XSLT document function issue

I have XSL transformation using document() function to combine xml docs, using Oracle 10.2.0.2.
<xsl:for-each select="document('/export/home/myunixdirectory/Products.xml')/PRODUCTS">
When I run DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.processXSL(proc, ss, document_in); I get error
==============
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
==============
Products.xml is valid, tried it with no unix directory specified, etc., no luck. Also have commented out section related to document function and code works, so it is related to this document processing in the Oracle XSL processor. The transformation works in XMLSPY (pointing to files on local drive).
Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Here's more info in case anyone wants take a crack at guessing what's wrong. I've tried a bunch of different methods for document() function, at this point I am nearly convinced it is not supported by the Oracle XSL processor.
Products.xml...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PRODUCTS>
     <PRODUCT>
          <BRAND_CODE>11111</BRAND_CODE>
          <BRAND_NAME>SOMETHING HERE</BRAND_NAME>
          <GRADE>P</GRADE>
     </PRODUCT>
</PRODUCTS>
XSL file (simplified)…in same directory as Products.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
     <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
     <xsl:variable name="geterrorwhenrun" select="document('Products.xml')"/>

               <xsl:attribute name="xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation">any.xsd</xsl:attribute>
          </REGION>
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Error I get...

Looking for example - abap xslt - that uses xslt document() function

Hello,
I'm looking for an example that shows the use of abap xslt with the xslt document() function. Using the xslt document() function seems like a straightforward way to use xslt to create a result xml document by processing the content of two or more
source documents. For example, if source document A.xml and aux.xml are available in memory as xstringand using stylesheet ztransformwhat would be the argument for the document() function to associate aux.xml. Thanks for any insight.

Hi,
Sorry, perhaps I should have been clearer! The function that I picked just to test what you need to do just happened to return a string that contains SPAN tags with style attributes. The actual function code is:
create or replace FUNCTION out_string_fn
   RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
   CURSOR emp_cur
   IS
      SELECT ename
        FROM emp;
   v_string   VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
   v_string := ' ';
   FOR c IN emp_cur
   LOOP
      v_string :=
            v_string
         || '<SPAN style="font-weight:bold;color:green">'
         || c.ename
         || '</SPAN>'
         || ', </br></br>';
   END LOOP;
   RETURN v_string;
END;And this returned a naff list in green (see [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=55041:57] and click the Test button) - but it does show that you can style the validation error messages

XSLT document() function in PL/SQL XDK

I'm using the PL/SQL XDK (9.2.0.2.0) to do XSLT transformations but having
no success using the XSLT document() function.
I just get the error
ORA-20100: Error occurred while processing: XSL-1021: (Error) Error parsing
external document: 'wrongmachine.mycompany.com'.
Can the document function access an external xml file using http from pl/sql?
eg. http://amachine.mycompany.com/xmldocs/myxml.xml
I've tried setting the ref parameter of the newStylesheet function, assuming
this sets up the base uri for the stylesheet
xslss := xslProcessor.newStylesheet
(xmldoc => xsl_doc,
ref => 'http://amachine.mycompany.com/xmldocs');
I've also used the setBaseDir on both the DOMDocument and the stylesheet
xmlparser.setBaseDir(p => xsl_parser,
dir => 'http://amachine.mycompany.com/xmldocs');
I've tested the XSL stylesheet in Saxon and it works fine.
Other XSL transformations also work fine using the Oracle XDK but none that use
document()
'wrongmachine.mycompany.com' is not even the machine the code is executing on!?
Is this set up in an installation script?
Any ideas/examples on how document() can be used in the pl/sql XDK?
Thanks
John Holder

BTW: following this link
xsl:include within XSL stylesheet stored in XMLType column
i've encountered that this theme has been asked but none from Oracle staff has answered on it yet ;(((((((

XSLT document function - bug?

I have an XSLT stylesheet which loads several XML documents, by using the XSLT document() function.
The XSLT document() function works fine using Saxon processor and Firefox. Also it works fine in Safari 3 when the XSLT stylesheet is processed as a stylesheet referenced from an XML-file.
But, when processing the XSLT stylesheet from Javascript, in Safari 3, using xsltProcessor.transformToDocument() the document() function does not load the files. It can be added, that I am running everything from the local harddrive.
Anyone has similar experience or some workaround?
There is a similar post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1559485&tstart=1 about Safari-Windows, but no resolution to the problem.

I have now made an example to demonstrate this bug. Firefox 3 will do the right thing, Safari 3 and 4 both have the same problem.

XSLT document() function not working properly

I have this XSLT:
<xsl:copy-of select="document($file1)/employee/address/*"/>
I have this java which is setting the parameter for $file1
transformer.setParameter("file1",file.getAbsolutePath());I printed out the value of $file1 in the XSLT style sheet using:
<xsl:message><xsl:value-of select="$file1"/></xsl:message>
The Path it prints out is the correct path, let say its c:\myfile\file1.xml
When it reaches the doument($file1) function, it seems that the path is getting changed.
To give you an example, if $file1 = "c:\myfile\file1.xml" and my XSLT file is located at c:\xsl\myXSl.xsl then the path that document() gets is:
c:\C:\xsl\myfile\file1.xml
This causes the following error to occur:
(The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
Why is document() inserting the path where the XSL file which it is in into the path of the file I'm trying to open? I am using the Xalan API to transform this XML.
Have anyone seen anything like this before?
Thanks
Al

When I looked up some Internet pages that described the document() function, they all said it required a URI as its parameter. A Windows file path is not a URI. However it's possible to get a URI from a File object, so you might want to try that.

Use DOM as an argument of XSLT document() function

I have in memory several DOM documents. I have not stored in file system the XML files that are represented by these DOMs. I want to process with a stylesheet
all of these DOMs (as DOMSource's) using document() function from the stylesheet. How can I refer to the secondary DOMs from document function if I haven't the files?
F.e.
<xsl:value-of select="document('file.xml')/.../..."/> file.xml only exists loaded in memory as DOM.
Can anybody help me?? Thanks

Thank you DrClap but I'm not sure about the use of URIResolver:
if my xslt:
<xsl:value-of select="document('file1.xml')\...\..."/>
<xsl:value-of select="document('file2.xml')\...\..."/>
I must define my own class that implements URIResolver and write my own resolve method, isn't it?
class Resuelve implements URIResolver{
     private Document doc1;
     private Document doc2;
     public Resuelve(Document doc1, Document doc2){
          this.doc1 = doc1;
          this.doc2 = doc2;
     public Source resolve(String href, String base){
          if(base.equalsIgnoreCase("file1.xml")){
               Source s1 = new DOMSource(doc1);
               return s1;
          else if(base.equalsIgnoreCase("file2.xml")){
               Source s2 = new DOMSource(doc2);
               return s2;
          else{
               return null;
I suppose that XSLT processor use automatically resolve method. I don't understand the href parameter...
Is this class correct? if not, can you show me an example please?
Thank you very much

XSLT document() function

I am using the Oracle XML parser, and I am finding that some funny things are happening when I try to use the document(object, node-set?) function, as defined in the XSLT specification. For some reason, my xmlns path is being prepended to any file path I use in the "object" argument, so I can't access any local files:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0"/>
<xsl:value-of select="document('local_file')"/>
... results in the following error message:
oracle.xml.parser.v2.XSLException: XSL-1021: Error parsing external document: 'http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/local_file';
Furthermore, if I try to use the "node-set" (2nd) argument, I get invalid expression errors.
Any suggestions?
Thanx, Kat.

Hi,
There could be a problem with the way the XSLStylesheet is being created. If you are using the command line version, it could be a
problem in the parser. If you are using programmatic construction of the XSLStylesheet, be careful that that the second argument 'URL ref' is used to get absolute paths from relative paths. Check what you are setting this second arg
to. Let us know if you experience additional problems.
Thanks,

Secondary XML source via document() function

Has anyone used the XSLT document function in an XSL-FO template where the file is an URL. We are trying to do this to get extra information for the PO output in an EBS installation without horrible customisations
eg
<xsl:text>Person : <xsl:value-of select="document('http://dbsdev11.uk.baa.com:8031/OA_HTML/test.xml')/xxpo:PO_DATA/xxpo:PERSON_ID"/></xsl:text>
where test.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xxpo:PO_DATA xmlns:xxpo="http://uk.baa.com/oracle/apps/po/info">
<xxpo:PERSON_ID>120</xxpo:PERSON_ID>
<xxpo:SERVER_PORT>8031</xxpo:SERVER_PORT>
</xxpo:PO_DATA>
and the URL http://dbsdev11.uk.baa.com:8031/OA_HTML/test.xml resolves quite happily when pasted into a browser.
But nothing comes back when previewing the template in EBS. PDF is produced but Person value is not populated.
Is the document function supported??
Rgds
James M

Hi Jame
Document() is supported but what you are trying to do with it is not, i.e.
document('http://dbsdev11.uk.baa.com:8031/OA_HTML/test.xml')/xxpo:PO_DATA/xxpo:PERSON_ID"/
will not work. You need to load the doc to a variable and then reference the PERSON_ID element.
Something like:
Variable Declaration
==================
<xsl:variable name="news" select="document('http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/topstories')"/>
Value
========================
<?$news/rss/channel/title?>

How to use xsl document() function with LiveCycle XSLT processor

Hello,
I would like to use LiveCycle XSLT processor to merge xml documents by using the xsl document() function.
However, I have not, yet, found clear reference information on the specifics of how to accomplish in LC. For instance if you have
a transformation that does merging using a standalone xml editor (such as Oxygen), than what is required to accomplish the same
using the LiveCycle XSLT service. How do you specify the URI of the XML document that is specified as an input in the xsl document() function. Your insight is appreciated. Regards

Hello Steve,
I checked the reference that you cited (XSLT Transformation). The reference omits discussing how to use xlst document() function within a stylesheet. I think that probably means that feature of xslt technology is not directly available through LiveCycle. When I find a workaround, I'll post an update...for the user community that might encounter the same issue. Thank you for your response and insight. Regards, jb1809

Use document() function in xslt

Hi I want to use the xslt function document() to import a data file into the transformation.
However I don't seem to be able to import the xml file onto the osb. can this be done ?
Basically can you use the document() function?
I've tried googling and searching the docs but i think i'm missing something basic :-)
Thanks in advance

Not an answer to the particular point but i've got round the issue by adding a stage which inserts the data xml into the xml document being transformed.
I then supress the data injected from being copied to the output tree and use a variable which references the data nodes rather than a variable referencing
an external doc variable name="myvar" select="//injecteddatanode" /> rather than <variable name="myvar" select="document("path/doc.xml")
The question still stands though : how do you import an xml doc which can then be used by the document function in a transform

Resolving url after document() function has been called by the xslt

I am having problems resolving a URI when document() function in my xslt is called. The xml document that is being called has a reference to a dtd that is in another location of the webserver. When document() is called it downloads the xml document then tries to download the referenced dtd from the same location. I get an error kinda like this.
file:///C:/dev.xsl; Line 15; Column 62; Can not load requested doc: File "http://dev.server.com/templatedata/lhj/story/data/dcr4.5.dtd" not found.
The DTD is in a different location on the server and that is why it can not find it. I have tried resolving the URL but have been unsucessfull. See my java solution that does not work. How can I fix this? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated
Java solution
try {
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
tFactory.setURIResolver(new XMLURIResolver());
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(xslFile));
File f = new File(xmlFile);
FileReader fr = new FileReader(f);
InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(fr);
transformer.transform(new SAXSource(inputSource),
new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream(outPutPath)));
Vince.

here is the resolver. The if in never excuted.
public class XMLURIResolver implements URIResolver{
public static final String DTD_HREF = "dcr4.5.dtd";
public Source resolve(String s, String s1) throws TransformerException{
System.out.println("s = "+ s);
System.out.println("s1 = " + s1);
InputStreamReader isr = null;
try{
if (s.indexOf(DTD_HREF) != -1){
System.out.println("Fetching DTD....");
URL url = new URL("http://mydomain/xml/validation/dcr4.5.dtd");
isr= new InputStreamReader(url.openStream());
return new SAXSource(new InputSource(isr));
}catch(MalformedURLException mue){
System.out.println(mue);
}catch(IOException ioe){
System.out.println(ioe);
return null;

Error with single quotes in open document function

Hi all,
I have an issue with the special characters using the open document function. I'm passing a name, and I'm using the URLEncode function, but it doesn't work for single quotes, it shows a javascript error. I tried with HTMLEncode and it works for single quotes, but not for the other special characters like @,+. I tried with both functions at the same time but it doesn't work either.
Please let me know if you know how to solve it.
Thanks,
Marcela

How can I get INSTID_B for the documents which are stored using Store Business Document functionality

Dear experts,
I had activated the functionality of Store Business document and successfully stored documents in external server.
My client have a custom function module which is used to send emails.In that FM they used SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1, SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 function modules.They passed Instance Ident(SRGBTBREL->INSTID_B)(eg: FOL33000000000004EXT39000000000026) as export parameter to the FM 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1' and get the attachment details and content.
Here my problem is I do not have entries in the table SRGBTBREL for the documents which are stored using the Store Business Document functionality and without INSTID_B I am unable to use the FM 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1' to get the document details and content. Please help me to find INSTID_B for documents which are stored using Store Business Document functionality or please let me know if there is any other way to use FM 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1' for documents which are stored using Store Business Document.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
You can use the following method to get the information. For example if you want to get BO documents for a customer
CALL METHOD cl_binary_relation=>read_links
   EXPORTING
     is_object           = ls_lpor
     it_relation_options = lt_relat
   IMPORTING
     et_links            = lt_links.
then fill ls_por-instid with a customer number (KUNNR), ls_por-typeid = 'KNA1' and ls_por-catid = 'BO'.
Table lt_relat should contain a line option for each document type (for example 'I' 'EQ' 'NOTE', 'I' EQ 'ATTA', 'I' EQ 'URL', ...
In table lt_links you will get your information.
Maybe some other methods of class CL_BINARY_RELATION may also solve your issue.
Regards,
Klaus

Printed Document function not working

I have a user who is trying to use the Printed Document
function of RoboHelp to convert html files into one continuous
document, put together in a book form, complete with a table of
contents. The process errors out giving her error messages like
--> "Warning: The Word Document became corrupt when attempting
to append a malformed topic: (then it lists an htm file here)". Can
anyone tell me what could be causing this error or if something
might be missing from the installation?
Thank you!

Welcome to the forum
You'll like this. A number of possibilities.
See Printed Documentation Issues on my site for one
possibility.
The other is quite simply insufficient RAM. Yeah I know what
RH says on the box but Word has its own requirements. I have a
layout that gives this error on a 2gb ram machine but works quite
happily on 3gb.
A way of checking that it is RAM is to create two copies of
the print layout. Leave one alone. In number two trash half the
topics. In three trash the other half. If two and three then
generate OK, there is clearly no problem topic so by my
calculations it has to be RAM.
