XSD validation with multiple namespaces

Hi All,
I'm trying to validate some XML using an XSD that contains multiple namespace schema descriptions, as such, the main XSD file must import an XSD for each namespace.
The difficulty is that I cannot seem to find a way (in Oracle) to run a XSD validation using this (multi-XSD file) method.
Has anyone out there tackled a similar problem?
Cheers,
Ben

XML Validation with multiple XSD files (referenced)

Hello,
I know that XML validation with version 7.1 is possible now. However I was provided with a set of XSD files that have references to each other and need to be placed in a hierachical file system order so that references can be resolved.
An element <xsl:include schemaLocation="../../baseSchemas/baseSchema.xsd" /> is used for example. How can I handle that for XSD validation in PI? Can I create the same folder structure or do I need to put all XSD files in one directory and change the import manually?
But most important question: Is it possible it all to use more than one XSD for schema validation?

Dear Florian,
I had encountered such case in a project.
I was given 3 files. One main file and 2 others called Schema1.xsd and Schema2.xsd.
This happens because your data type is not in single namespace, but is being referred across namespaces and software components.
I am assuming that you have read the How to Guide for XML validations on PI 7.1
Best way to do this quickly is as follows.
1. Enable XML validation at adapter engine in the sender agreement.
2. Post a message using HTTP post. (http://sappihttpclient.codeplex.com)
3. Check communication channel in runtime workbench. There will be an error saying which is missing at what path.
4. Create the path mentioned and place the file at that path.
5. Repeat steps 2,3,4 for all the files.
When you are done with this, you will get a proper validation error in case XML file is not correct. And remember to generate XSD from message type and not data type.
Regards,
Vikas

Validating with multiple schemas

I am setting the schama attribute as follow:
String schemaSource = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\ayache\\My Documents\\C5 XML\\schema\\searhRequest.xsd";
String JAXP_SCHEMA_SOURCE = "http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource";
builderFactory.setAttribute(JAXP_SCHEMA_SOURCE, new File(schemaSource));searchRequest.xsd contains include statement: it referes to another schema. When i try to validate the xml document using the scheam above error is thrown stating that the elements that are defined in the second schema(BookingProfile.xsd) are not recognised or can't be resolved.
Is there a way to set multiple schemas?
Your help is much appreciated.

I figured out my problem in case anyone else is having trouble..
In the xml document that you need to refer to:
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance that is the namespace
supported by xerces 1.3.1.
Whew!

Here is a snippet of code...
SAXParserFactory objFactory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
objFactory.setValidating("true");
objFactory.setNamespaceAware("true");
objFactory.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",
"true");
objXMLInputParser.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(XMLDocument)),

When my xml code runs through the parser I get an error for each element
saying
the element type is not declared in the dtd or schema.
Since weblogic 6.1 runs with 1.3.1 Xerces parser. Does it support xml
validation
with a Schema. From what I've read it seems that it does.
Any help or insight would be appreciated.

XML Structured Index with multiple namespaces

Hi,
I'm having some trouble creating an xmlindex with structured component on a clob xmltype column without registered schema, whose data uses multiple namespaces.
The code I'm using atm:
CREATE TABLE "DECLARATIONS"
    "ID" NUMBER(19,0),
    "XML" "SYS"."XMLTYPE"
CREATE INDEX decl_header_ix ON "DECLARATIONS"(xml) INDEXTYPE IS XDB.XMLINDEX
PARAMETERS ('PATHS (INCLUDE (/emcs:emcsDeclaration/emcs:header//*)
                      NAMESPACE MAPPING (xmlns:emcs="http://www.myurl.eu/myapp/schema/emcs/nl"))');
INSERT INTO "DECLARATIONS" VALUES (1,'
<?xml version = ''1.0'' encoding = ''UTF-8'' standalone = ''yes''?>
<emcs:emcsDeclaration xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.myurl.eu/myapp/schema/emcs/nl emcs_domain.xsd"
xmlns:common="http://www.myurl.eu/myapp/schema/common"
xmlns:emcs="http://www.myurl.eu/myapp/schema/emcs/nl"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <emcs:header>
      <common:identifier>70</common:identifier>
      <common:declarationSequenceNumber>54566</common:declarationSequenceNumber>
      <common:dateCreated>2010-10-21-01:00</common:dateCreated>
      <common:status>01 Draft e-AAD in preparation</common:status>
   </emcs:header>
</emcs:emcsDeclaration>');A this moment it's not desirable for us to register the schemas used in oracle. According to the documentation I should be able to add a structured component to the index as follows:
BEGIN
      DBMS_XMLINDEX.registerParameter('MY_XSI_GROUP_PARAMETER'
              , 'ADD_GROUP GROUP MY_XSI_GROUP
               XMLTABLE decl_header
               XMLNAMESPACES (''http://www.myurl.eu/myapp/schema/emcs/nl'' AS emcs,
                       ''http://www.myurl.eu/myapp/schema/common'' AS common),
                    COLUMNS
              status VARCHAR2(30) PATH ''/emcs:emcsDeclaration/emcs:header/common:status/text()''
   END;
ALTER INDEX DECL_HEADER_IX PARAMETERS('PARAM MY_XSI_GROUP_PARAMETER');However this results in an ORA-00904: invalid identifier. After some experimenting it seems that oracle tries to parse the namespace URLs as identifiers (even tho http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14072_01/appdev.112/e10492/xdb_indexing.htm#BCGJAAGH & http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14072_01/appdev.112/e10492/xdb_xquery.htm#BABJCHCC specify the former), so I swapped them around:
BEGIN
      DBMS_XMLINDEX.dropParameter('MY_XSI_GROUP_PARAMETER');
      DBMS_XMLINDEX.registerParameter('MY_XSI_GROUP_PARAMETER'
          , 'ADD_GROUP GROUP MY_XSI_GROUP
          XMLTABLE decl_header
          XMLNAMESPACES (emcs ''http://www.myurl.eu/myapp/schema/emcs/nl'',
          common ''http://www.myurl.eu/myapp/schema/common''),
          COLUMNS
          status varchar2(30) PATH ''/emcs:emcsDeclaration/emcs:header/common:status/text()''
   END;
ALTER INDEX DECL_HEADER_IX PARAMETERS('PARAM MY_XSI_GROUP_PARAMETER');Oracle seems to get a bit further with this, resulting in a ORA-19102: XQuery string literal expected. Here I pretty much hit a dead end. Removing the xmlnamespaces declaration altogether leads to a ORA-31013: Invalid XPATH expression. Going through the examples on http://www.liberidu.com/blog/?p=1805 works fine, but as soon as I try to add namespaces to it they stop working as well.
So my question is: how do I get xmlnamespaces (with non-default namespaces) to work in a structured xmlindex component?

XPath expression with multiple namespaces?

Hello all.
I have been scouring the forums and Google and can't seem to find anything similar to my problem.
I have the following XML with three namespaces. Two are defined in the root element and the third is defined in the the IdSession element. To make things even more confusing, the second and third namespaces have the same prefix, 'f'.
This is the xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<NamespaceTestCall xmlns="http://my.default/namespace"
xmlns:f="http://my.second/namespace">
...<f:Level1>
......<f:IdSession xmlns:f="http://my.third/namespace">12345</f:IdSession>
......<Language>ENG</Language>
...</f:Nivel1>
</NamespaceTestCall>
My question is, how do I get at the IdSession element? Don't I need to create an XPath object and assign it more than one NamespaceContext?
This is what I am doing:
Document xmlDocument = loadXML(xmlSource);
XPath xpathEvaluator = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
xpathEvaluator.setNamespaceContext(new NamespaceContextProvider("a", "http://my.third/namespace"));
... xpathEvaluator.evaluate("//a:IdSession", ...);
This code works but it might not return the 'IdSession' I want, since by searching like this '//a:IdSession' it is looking in the whole document. If there were another 'IdSession' somewhere else in the document with the same URI, it would be returned. I want the 'IdSession' that lives inside of 'Level1'.
So what I would like to do is something like this:
... xpathEvaluator.evaluate("/*/Level1/a:IdSession", ...);
But this does NOT work because 'Level1' has its own namespace. So what it seems like I need to do is the following:
... xpathEvaluator.evaluate("/*/b:Level1/a:IdSession", ...);
Having already added the 'Level1' namespace to the XPath object, with the prefix 'b'. But unlike JDOM, there is no 'add' functionality, only 'set', meaning if you call set twice the second call overwrites the first.
Is there anyway to do this?
Many thanks!
Bob

Hello,
Sorry, that was my bad. I should have explained that NamespaceContextProvider is nothing more than my implementation of the NamespaceContext interface. The way I did it, I simply implemented getNamespaceURI() and getPrefix(). And the constructor accepted two parameters -- prefix and URI. So my problem was that when I assigned this NamespaceContext to my XPath object it would only have one prefix and one URI.
But I found an implementation here:
http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/user/view/cs_msg/50304
that instead of only having one prefix and URI uses a map. Thus its method setNamespace() adds the prefix and URi to the map, and getPrefix() and getPrefixes() retrieve them from the map.
Now when I want to use more than one namespace I simply call setNamespace() as many times as necessary, adding a prefix and URI pair each time, and when I am done I assign it to my XPath object.
And it works!
Thanks for the response!
Bob

Using xpath.evaluate(): xpath exp with multiple namespaces

Hi,
I have to evaluate a xpath expression with parent node and child node having different namespaces. Like : env:parent/mig:child.
I have set the namespacecontext for the child node[i.e., for the prefix 'mig'.]
But am getting this error :
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Prefix must resolve to a namespace: env
How can I set the namespace context for both the parent and child nodes? Or is there are any other way of doing it?
I cant use //mig:child as the requirement needs the whole xpath expression [env:parent/mig:child] to be given as input for the xpath.evaluate() method.
Here's the code :
File file = new File("D:\\Backup\\XMLs\\test.xml");
Document xmlDocument = builder.parse(file);
XPath xpathEvaluator = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
xpathEvaluator.setNamespaceContext(new NamespaceContextProvider("env", "http://xmlns.oracle.com/apps/account/1.0"));
NodeList nodeList =
(NodeList)xpathEvaluator.evaluate("/env:parent/mig:child", xmlDocument,
XPathConstants.NODESET);
xpathEvaluator.setNamespaceContext(new NamespaceContextProvider("mig", "http://xmlns.oracle.com/apps/account/1.0"));
Thanks in advance.

Complex xml with multiple namespaces giving LPX-00601: Invalid token error

Hi
Apologies if this is a really simple question.
I have not worked with xml before and I'm drowning in different ways to do the extract.
I have a very complex xml, sample below, which I'm trying to do one siple extract to get myself going.
I have the data in a table in an xmltype column,
I am trying to extract containernumber first and get the error.
select xml_column, extract(xml_column,'/env:Envelope/env:Body/ns0:QueryCntrNumberResponse/ns0:QueryResContainerDetail/ns1:ContainerNumber/ns2:ContainerNumber')
from test_xml;
Not sure if I should use the namespaces and have tried without but results are always NULL
I would really appreciate any pointers around these ultiple namespaces.
Thanks
Nicki

TextField validation with multiple options

Hi.
I am trying to create a textField widget that can have a
number of possible correct answers. Can anyone let me know if this
is possible. I have successfully created a textField that validates
one answer with the use of Type Custom, but i am unsure how to have
multiple correct answers for one textField.
Thanks
Barry.

Hi Barry,
to validate more values inside the textfield widget, you have
to create your custom regular expression that fits with what values
you accept for that input field.
So your contructor should look similar with this:
var sprytextfield1 = new
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield1", "custom",
{regExpFilter:/test1|test2|test3/, useCharacterMasking:true});
This regexp is translated: the textfiled will accept only
test1, test2, test3 values.
You can also have this behavior if you create a custom
function having a set of switch values:
switch(){
case1: ...
case2:...
default:false
and you call this function as option in the widget
constructor.

XSD Validation with ABAP XML Parser?

Hello there,
i'm loading xml files into a R/3 System. This all works fine with the standard XML Parser.
The XML Files are based on a .xsd structure that is assigned to each file with a external link.
To be sure that the xml document conforms to this .xsd structure i would like to check against it.
For that i would like to hold a .xsd structure string in my abap programm.
How can this be accomplished? Is this possible anyway?
Greetings and many thanks.

Response with multiple namespaces...

Hi there!
We have several webservices working as "document", they receive a XML document and send a XML document as response.
The problem is that the returned document has a namespace prefix for each XML tag. All of then with the same name space:
[n1:enviar_ofersecResponse xmlns:n1="a name space"]
[n2:IdentificacionMensaje xmlns:n2="a name space" v="respuesta_ofersecen01_20040921.1"/]
[n3:FechaHoraMensaje xmlns:n3="a name space" v="2004-09-21T12:07:30+02:00"/]
[n4:IdentificacionRemitente xmlns:n4="a name space" v="HC_G"/]
[n5:FuncionRemitente xmlns:n5="a name space" v="A08"/]
... and so on...
How avoid this different prefix with the same name space for each tag?. Our xml documents are big... about 5 M... so it's a waste of space and time process all those prefix and namespaces...
Thanks in advance!.

Hello,
We are experiencing this as well as we are upgrading from WLS 7.0 to 8.1. WLS 7.0 worked as expected. We made no changes to the webservices.xml between 7.0 and 8.1. This response element snippet is an example of 7.0 compared to 8.1:
***BEFORE - wls 7***
<ns1:memberFound>Y</ns1:memberFound>
***AFTER - wls 8.1***
<ns1:memberFound xmlns:ns1="http://www.definityhealth.com/webservice/member/memberlookup">Y</ns1:memberFound>
I'm pursuing this with support and will report back findings here.
thanks,
chad.

Issue with extracting node values of an XMLElement with multiple namespaces

I have created a Table with XMLType Column
CREATE TABLE xmlNode

Then i ran:

extractValue(data,'/lineItemElement/rcss:catalogeID','xmlns=http://rcss.bell.ca/schema/lineitemmessages, xmlns:rcss=http://rcss.bell.ca/schema/PartnerBatch')
from xml where id=1
There is nothing returned.
Please advise how could I get the node value when there is namespace?
I know how to extract values if there is one namespace but i'm not able to extract values if there are two namespaces.
Any help is appreciable!!
Thanks in Advance.

I fixed that problem too. What I thought was a singleton was actually a repeating element. I needed to be able to "multiply" the repeating node for the main node, but I couldn't find a concise way of doing this in SQL. So instead I did it in with two loops.
FOR rec IN (
SELECT
     extractvalue(value(e), 'surchargeEntry/company',p_namespace) company
     ,extractvalue(value(e), 'surchargeEntry/surchargeType',p_namespace) surcharge_type
     ,extractvalue(value(e), 'surchargeEntry/shortDescription',p_namespace) short_description
     ,extractvalue(value(e), 'surchargeEntry/longDescription',p_namespace) long_description
     ,e.column_value surcharge_entry_xml
     FROM TABLE(xmlsequence(extract(p_xml, 'surchargeInquiryResponse' ||
     '/surchargeAttributes/surchargeEntry'
                                                                                ,p_namespace))) e
) LOOP
FOR rec_country IN (
SELECT
     extractvalue(value(c), 'country/originationCountry',p_namespace) origination_country
     ,extractvalue(value(c), 'country/destinationCountry',p_namespace) destination_country
     FROM TABLE(xmlsequence(extract(rec.surcharge_entry_xml, 'surchargeEntry/country',p_namespace))) c
LOOP
nafta_fee_obj.append_surcharge_entry_data(
          v_arr
          ,r_surcharge_entry(
          rec.company
          ,rec.surcharge_type
          ,rec.short_description
          ,rec.long_description
          ,rec_country.origination_country
          ,rec_country.destination_country
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
I populate a collection, which is easy to pass around between routines. I can easily convert the collection to a ref cursor, and index-by array, comma-delimited string, etc.
Apparently, the namespace is required in SQL, but not in staright PL/SQL.
I've also noticed that the docs say xmltype() has all these member functions, but when I try to use some of them, I get an error that it's undefined. Like getNumVal(). There are some functions I can use in SQL, or PL/SQL, but not vice-versa.

XMLTable with multiple namespaces

I have a web service that returns the following XML:
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <s:Body>
      <GetGeoLocationIDByWellTagIDResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
         <GetGeoLocationIDByWellTagIDResult xmlns:a="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
            <a:int>9110910</a:int>
         </GetGeoLocationIDByWellTagIDResult>
      </GetGeoLocationIDByWellTagIDResponse>
   </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>There is the possibility of more than one Int being returned, so I am trying to use xmltable to pull out this information. But I am having some difficulty pulling out the ID node, because (I am guessing) the node is named "a:int". Here is an example of how I am attempting to get this data:
select x.*
from
(select xmltype.createxml('<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <s:Body>
      <GetGeoLocationIDByWellTagIDResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
         <GetGeoLocationIDByWellTagIDResult xmlns:a="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
            <a:int>9110910</a:int>
         </GetGeoLocationIDByWellTagIDResult>
      </GetGeoLocationIDByWellTagIDResponse>
   </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>') xml from dual) t,
xmltable(
xmlnamespaces (
'http://tempuri.org/' as "e",
'http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays' as "a"),
'//e:GetGeoLocationIDByWellTagIDResponse/a:GetGeoLocationIDByWellTagIDResult'
passing t.xml
columns
loc_id int path 'a:int'
) x;This just returns null.
How do I references the "a:int" node in the columns clause to correctly get this record back?

Extract on xmltype with multiple namespaces

Given the following xml instance document can you share an example to retrieve the data of the <TransactionNumber> and <IdValue> elements using the XMLType data type. This document is generated by XBD and has 3 different namespaces.
declare
lv_xml xmltype := xmltype(
'<ConfirmAddStudentDeposit xmlns="urn:sungardsct:udc:ws:messages:1.0">
     <StudentDepositIdentifier>
          <AccountIdentifier xmlns="urn:sungardsct:udc:domain:ar:1.0">
               <IdValue xmlns="urn:sungardsct:udc:resources:common:1.0" name="BannerUID">210009102</IdValue>
          </AccountIdentifier>
          <TransactionNumber xmlns="urn:sungardsct:udc:domain:ar:1.0">8</TransactionNumber>
          <ReceiptNumber xmlns="urn:sungardsct:udc:domain:ar:1.0">1606</ReceiptNumber>
     </StudentDepositIdentifier>
</ConfirmAddStudentDeposit>');
lv_frag xmltype;
begin
lv_frag := lv_xml.extract('/ConfirmAddStudentDeposit/StudentDepositIdentifier/TransactionNumber', 'xmlns="urn:sungardsct:udc:ws:messages:1.0" xmlns="urn:sungardsct:udc:domain:ar:1.0"');
if lv_frag is null then
dbms_output.put_line('NO good');
else
dbms_output.put_line('maybe working');
end if;
end;

You'll need to use prefixs or namespaces
declare
lv_xml xmltype := xmltype(
'<ConfirmAddStudentDeposit xmlns="urn:sungardsct:udc:ws:messages:1.0">
<StudentDepositIdentifier>
<AccountIdentifier xmlns="urn:sungardsct:udc:domain:ar:1.0">
<IdValue xmlns="urn:sungardsct:udc:resources:common:1.0" name="BannerUID">210009102</IdValue>
</AccountIdentifier>
<TransactionNumber xmlns="urn:sungardsct:udc:domain:ar:1.0">8</TransactionNumber>
<ReceiptNumber xmlns="urn:sungardsct:udc:domain:ar:1.0">1606</ReceiptNumber>
</StudentDepositIdentifier>
</ConfirmAddStudentDeposit>');
lv_frag xmltype;
begin
lv_frag := lv_xml.extract('/a:ConfirmAddStudentDeposit/a:StudentDepositIdentifier/c:TransactionNumber', 'xmlns:a="urn:sungardsct:udc:ws:messages:1.0" xmlns:c="urn:sungardsct:udc:domain:ar:1.0"');
if lv_frag is null then
dbms_output.put_line('NO good');
else
dbms_output.put_line('maybe working');
end if;
end;

XML doc with multiple namespaces

Hi,
a little stupid question...
Is it possible to get a xml file that assigns two different namespaces and I don't want to use a prefix?
example:
xml doc uses namespace xmlns:a="someuri" and xmlns:b="otheruri"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Root xmlns="someuri" xmlns:b="otheruri">
<test/>
<b:rest/>
</Root>
Some way to get prefix b out of it?
Thanx

okay, it was a stupid question...
solution:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Root xmlns="someuri" xmlns:b="otheruri">
<test/>
<rest xmlns="otheruri"/>
</Root>

XML with multiple namespaces

I have an XML file
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<Document xmlns="http://www.taleo.com/ws/integration/toolkit/2011/05">
+<Attributes>
-<Content>
-<ExportXML xmlns="http://www.taleo.com/ws/integration/toolkit/2005/07/action/export">

<field name="ContestNumber">12000000RT</field>
<field name="JobInformation,JobType,Description">Experienced</field>
</record>
</ExportXML>
</Content>
</Document>
I am using the following file to retrieve the data
SELECT *
   FROM XMLTable(XMLNAMESPACES('http://www.taleo.com/ws/integration/toolkit/2011/05' as "n1",
   'http://www.taleo.com/ws/integration/toolkit/2005/07/action/export' as "n2"), '//n1:Document/Content/n2:ExportXML/record'
            passing xmltype(
                 bfilename('TEST','TALEOOUT-12-26.xml')
                 , nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')
     columns
     ContestName varchar2(1000) path 'field[1]'
     )What am i doing wrong

This was the code that worked.Thanks A_Non .
