Xsl processor and xml parser?

Hello,
Can someone tell me wich is the xsl processor and the xml parser used by Livecycle ES? And their versions?
Thank you

XML Parser parses the text representation of an XML 1.0-compliant document to make the document's information set -- elements, attributes, text, comments, processing instructions, namespace declarations -- available for access to a comptuter program.
Without a parser, a program cannot make heads or tails of the tree of information contained in your tags.
An XSL Processor is a program that takes an XML Document as input, along with an XSLT transformation definition (also known as a stylesheet), and effects the transformation of the source document as instructed by the stylesheet. This might mean transforming:
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<ENAME>Steve</ENAME>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
into
<human-resources>
<employee name="Steve"/>
</human-resources>
or alternatively into:
<html>
<body>
Steve
</body>
</html>
In both cases, the source XML document
is the same, but when transformed by
one stylesheet, it might become
the <human-resources> XML document.
When transformed by another stylesheet,
it can become pretty HTML.
To put the two terms in context, an XSL processor uses an XML parser to read the source XML document and to read the XSL transformation definition (aka stylesheet) -- since it, too, is an XML document -- and then it proceeds to transform the source into the target.

XDK for PL/SQL and XML Parser for PL/SQL

Is there a difference between the terms:
XDK for PL/SQL
and
XML Parser for PL/SQL V2
or are they the same thing...?
cheers,

XDK stands for XML Developer's Kit. There are Oracle XDKs for Java, C, C++, and PL/SQL. These development kits contain building blocks for reading, manipulating, transforming, and viewing XML documents.
XML Parser is one component of XDK. Other components of XDK are
XSLT Processor, XSU, XSQL Servlet, XML Class Generator, etc.
For more information on XDK and its components please refer to:

Problem in IAS Server with generation of PDF with FOP and XML parsing

Dear co.forumers :
We are developing an application that generates a pdf document with FOP Apache utilities, and this PDf is stored in a folder of the server. Firts of all, a DDBB data is retrieved using java ( jdbc) middleware classes ( servlets ), and with these data, the pdf is generated using FOP. In these process, he data retrieved from the DDBB is converted in a XML file , and the with the XSL FOP utility, the pdf is generated.
In the other hand, we have another application that consults data from a java beans, using a JSP, generates a XML with the data of the beans, and with this XML, and with a XSL file generates and html , with the data and fixed text.
Both applications have been deployed as a separated WebApp in the IAS. Both use Xalan as XML parser amb Xerces is used aswell.
So, the problem is , after generating a pdf with the firts application, every html generated via JSP-XML-XSL transformation in the second application is shown completelly bad formated. All fixed text are wrongly composed, and the text that should appear in textFields and ComboBoxes is also bad formated. The XML with the data is well generated, so the problem is in the parsing of these XML and the conversion in html through XSL. We have to re-initiate the server and then everything goes well again. If no pdf is launched, no problem occurs with the other application.
How an a WEB APP pplication can affect to another, installed both in different folders of the IAS ? We tried to change Xalan version and FOP version, but no result.
Is this a Poltergeist ?? and X file , maybe ?
Has anyone had the same problem ?
Pleae, any help will be very wellcomed.

A PDF document may be generated in the JDeveloper OC4J server.

Abstract Method Error and XML Parsing

I am using wl6sp1. I am parsing an XML file from within the
servlet using jaxp1.1 and crimson.
Following is code:
1- SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
2- sp = spf.newSAXParser();
3- xr = sp.getXMLReader();
4- xr.setContentHandler(new ParseXML());
5- xr.parse( new InputSource("Example3.xml"));
This program works fine when execute from command line but in servlet on line
3 it says:
"Abstract Method Error"
I have created XML Registry to use Crimson as XML parser rather than default.
I think somehow wl is still using jaxp1.0 which is built in
support in wlsp1.
Whats wrong with the code...or what configuration i am missing???

I'm assuming you have already put crimson.jar first in the classpath for the java
command you use to start WebLogic. If so, have you tried putting the servlet in
a .war file with the crimson.jar in its' WEB-INF/lib directory?

Oracle8.1.5 and XML parser for PL/SQL

Hi,
Does XML parser for PL/SQL work with Oracle 8.1.5? Did any one install the
same and if so what are steps to follow? I ran initjvm.sql to install
JServer and then tried to load jar files using loadjava, but it's giving
error. It's working fine with Oracle8.1.6.
Any idea?
Thanks,

Oracle XML Parser has differents distributions for 8.1.5 and 8.1.6 databases, try the correct version, then runs the oraclexmlsqlload.csh from the lib directory of XSU distribution.

Java and XML Parser. Please guide.

Hello there,
I need to pass an XML document using the SAX Parser.
Please does any one have an XML Parser routine to parse
the document or can some one guide me as to what to do?

any sax parsers?What version of Java are you using? With Java 1.4 the XML parser is included in the SDK / JRE.
If you're using an older version of Java, go to http://xml.apache.org and get the Xerces parser.

hi,
there are two versions of ldap supported in wls6.1 , ldapv1 and ldavp2
ldap v1 only has the functionality of listing groups.
but where ldapv2 doesn't have that functionality,
by looking at your config , it seems you are using ldap v2..
if u need that functionality u can use ldapv1.
thanks

Per a proof of concept, I am having trouble getting WL6.1 to see
group members as defined in iPlanet LDAP. I can see the groups,
but modifies to create groups only create them in the local DB.
Created users also only get placed in the local DB. I can bind
for searches as Directory Manager via ldapsearch and run queries,
and the DS gateway works fine. I can dump the LDIF file and the
entries look fine.
I copied and modified the template for the Netscape server and
have the realm setup per the GUI.
For sanity, everything is very generic as:
the Root DN is "o=test.org"
and my "Configuration" part from the config.xml looks like:
server.authprotocol=simple;
server.host=localhost;
membership.filter=(&(uniquemember=%M)(objectclass=groupofuniquenames));
server.port=390;
group.dn=o=test.org;
group.filter=(&(cn=%g)(objectclass=groupofuniquenames));
server.principal=cn=Directory Manager;
user.dn=o=test.org;
server.groupiscontext=false;
user.filter=(&(uid=%u))
I added the "authprotocol" as a guess. Note that the server is
running on port 390, this is not a typo.
Any ideas what is going wrong?

Xdk and xml parser[JAVA]

r.DTD to oracle.xml.parser.v2.DTD.
generator.generate(dtd, doctype_name);

The problem is that I can't find the appropriate XML parser Library.
My question is Which JAR file is it ?
Or which version ?
Thanx for any help!

_03 runtime env and XML parsing in applet

Hi all,
weird and annoying problem with an applet set up to read an XML file on the same server to create graph. Recently graduated to runtime 1_4_03 from 1_4_02. No issues at all reading the file with _02 but getting permission denied with _03.
Tracked it down to lines below. There seems to now be a security violation reading the contents of the XML file. Both as I said are sitting in the same dir on the server. Has anyone else had this happen and if so did any solutions come to mind?
URL u = new URL(getCodeBase(), XMLDOC);
String us = url.toString();
saxParser.parse(urlString, parser);
Thanks, Mike

This is the error that is being returned
Exception in init parser: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission entityExpansionLimit read)
hmm?

Xsl:include and xml:import

I want to use another stylesheet within the original one.
the documentation just said how to declare an
xsl:include or xsl:import element as top level, but no examples about how to call the imported or included stylesheet.
I'll appreciate any examples you can provide to me .
Thanks
Chris

I've done this, and the way i think about it is that each "imported" XSL document combines (or are appended) into the XSL document that imports the other XSL documents. As such, all of the template matching that is occuring has to be consistent with the way the XML tags are matching up with XSL templates.
It is important that the templates in each imported XSL document will match up to the XML tags that the templates are designed to transform.
In other words, if i have an employee list <emp>, and an XSL template matching the <emp> element, i can produce a transformation on the list itself. now, i can define a transformation for a child element of <emp> by "importing" the XSL document that defines the template match for the child element (for example, "emp/lastName" can be what the second XSL document matches on).
Long story short, if you can paste the imported XSL into the importing XSL and things still work, then you can separate them out into multiple modular XSL files for inclusion.

I agree with the rest of you folks. JDOM will be your best bet for integration. I am currently using JDOM to parse and/or create xml documents. As mentioned the tutorials are very good to check out. If you just want to hit the JDOM highlights and hit the ground running check out this link. http://www.jdom.org/downloads/docs.html
Take some time to check out the first 3 links on that page. They are JDOM and XML Parsing, Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. Very good information about JDOM and XML parsing.
Hope some of this will help!

XML parser and XML processor

Hi,
I am trying to load the XML Parser and XSLT processor into the XDK that i have. Please can someone tell me how this is done. So far i keep hearing about classpath and .jar files. i have no idea what to do with these. Is there a manual which will tell me how to do this? Or can anyone explain to me?. Or can anyone tell me how to check if they are already there, the technican installed the software but does not know how to use it!, so i am very lost with this and am using it for my masters project.
Hope you can help.
Thanks

Hi,
I have checked the lib folder. xmlparsev2.jar is there. Is this the classpath? if not how do i get it to the classpath? and how do i do that?

Swapping XML Parser and XSLT to Xalan 2.7.0 - Not Working (OC4J 10.1.3)

Hi-
I'm trying to use the latest Xercies/Xalan classes in OC4J 10.1.3 as described in the How-To swap XML Parsers document:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/1013/how_to/how-to-swapxmlparser/doc/readme.html
What I can see happening is that the oracle.xml shared library is successfully 'turned off', but the xalan libraries are not added. Instead, the default xml classes that are distributed with the JDK become visible. For instance, using a slightly modified version of the index.jsp page from the how-to, I get this result:
------ Output from JSP page ----------------
TransformerFactory Instance: org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl
Transformer Instance: org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerIdentityImpl
Transformer Version: Xalan Java 2.4.1 (!!)
What I expect is for that last line to say version 2.7.0, which is the version of the xalan.jar included in my shared library (code to add that line to the how-to shown below).
I suspect what is happening is that the class loader is simply not letting a shared library override a system library - to do that you probably need to place the jar files in system endorsed directory.
Has anyone gotten this how-to to work - actually replacing the XML parser/transform classes with the latest Xalan classes? Are you sure it is seeing the current version you placed in the shared library?
Thanks,
Eric Everman
---- My modified getXSLTDetails() method in the index.jsp page of the how-to -------

<%@ page import="org.apache.xalan.Version" %>
public static String getXSLTDetails()
Transformer transformer=null;
TransformerFactory transformerfactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
 Version ver = null;
 String br = "<" + "br" + ">"; //otherwise the otn forum chocks on the break.
try
transformer = transformerfactory.newTransformer();
 ver = (Version) transformer.getClass().forName("org.apache.xalan.Version").newInstance();
 String ret_val =
 "TransformerFactory Instance: "+transformerfactory.getClass().getName() + br +
 "Transformer Instance: "+transformer.getClass().getName() + br;
 if (ver != null) {
 ret_val = ret_val + "Transformer Version: " + ver.getVersion() + br;
 } else {
 ret_val = ret_val + "Transformer Version not Available" + br;
 return ret_val;
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
return e.getMessage();

Steve - Thanks for responding on this.
The Xalan SQL extension is built into Xalan. The most painless way to try it out is to run it via JEdit: www.jedit.org
JEdit a OS Java application with a fairly painless install process (I'm assuming you already have a current JRE installed). Once its installed, you'll need to install the XSLT plugin - in JEdit goto Plugins | Plugin Manager | Install and pick the XSLT plugin. You'll need the Oracle JDBC classes on your classpath - this can be done by copying the oracle_jdbc4.jar into the [JEdit install directory]/jars directory.
Restart to load that jar and you should be all set.
I included a sample XSLT page at the bottom of this post that is somewhat of a template transform for the SQL extension - its more complicated then it needs to be, but it does some nice things with the results of the query. Save it as a file and make the appropriate changes to the 'datasource' parameter near the top of the file.
Then in JEdit, open the file and make sure the XSLT plugin is visible (Plugins | XSLT | XSLT Processor Toggle - or alternately dock it in the window via global prefs). In the XSLT plugin: Allow the current buffer to be used as the source, Add that same file as a stylesheet via the '+' button, and pick a result file at the bottom. Then click the 'Transform XML' button.
Troubleshooting: I seem to remember having some classpath errors when I tried this on windows, but others have had it work w/o issues. I do remeber that the XSLT plugin had a popup window that gave a pretty good explaintion of the problem, if it occurs. Also, for some reason the XSLT plugin will not create a new file for the output, so its often best to create a file first, then choose it as the output. Of course, you can always run a transformation from the command line or w/in an applicatoin. Full docs on the Xalan SQL extension can be found at: http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensionslib.html#sql
Here is my sample XSLT transform using the SQL extension:
