XSLT Java Enahancement Mappping

Hi All
I would like to know the clear steps of implementing the mapping through "XSLT Java Enhancement", FYI i was working with Graphical mapping itself, but i want to implement through XSLT Java Enahancement mapping.
More Thankful, if any once can help me out.

XSLT & JAVA Mapping issue.

is there any situation,
where we should definately go for XSLT mapping..
where we should definately go for JAVA mapping..
can anyone brief me plz....
Cheers,
Raghavesh

No hard and fast rules.
There never can be specific rules.
1. Java Mapping should be used when the input is NON XML for sure. As the input is a InputSTream, you can convert it to a string and do the needful programmic logic etc.
2. XSL can be used with HTML source etc.

Calling Custom XSLT java class from BPEL in SOA Suite 11g

Hi All,
Morning...need some help with this issue...we are currently on SOA Suite 11g (11.1.1.4) version.
Earlier while we were on SOA Suite version 10g (10.1.3.3) we were calling the custom java classes from the xsl mapping for complex transformation and for this we were placing the .class file as .jar file at the location mentioned here $OC4J_HOME/j2ee/home/applib directory and then mentioning the namespace as http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/{$classname$} in the XSLT mapping file.
Now in SOA Suite 11g if we need to retain similar functionality for external custom java calls could someone please help us where do we need to put the .jar file now ..
exactly at which directory location/path and on which instance/server (application server instance or middle tier instance ) we need to put this .jar file
Currently we are stuck and need some help with this.
With thanks & Regards

Hi Eric & Anuj,
Thanks for replying , sorry for checking on this now...
here at this path /opt101/app/oracle/SOAD/SOA11gR1/fmw/Oracle_SOA1/soa/modules/oracle.soa.ext_11.1.1
we got the ora.soa.ext.jar file and extracted it to get the MANIFEST.mf file ..have mentioned below.
Now if we need to link our custom .jar file named customfunctions.jar so we need to mention it as below is this correct :
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1
Created-By: 17.0-b17 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Implementation-Vendor: Oracle
Implementation-Title: Oracle SOA EXT
Implementation-Version: 11.1.1
Product-Name: Oracle SOA EXT
Product-Version: 11.1.1.4.0
Specification-Version: 11.1.1
Extension-Name: oracle.soa.ext
Class-Path: classes/
Class-Path:customfunctions.jar classes/ -- is this the way to mention (means we need to add this additional line or we need to add to the existing line at Class-Path: classes/)
2.
Eric the Alternative method mentioned in your update :
Open a command prompt and change the current directory to the oracle.soa.ext_11.1.1 directory ,
then execute the build.xml file in the oracle.soa.ext_11.1.1 folder using Ant
Now could someone please guide us regards this ANT means how does it work and its relation to the build.xml file and how do we check whether we have ANT utility available or not..
not much conversant with this ANT hence asking here..would lookout for your reply
thank you

Enhance Standard Mappings(xslt/java)

As part of the SNC 7.0 components for PI. We get a bunch of standard content.
This includes standard operational mappings between ECC IDocs and SNC Proxy structures.
Our requirement involves enhancing the IDocs and proxy's with new fields and mapping the same in PI.
Is there anyway to do this without editing the standard mapping code(java or xslt)?
Thanks,
Harsh

Thanks all for your responses. As pointed out, the problem with copy or direct edit is that the SAP will no longer support the mapping code it provided. So I may add only two lines to the standard code, but what if the other 1000 lines have a bug?
I'm trying to figure out if there is an elegant way to add-on without modifying the code.
If not, then are there any recommended ways to go about editing the code? Any help on this would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Harsh
PS: Some of the standard mappings are in xslt and others in Java.

XSLT Vs Data Mapper.

Hi,
What will be the difference between Siebel Data Mapper and XSLT ? One of the difference that I have identified is that XSLT's can be used to convert one XML to other without the need to have an IO defined like in data mapper.
Apart from this I have failed to recognize any major difference.
Please share if any one of you have any other difference which can help decide when do we go for XSLT ?
Thanks :-)

Hello,
I found a workaround to the problem :-) you need to close JDeveloper and relaunch it. The linking of the two sides is then possible.

XSLT/JAVA Mapping for cXML DOCTYPE

Hello -
Was anyone successful in adding the header
<!DOCTYPE cXML SYSTEM "http://xml.cXML.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.014/cXML.dtd">
after the
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> when converting
using either XSL or JAVA?
If there's way let me know what kind of mapping was used and how?
Thanks,
Tirumal

Hi Tirumal,
you can solve that with xsl:output
one example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
 <xsl:output method="xml" doctype-system="http://xml.cXML.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.014/cXML.dtd"/>
 <xsl:template match="/">
 <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
 </xsl:template>

Mapping preferences between ABAP, JAVA, XSLT...?

Hi,
How do i choose between,
ABAP Mapping
Java Mapping
XSLT Mapping..?
Any pointers welcome..
--DJ

HI,
JAVA Mapping :If you have complex mapping in your scenarios and also some times if you have more than 100 field tomap then better to choose the JAVA MApping.
XSLT Mapping : Simple and if you have large size of messages then choose this type of XSLT mapping.
ABAP Mapping : If your scenario is deals with ABAP / R3 related transactions , then choose ABAP Mapping ..
Performance wise XSLT ,JAVA, ABAP order..

Graphical Mapping Vs XSLT mapping Vs Java Mapping Vs ABAP Mapping

Hi Experts,
I have a question regarding different message mapping options available in XI namely
Graphical Mapping
XSLT mapping
Java Mapping
ABAP Mapping
Q1: Which amoung the above mappings is the best and why?
Q2: On what cases Graphical, XSLT, Java and ABAP Mapping should be used?
Q3: Is it true that graphical and XSLT mappings are converted into Java class internally?
Kindly help!
Thanks
Gopal

Hi,
There is no hard and fast rule for using the mapping techniques.
Graphical Mapping is used for simple mapping cases. When, the logic for your mapping is simple and straight forward and it does not involve mult hiearchical mapping requirement. and context handling.
Java and XSLT mapping are used when graphical mapping cannot help you.
When the choice is between Java And XSLT, XSLT is simpler than java mapping and easier. But, it has its drawbacks. XSLT can lead to a bad perfrormance if the Source XML is huge.
Java Mapping uses 2 types of parsers. DOM and SAX. DOM is easier to use with lots of classes to help you create nodes and elements, but , DOM is very processor intensive.
SAX parser is something that parses your XML one after the other, and so is not processor intensive. But, it is not exaclty easy to develop either.
For further info on each of the mapping, refer to these links,

Am not sure about XSLT , but , yes graphical mapping is converted into java classes internally and these classes use SAX parsing as well.

XSLT MAPPING/JAVA MAPPING

Hi All,
After faceing so much of problem, i found that it would be better if i can go for an XSLT/java mapping:
1. It is adding an extra ns0 to header line & end line which i dont want to be generated in the output xml file.
2. Namespace problem that basically sticking to 60 but i want 72 characters in my target xml file.
3. No carriage return at the end of each line which is not geting generated through graphical mapping.
Now i have an XSD provided by the client. So how can i use that and which mapping should best suits to solve all these problem.
Should i go for a java mapping or an XSLT/JAVA mapping.
I dont have any idea on both of them, So can you people send me the details for it.
Many Thanks & Best Regards,
JGD.

Hi,
Based on the requirement and size we can choose the mapping.
If java is suitable to our requirement then we go for java.
If XSLT is suitable to our requirement then we go for XSLT.
Performance wise(high --> low) :
If data is less then
Graphical mapping -
> Java(sax parser)mapping -
> Java(dom parser)mapping -
> XSLT mapping -
> ABAP mapping.
If data is high then
XSLT mapping -
> Java(sax parser)mapping -
> Graphical mapping(internally it uses SAX)----> Java(dom parser)mapping -
> ABAP mapping.
If you choose XSLT then you can select Altova Map Force tool then no need to write the XSLT code here, it will automatically generates the code.

Xslt mapping can't get date from java

I am trying to get the current date/time from java in my xsl mapping. I can't seem to get it to work. This is the code I am using in my xsl file.
<IDField>
<xsl:template name="currentTime" xmlns:date="java:java.util.Date">
<xsl:value-of select="date:new()"/>
</xsl:template>
</IDField>
also tried
<xsl:value-of select="java:java.util.Date:new()"/>
I simply want to put the current date time in the IDField. What am I doing wrong? I am currently getting back a xslt mapping error. Here's the error....
Transformer configuration exception occurred when loading XSLT
I've tried a few different ways, but none have worked. What I'm looking for is the specific code that would display the date/time.
 - Emmett

I figured it out. The main problem was that I didn't have the following in this line....
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xslt/java" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" .....>
Once I included xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xslt/java" all the java functions were available. I also found the great date template. In case anyone wants to check it out here it is...
<xsl:template name="today"
 xmlns:cal="xalan://java.util.GregorianCalendar">
<xsl:variable name="rightNow" select="cal:getInstance()" />

<xsl:variable name="month" select="cal:get($rightNow, 2) + 1" />
<xsl:variable name="day" select="cal:get($rightNow, 5) " />
<xsl:variable name="year" select="cal:get($rightNow, 1)" />
<xsl:value-of
 select="$year" />-<xsl:value-of
 select="$month" />-<xsl:value-of
 select="$day" />
</xsl:template>
I found this template here...

XSLT or JAVA Mapping

How to choose between XSLT & JAVA Mapping.

HI
Usually Java mapping is preferred when the target structure is relatively complex and the transformation cannot be accomplished by simple graphical mapping.
When to use Java mapping
1) Java mapping are used when graphical mapping cannot help you.
Advantages of Java Mapping.
1)you can use Java APIs and Classes in it.
2) file look up or a DB lookup is possible
3) DOM is easier to use with lots of classes to help you create nodes and elements.
Java mapping can be used when you have complex mapping structures.

Advantages of using XSLT mapping
XSLT program itself defines its own target structure.
XSLT programs can be imported into SAP XI. Message mapping step can be avoided. One can directly go for interface mapping once message interfaces are created and mapping is imported.
XSLT can be used in combination with graphical mapping.
Multi-mapping is also possible using xslt.
XSLT can be used with ABAP and JAVA Extensions.
Disadvantages of using XSLT mapping
Resultant XML payload can not be viewed in SXMB_MONI if not in XML format (for service packs < SP14).
Interface mapping testing does not show proper error description. So errors in XSLT programs are difficult to trace in XI but can be easily identified outside XI using browser.
XSLT mapping requires more memory than mapping classes generated in Java.
It all depends upon the required Scenario and the requirement , which mapping has to be used.
cheers

Is it possible to call XSLT from Java Mapping Class?

Hi,
does someone have experience with this? Or any ideas?
And, if yes, how can be this XSLT called? Is it necessary to specify special path? Or it is the XSLT file placed in the same directory?
Thanx in advance, Peter
Message was edited by: Peter Jarsunek

Hi SUdhir,
Thanx 4 your answer. I have seen this link before, but there is only Java->Java or XSLT->Java calling.. I need Java->XSLT.. When I create Java mapping, I want to use stored XSLT stylesheet to convert the message. Because, my problem is,that my primary message contains characters which I want to be changed. For this reason I need java class - to replace the characters. And then I want to do transformation with the XSLT stylesheet. Can you post some example?
Thanx, Peter

Try this.
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:fn="com.my.utils" >

as long as your code is in the classpath it should find it.

Hi add this statement to your XSLT Mappping
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xslt/java" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" exclude-result-prefixes="java">
and use <xsl:template name="GetDateInLocal" xmlns:cal="xalan://java.util.GregorianCalendar"> in XSLT Mapping , write your logic.
