hi,
What exactly do u mean by render XML ? Do u want to parse the XML and display the contents onto the browser ? If so, u can use the xerces parser which is an open-source from IBM-Apache. You can get it at http://xml.apache.org. Get the JAR - xerces.jar.
Rgds,

In case I want to create a xml schema to map with file directory tree structure, I tried the following schema:
<xs:element name="Manifest">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="Manifest" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
<xs:element ref="Directory" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
<xs:element ref="File" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="Directory">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="Directory" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
<xs:element ref="File" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="File">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
However, this schema will not allow me to generate a dataset in .NET because I use "file" and "directory" node recursively. I'd like to know how to solve this problem so that I can get a dataset out of it. Thanks in advance.

I need to POST XML data (via an ASP application) to an entity who has provided me a spec that seems a bit incomplete and their tech support is of no help. The spec says (to summarize) that "the user system (my app) will transmit the XML data through an HTTPS URI using a digital certificate".
Is it evident whether the application will use a server or a client certificate? Since my server is POSTing data to their server I would assume that I need a client certificate. However, I'm being told that I need a server certificate. If that's the case, how do I forward my server certificate to the URI I'm POSTing to.
Am I insane or incredibly naive? Can you even tell from the little information I've (been) given? Any additional links or resources would be appreciated. I've dug up very little info on Server to Server XML/SSL stuff.

Welcome
I have XML file:
<br />
<doc><br />
<field><br />
<name> myName</name><br />
<value> some value</value><br />
</field><br />
<field><br />
<name> otherName</name><br />
<value> other value</value><br />
</field><br />
</doc><br />
I have created XSL file:
<br />
<xsl:template match="/"><br />
<!-- transform fields --><br />
<xsl:for-each select="field"><br />
<xsl:choose><br />
<!-- i want get data from myName field --><br />
<xsl:when test="cd[name='myName']"><br />
<xsl:value-of select="value"/> <xsl:when><br />
<xsl:choose> <br />
</xsl:for-each><br />
</xsl:template><br />
unfortunately it doesn't create output file as:
some value
What is wrong?
|
|
|
|
|
Change the select attribute of the <xsl:for-each> element to either "doc/field" or "//field". <field> is not the root element; it's a child element.
Change the test attribute of the <xsl:when> element to contain the value "name=' myName'".

|
thx
(there was no space in oryginal
but correct version of test shoud look like
<br />
xsl:when test="name='myName'"<br />

I've seen this issue noted a few other places on the web, but so far no good solutions have been found.
I have an XSL file I'm using to transform some XML. This XSL file has existed for a long time now and has always worked on version of IE <= 5.5. Some of our clients are now moving to an IE6 environment and I've found that the new version of the XML parser included with IE6 messes up when performing the transform.
Specifically, when the transform attempts to output a textarea block, with code similar to this:
<DIV>
<TEXTAREA size="40," style="width:100%">
<xsl:attribute name="FIELD_TYPE">s</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="DATA_TYPE">T</xsl:attribute>
</TEXTAREA>
</DIV>
The closing textarea tag is never output to the HTML when using the XML parser included with IE6. In IE <= 5.5 however this works just fine.
Has anybody else experienced similar problems, or have a suggestion for a solution? It would be appreciated! Thanks!

I think you can fix this by putting <xsl:text> </xsl:text> at the end of the attributes.
This should force it to insert a space into the text area, which in turn will split the <textarea/> shortcut into <textarea> </textarea>. The only problem is that the text box will have a space in it already for the user.
There may be another way to do this, I've never run into the problem myself.

Shouldnt you be using xsl:element to do this? xsl:element
Don't have time to test it but I assume something like this:
<xsl:element name="textarea">
<xsl:attribute name="FIELD_TYPE">s</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="DATA_TYPE">T</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>

Hello all, I am having a bit of a problem with databases. Right now I have an application that stores data into an access database. But when the database goes over 2 gigs the application crashes out and it starts over writting the header file. Please give me some suggestions with using other database collectors, that would be a great help. Thanks

Hi,
I'm currently using the XML DOM from VC++ in order to load / manipulate / save XML files. I like to format my XML files nicely with tabular indents and so on, in order to form a readble document. However, the parts of the document modified from within VC are just written in "one-huge-line"-style. No nice linebreaks and tab indents... How do I do that ? The IXMLDOMNodePtr->xml property hasn't got a put method, so I can't manually append a linebreak directly. Any ideas folks ?
Thanks a lot in advance ;o)
Best regards
/Jan

yeah - well.. sort of. Thats "my" thread as well - as you've probably seen.
However, I can't find anything in the helping link about how to format the XML file - not the data output. Or I'm just missing something important here ;o)
Anyway, could you be a bit more specific about how I fix it ? the problem is that
<sometag>
<child1>
<subitem1>hello</subitem1>
<subitem2>world</subitem2>
</child1>
<child2>
<subitem1>hello</subitem1>
<subitem2>xml</subitem2>
</child2>
</sometag>
after updating child 2 data is turned into
<sometag>
<child1>
<subitem1>hello</subitem1>
<subitem2>world</subitem2>
</child1>
<child2><subitem1>hello</subitem1><subitem2>xml</subitem2></child2>
</sometag>
- which is pretty annoying. And I just can't find any way of telling the XML document object/nodes how to physically dump the data.
Maybe that was more clear - or maybe I've just misunderstood the entire concept. Who knows ?

There is a 'whitespace' element in the DOM, I've never used it since it costs performance to use.
see http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/12/05/whitespace.html

Allright, I may be completely off track here - but the link you refer to deals with the problems of showing the data from the XML file using a stylesheet, and getting line breaks in the resulting "view".
What I want, is linebreaks in my XML file. When I generate this data structure :
<parent>
<child>
<data1>bla</data1>
<data2>bla</data2>
</child>
</parent>
from VC++, the _file_ looks like this :
<parent><child><data1>bla</data1><data2>bla</data2></child></parent>
- which, of course, is correct - but not what I want.
What do you think ? completely off track and unable to understand the link you gave me ;o) ?
Thanks anyway.

there is property of xmlwriter than creates/preserves space.
personally I allways turn it off.
|
|
|
|

whoops, yea, posted wrong link! My bad.
You definately are looking for the whitespace setting. I cant find the link I was going to give you now, though.

The problem you are facing is true if you read the xml in a text editor. But any xml editor should automatically reorganize the display of your data in the "neat" way. I am assuming this is your objective. Unless you wish to read it in a simple text editor and yet have it formatted. In which case.... hmmmm... too much effort, when there are so manty xml editors and tools available. Including IE which will display your XML in the "neat" way.

I want to use XML to transport some data across HTTP protocol. When text in some element contains US ASCI characters then all is OK. But when some language- specific characters appear i get error.
I want to encode contents of some elements (these that contain these unfortunate characters) to BASE.64.
when I do the following, I get error.
_variant_t var_val=GetSomeText_WithStrangeChars()
..check errorcodes...
pNewNodeOut->put_dataType(L"bin.base64");
..check errorcodes... //ok it works so far
pNewNodeOut->put_nodeTypedValue(var_val); //HERE CRASH
//It is here where HRESULT is E_FAIL
The first question is: What to do to avoid error, and
to sucessfully put value of _variant_t (containing BSTR)
into element whose type is set to bin.base64 ?
The last question is:
Shall I be able to automatically get the value of the
element without explicit converting it from BASE.64 ?
I mean : Shall MSXML parser do the conversion automatically for me when I will call nodeTypedValue property ?
Thanks

I am doing the folowing operations:
1. Export some tables (that have unique IDs and foreign keys) to an XML file using a DataSet object in .NET. This works file.
2. I want to be able to import that XML file into another SQLServer server that has the same database architecture, but of course, different data.
3. When reading the XML file into a Dataset and then updating the database, some key violations or duplicate records may occur because I exported some unique IDs from one databse server and am trying to import them into another server. Thus, when importing a master table, I must read the XML file and give the corresponding records new IDs accordingly. Since my master table will have several slave tables with foreign keys involved I would have to udpate the slave tables also to maintain the integrity.
I could do all that manually by having lots of structures and maps and hash tables. Is there a change .NET Dataset would take care of everything automatically for me?
Thanks.

Hello guys,
I am about to self-teach myself some XML stuff. Till now, what I have seen in the MSDN mixed me up a little bit.
It seems that to do anything interesting with MS Explorer and XML, you will have to use a lot scripting.
I am not very interested in scripting (even though I know how to script in vbscript and jscript).
Is scripting always necessary to use when using XML in IE? Or could a good combination of XML and HTML do the trick?
Jeremy.

no
Xml has its own transform language, XSL, which can be used to do very interesting things. It can transform XML in one format to another format (for example <player name="tom"/> to <player>tom</player>)
You can also use this to output HTML, raw text, CSS, ASP scripts, source code, and more. For example, I have an XSL file i built which transforms Winamp 3 playlists to M3U playlists very quickly. I have another which presents the playlist as an HTML page for viewing.
If another media player used XML for playlists but had a totally different node structure, I could port my playlist from Winamp to that program by simply writing a quick XSL doc.
Or if i wanted to write a program in C++ with all my music files as constant strings (for performance  ), I could write an XSL doc to quickly transform it into a compilable .CPP file.
There is a lot more, but thats a good start loc.

Christopher,
I'm looking to do a conversion from Windows Media playlists (.asx, etc.), which is in an xml format, to Winamp .pls for use in the Turtle Beach AudioTron file player I just bought (extremely cool gizmo, by the way).
I haven't done anything with xml/xsl yet, but your description of the xsl transform language sounds perfect. Could you point me to some documentation on this feature? I'm not looking to really learn xml in full just yet, I merely have a single problem I need to solve as simply & quickly as I can make it.
Thanks!
