Xsl:selecting nodes in ascending order

Hi,
Could anybody please answer this query.
I have the following xml
<Root>
<Child>
     <number>1</number>
</Child>
<Child>
     <number>3</number>
</Child>
<Child>
     <number>4</number>
</Child>
<Child>
     <number>6</number>
</Child>
<Child>
     <number>7</number>
</Child>
<Child>
     <number>10</number>
</Child>
</Root>
Now from xsl i need to select Child nodes in ascending order based on the <number> tag within <Child> node.
Also at max there will be 10 child nodes,As the loop goes and retrives the nodes,I need to know which nodes
have gone missing as i need to do some thing if a node is missing {For example in the above xml Child nodes
with number 2,5,8,9 are missing.
Is there any way I can do this?
Thanks and Regards,
Deepak

There's <xsl:sort> if you want to process a node set in ascending sequence. And there's the preceding-sibling axis if you want to look at a previous sibling node. You would want to test whether the preceding sibling's number element was one less than the current node's number element.

XSL select node type

If I have an xsl:template select-expression that can select both say <html:h1> and <html:h2>, is there a way in XSL of inspecting the elements of the resulting node-set and distinguishing which ones were <h1> and which were <h2>?
Probably blindingly obvious ... but not to me ;-(

I think the function is localname()? Or maybe local-name()?
That returns the name of the currentNode...maybe.
I have no xsl testy framework thing here since I haven't needed it for the current job, so you may want to take this with a pinch of salt.
So...if I'm right...something like:
<xsl:if test="local-name() = 'h1'">
do stuff.
</xsl:if>May need namespaces and the like, but I think that's the general structure.
...I hate trying to write this stuff "blind"...

Variable selection screen- text in ascending order

Hi All,
Is there a way to display the medium/long text description in ascending order in selection screen? rather than displaying the key in ascending order. is it possible?
thanks

Hi Abby,
you can arrange the variables only in the querydesigner. In the settings you can choose the order of the variables.
I hope this will help.
Kind regards,

How to select Most recent record with rest of record in ascending order...?

Dear Expert,
I have one table called Tab1 & have a lot columns. For this schenario, i mentioned few of the columns.
The columns are
product_type varchar2(100),
curr_date date (storing with time stamp),
other1_cloumn varchar2(10),
other2_cloumn varchar2(10)
Now I want to display all the records in ascending order except most recent record for every product_type || Union all || Most recent records in ascending order in single query.
For example...
product_type curr_date date other1_cloumn other2_cloumn
1, "10-May-2005 10:10:10", 10, 10
1, "10-May-2005 10:10:11", 10, 10
1, "10-May-2005 10:10:12", 10, 10
1, "10-May-2005 10:10:09", 10, 10
2, "10-May-2005 10:10:10", 10, 10
2, "10-May-2005 10:10:11", 10, 10
2, "10-May-2005 10:10:12", 10, 10
2, "10-May-2005 10:10:09", 10, 10
3, "10-May-2005 10:10:10", 10, 10
3, "10-May-2005 10:10:11", 10, 10
3, "10-May-2005 10:10:12", 10, 10
3, "10-May-2005 10:10:09", 10, 10
Now I want to display (OUTPUT) like...
1, "10-May-2005 10:10:10", 10, 10
1, "10-May-2005 10:10:11", 10, 10
1, "10-May-2005 10:10:09", 10, 10
2, "10-May-2005 10:10:10", 10, 10
2, "10-May-2005 10:10:11", 10, 10
2, "10-May-2005 10:10:09", 10, 10
3, "10-May-2005 10:10:10", 10, 10
3, "10-May-2005 10:10:11", 10, 10
3, "10-May-2005 10:10:09", 10, 10
1, "10-May-2005 10:10:12", 10, 10
2, "10-May-2005 10:10:12", 10, 10
3, "10-May-2005 10:10:12", 10, 10
Plz, provide a solution....

I want to display like...
select * from tab1 where (product_type,curr_date) in
(select product_type,max(curr_date) from tab1 group by product_type)
order by product_type
Union All
(select * from tab1 where (product_type,curr_date) NOT IN
(select product_type,max(curr_date) from tab1 group by product_type)
order by product_type)
But, In the above case, The ORDER BY Clause will not work...How to get this one...?
I mean.. I want to display all the records in ascending order except Most recent record base on Product type and next I want to display Most recent record in ascending order. I want to display both cases in a single query...?

Accessing the records in ascending order using index hint

I am getting a problem in selecting the rows using the index hint which in i want to query in the ascending order.
for eg.
select /*+ index(temp_itr_header,tmp_itrhdr_1#IDX2) */ person_id
from temp_itr_header

Oracle knows that it doesn't have to resort data if it accessed individual rows from an index with the same sort order. In other words, adding the ORDER BY clause need not cause Oracle to do any extra work. Adding the ORDER BY does guarantee that the results will be sorted and will tend to cause Oracle to use the index, assuming it can avoid the sort that way. If you don't have an ORDER BY, Oracle is free to return rows in whatever order it would like regardless of your hint.
If you want to use the index hint, the syntax is
SELECT /*+ INDEX(temp_itr_header <<index name>>) */Note that you do not want to have a comma in your hint. Of course, if your statistics are accurate, you shouldn't need to resort to a hint here-- the CBO should pick the most efficient path.

Doesn't Sort data in Ascending order in Hash Table?

Hello
I am using JSP, Servlets. After quering in servlets, putting data in HashTable then set attribute in servlets, get attribute in JSP & retrieving data from HashTable in JSP & putting in select html element, data is not coming in ascending order in select drop down box. I need A,B,C,D but it is coming b,d,c,a. When I run query in DB, it shows in sequence but after putting in HashTable, it is not coming in sequence.
How to make it ascending?
Looking forward for an early reply.
Thanks.

Hi
Something to do with TreeMap(TreeSet). I tried with TreeSet but it didn't work. Here is the code :
In servlet :
Connection lConnection = getConnection(pRequest);
String lSQL = "";
Statement lStatement;
ResultSet lResultSet;
Hashtable lLtypeHashtable = new Hashtable();
lStatement = lConnection.createStatement();
lSQL = "SELECT RCID,RCMEANING FROM REFERENCECODES WHERE RCDOMAIN = 'LOCATIONTYPE' AND RCROWSTATE > 0 order by RCMEANING";
lResultSet = lStatement.executeQuery(lSQL);
while(lResultSet.next())
String lRcid = lResultSet.getString(1);
String lRcmeaning = lResultSet.getString(2);
lLtypeHashtable.put(lRcid.trim(),lRcmeaning.trim());
if(lResultSet != null) lResultSet.close();
if(lStatement != null) lStatement.close();
pRequest.setAttribute("LtypeHashtable",lLtypeHashtable);
//Below Query is executed when one data from select element is selected
String lLType = DisplayUtilities.getString(pRequest.getParameter("LType"),true);
//LType is name of select element in JSP.
if (lLType != null)
lSQL = lSQL + " AND " + lUpperCaseFunction + "(LOCATIONTYPE)" +
" = " + DBUtilities.formatString(lLType.toUpperCase());
pRequest.setAttribute("rLType",lLType+"");
In JSp :
<%
Hashtable lLtypeHashtable = (Hashtable)request.getAttribute("LtypeHashtable");
%>
<TR>
<TD width="15%"> <div align="left">
<select name="LType" size="1" >
<option Value="">< Select ></option>
<%
if(lLtypeHashtable != null)
Enumeration enum = lLtypeHashtable.keys();
while(enum.hasMoreElements())
String key = (String)enum.nextElement();
String value = (String)lLtypeHashtable.get(key);
String flagBack = "";
if(key.equals((String)request.getAttribute("rLType")))
flagBack = "selected";
%>
<option Value="<%=key%>" <%=flagBack%>><%=value%></option>
<%
%>
</select></div>
</TD>
</TR>
How should I implement TreeSet?
Looking forward for an early reply.
Thanks.

Need dimension members in Ascending order

Hi All,
We have a dimension with four Generations and in each generation their are some thousands of numeric members I want to make the numeric members in Ascending order I tried with Ascending option in outline Editor but it is making the Gen2 members in Ascending order and rest of the generations members are not in Ascending order. Please let me know is their any alternate method to make them in Ascending order.
Thanks in Advance,
Raj.

In the load rule that builds the dimension go to dimension build settings and select sort ascending. It will re-roder the members on loadl. If you are trying to sort by alias, then it's a little trickier. you would have to make sure your source file is in the correct order, then have two load rules. The first using a dummy member with remove unspecified checked to remove all the members in the dimension, then the second rule to load your sorted file (You would not check sort ascending in the rule).
If you are trying to do it in EAS, the sort button as you found out on;y sorts the children of the selected member, to sort everything this way, you would have to go to each aprent and click on sort.

How to display Column List (Search Bar - Do Not Display) in Ascending Order

Hi,
I am having a Interactive Report..
In the Search Bar we have Select Columns, under that we have Do Not Display.
where all the columns (currently not displayed) are listed.
How can we display these columns in Ascending order
Thanks,
Deepak

Do you want to display these columns in the IR?
If yes. Select the column you want to display and click the the '>'.
In the interactive report regions - source, where you have your query to select the columns use order by to sort them in assn order.
Do you want to keep these columns as 'Do not display' and have them in assn order there?
Select all columns to display and move the columns back to the 'Do not display' region one by one making selections in assn order.
Or in the query select the columns in the order desired.
I don't know if I am helping. I fell like I got your question all wrong. Still...

Inserted rows are not sorted in ascending order

Hi,
in my code when i click on a button (UpdateSchedule) certain rows are displayed in the result table. My problem is the displayed data is not in ascending order I know by keeping sort enable on a particular field we can sort the data as req. But the first time the result which is displayed is not an ascending order , i want to tackle this issue.
As whatever rows are displayed are not yet committed in database so modifying the query using order by clause also wont solve the issue . This data gets committed on a click of another button(ok).Can this be tackle programmatically ?
I hope i have given proper elaboration of the issue.
Regards,
Anant.

Reading this from Javadoc and understanding your requirement makes me feel that achieving it would not be easy, or may not be possible at all unless FWK provides some override to these rules.
Restrictions & limitations:
Sorting is performed by requerying the database.
May not work well with view objects (VOs) that contain custom 'expert-mode' SQL. Basically the VO.setOrderByClause() is invoked on the VO using the column name associated with this web bean. An alternative for 'expert-mode' SQL may involve overriding the view object setOrderByClause() and performing custom logic. Note: The orderByParameter will be the column name plus either " desc" or " asc".
Will not work with view objects that contain the view attribute expression "See the SQL...". To sort on these view attributes, modify the VO XML directly and change the view atttribute expression to the SQL column name.
Sorting is not allowed for tables that allow inserts.
Sorting is not supported for tables containing updateable columns (unless the updateable columns are mapped to transient VO columns.) No exception is thrown if the table contains updateable columns, since there may be a rare case when it makes sense, for example a table where the contents fit on one page.
Modified transient columns will be reset. This is normal and expected behavior.
Sorting is not supported on the 'Select' column - this is the first column of a table when it contains a checkbox or radio button.
The table bean will invoke the following two methods on the view object to perform sorting. Debugging can be performed by setting a break on these methods on the VO (or a superclass of the VO.)
viewObject.setOrderByClause(orderByClause);
viewObject.executeQuery();

Display ascending order

i have retrived database data using below statement in jsp page, now i want to retrieve values in which it display ascending order of vou_no....
the vou_no is as follow:
BP0101001
BP0101002
BP0101003
BP0101004
("select * from pay_header, pay_detail where pay_header.vou_no = pay_detail.vou_no and pay_header.vou_no like 'BP%' ");

thanx for u r help
is there possible that i got a record from database, which is greater than all the voucher no.
it should fetch a full record for that particular record.
i have used following..but its coming error...
sql = conn.prepareStatement("select max(pay_header.vou_no) from pay_header,pay_detail where pay_header.vou_no=pay_detail.vou_no and pay_header.vou_no like 'BP%' ");

Want to send selected nodes after transformation

Hi,
I am doing transformation and due to which all the nodes are taken in output even empty/null nodes too. I wan that only selected nodes will be in the output payload after transformation for e.g only mandatory and not null optional fields will be send. How can this be possible?
-vivek

How do you know what fields are "selected". Are you going to check them on payload to see if they're not null, and ifso, you assign them to the target? Or some other construction.
Eitherway, i think can use the "test" condition in xsl to see what fields to map and what fields to skip. Or if you don't use xsl but just the assigns you need to some switch construnction in bpel to design what fields to map.

Editing xsl:variable node

I want to write a java class that edits the value of the playerNumber variable in player.xsl. I wrote the java class below but the line with XPathQuery.selectSingleNode returns null. I thought my query would work but now I think maybe the problem is that I'm not specifying a namespace in my query. Anyone have any helpful hints? Thanks in advance.

          Node n = XPathAPI.selectSingleNode(docElement, xpathQuery); // this node returns null
          if (n == null) {
               System.out.println("n is null");
          } else {

Witht the XPathAPI a namespace node is required in the selectSingleNode method for a node with a namespace prefix.
Parse with the JDOM XPath class which has a addNamespace method to add namespace for XPath expressions.

How To: Sort Numbers in Ascending Order in a Generated List

Greetings! How do I set up a Generated List of Paragraphs so that it sorts in true ascending order? What I want is:
1.1
1.2
1.3
1.4
1.5
1.6
1.7
1.8
1.9
1.10
I have tried every trick I can think of with the sort order listed on the reference page. But all I can get is something that sorts by individual number (ignoring the numeric value) like:
1.1
1.10
1.11
1.2
1.20
1.21
1.3
Any help is much appreciated!

Hello there, Michael! Thanks so much for looking at my post! Alas, the LOP will not work. I should have explained more, but it was so complicated I thought folks would give up reading.
Here's the best I can render it without getting permission to share a good example document. I do not blame anyone if it's too cumbersome or convoluted to wade through...
This is a requirements document which has sort of a "legal" tinge to it--as the document evolves we must maintain traceability for individual requirements. This means, for example:
Version 1 - I have requirements 1 and 2.
Version 2 - I need to add a new requirement, which should appear before requirement 1 in the document. Even though it comes before requirement 1 in the document, numerically it will be requirement 3 and requirement 1 will remain requirement 1.
Version 3 - I need to remove requirement 2. Even though I now have only 2 requirements, their numbers will not change (they remain requirements 1 and 3, appearing in reverse order).
Version 4 - I need to move requirement 3 to be after requirement 1. Again, the requirements keep their original number, even though their position has changed and there is no longer a "requirement 2" number in use.
Originally, I told the team (I'm doing this for a different dept), that they would have to hand-number requirements, which they did for a while. But that was getting very cumbersome, and the scenarios above are limited to one or two occurrences per document. So I created an auto-number sequence for them to use in the initial version and added a little smoke-and-mirrors work process to take care of changes in later versions. The last bit of chicanery I cannot get to work is the index...
Even if there are no changes to the requirements after the initial version, the index still does not sort in ascending numeric order. It was working with the hand-numbered requirements because they were using leading zeros. But without being able to include leading zeros in the auto-numbering formats (I tried the "use a zero as a tab leader" solution and like to have thrown my new monitor out of the window), I cannot find a solution.
Or rather, I think the solution is "you have to hand-number requirements".
For anyone who has made it this far, I truly appreciate your time and patience!

How to get the selected node value of a tree which is build on java code

Hi Experts,
How can i get the selected node value if I build the tree programatically.
I am using the following code in selectionListener but it is throwing error.
RichTreeTable treeTable = (RichTreeTable)getQaReasontreeTable();
CollectionModel _tableModel =
(CollectionModel)treeTable.getValue();
RowKeySet _selectedRowData = treeTable.getSelectedRowKeys();
Iterator rksIterator = _selectedRowData.iterator();
String selectedQaCode ="";
while (rksIterator.hasNext()) {
List key = (List)rksIterator.next();
JUCtrlHierBinding treeTableBinding =
(JUCtrlHierBinding)((CollectionModel)treeTable.getValue()).getWrappedData();
JUCtrlHierNodeBinding nodeBinding =
treeTableBinding.findNodeByKeyPath(key);
String nodeStuctureDefname =
nodeBinding.getHierTypeBinding().getStructureDefName();
selectedQaCode = selectedQaCode + nodeBinding.getAttribute(0);
where I am using following link to create a tree with java code.
http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.com/2007/05/back-to-programming-programmatic-adf.html
Please help me in resolving this issue.

Hi,
you should also move
JUCtrlHierBinding treeTableBinding =
(JUCtrlHierBinding)((CollectionModel)treeTable.getValue()).getWrappedData();
out of the while loop as this is not necessary to be repeated for each key in the set
