Connection to the external xml file

How to use an external xml file as a data source for my LiveCycle form?

I have a xml file on my server which is updated daily by a script. My LiveCycle form is on the server and can be pushed to the client by the click of a button on a web page or similar. Is it possible to have the LiveCycle form refresh its data before being sent to the client, or every day?

I thought that the burden of form, a JavaScript function could check if the form is on the server, or check if the xml file is there, and if this is the case, update itself, else do nothing.

I prefer to keep the xml file and the distinct shape that other applications and do scripts use xml file.

Thank you.

(1) if the form is used internally on the same network (ie: the xml file is still available over the network to your th) form questionable local files, but it requires advanced script.

I did it with network drives shared tho. -If you do, I use the two solution

(2) assuming you are using LC Reader Extensions as well as the form is "all over", not always on the network starting.

-Expose the XML file through a Web service (if it is not sensitive data)

-Get the form to query the Web service

(3) but if you have installed with LiveCycle Forms.

Use the readXML and how to bind the XML with the form.

  • XMLList to the external XML file

    Hi all

    I'm new to Flex, but I was impressed with it so far. I was able to create a simple, where things application like navigation trees and the data in the table were populated based on XML stored in tags mx:XMLList inside the main document. To clean things up, I thought that I would like to move the data in external XML files. I copied the data files and verified that the data has always been a single top-level node. Then, noted that mx:XMLList does not support the attribute 'source', so I converted to the use of mx:XML within the application mxml tags. Compiles the application now, but all of the XML hierarchy displayed in the form of a single node, instead of being analyzed in the tree nodes. No idea what I'm missing here? And thanks in advance for the noob easy going. ;-)

    -Josh

    Yet once, answered myself for posterity.

    For the tree data, the top node is implied, so I just had to change the dataProvider to {deviceTree.node}. For the data in the table, it was a little more difficult, where rather to link using a tag, I rather linked to it as a and then created a where the source is specified as the {[id XML]. [node]}. (once again the top node was already implicit)

  • Change the value in the external xml file

    Hello

    I searched around for a while and have not been able to find the solution to what I think should be a simple problem.

    I have an xml file I need to change the value from False to True.

    The structure of the file is:

    < data >

    System < pages >

    < id > 1 < /ID >

    < other fields > < / other areas >

    < dynamic metadata >

    < name > publish < / name >

    Yes < name > < / name >

    < / dynamic metadata >

    < dynamic metadata >

    FrontPage < name > < / name >

    < name > no < / name >

    < / dynamic metadata >

    < / system-page >

    <! - tons more system pages - >

    < / data >

    I am able to read the file and get to the exact line as such:

    <cffile action="read" file="E:\test.xml" variable="newsFile" charset="utf-8"/>
    <cfset newsXML=XmlParse(newsFile)/>
    <cfset arrItemNodes = XmlSearch(newsFile,"/data/system-page[@id='1']/dynamic-metadata[name='frontpage']/value")/>   
    

    I don't know how to edit and save the value. I Imaging it is something like this:

    <cfset arrItemNodes[1].xmlText = 'True'>
    


    But is there anyway to record this information in the xml file in the right place?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Haha. Well, if you need to do in the future, now you know how ;-)

  • Fill the tree with complex external XML file control

    Hi all. I've been combing through forums for two days and have not been able to find a solution to my problem. I'm trying to populate a control of the tree with an external xml file, but the xml file is not a simple. It is complex, and I don't know how to get the tree to display these data. I have attached the code. Can someone take a look and let me know how I could get this to work? Thank you!

    What does not work?

    Complexity of the XML is not, in itself, an issue for the tree.

    Also, I recommend using straight XML, unless specifically, you need Collection features.

  • load at startup in the web.xml file

    Hello

    I know not to load at startup in servlet
    When this servlet is called, it is called automatically, or to call

    Give me an example

    tag may appear inside the tag in web.xml and tells the container of web on this particular servlet loading. If load at startup is not specified then container load a particular servlet when he feels necessary is more likely when the first request for this servlet. According to the specifications of Java enterprise the following rules apply:

    1. to load at startup value > 0, servlet with least number will be loaded first when the web application is deployed or when the server starts. Servlets with a higher number of load-on-startup after loaded as servlets with a smaller number have been loaded.
    2. If the value of is the same for two servlets, then they will be loaded in the order in which they are declared within the web.xml file.
    3. If is 0 or negative, or there is no evidence for any servlet then this servlet will be responsible when the container considers necessary to load it.

    suitable for the servlet that performs tedious work. for example, to create a pool of database connections, prepare a few application environment etc. In web applications based ATG have usually entered us for NucleusServlet to load at startup as 1 that's why NucleusServlet is loaded on startup of the server resulting in the ATG to start services.

  • Write in an external xml file

    OK, so ive been reading on xml and found theres this big thing appeal. appendChild(). that let your add a node to an xml file.

    Here's the catch, I can write in an external xml file, without the need to load it, DIRECTLY through flex?

    or I have to use some php i.e. backend


    Thanks heaps!

    ojk007

    The Flash Player, when it is hosted by a browser, severely limits access to the resources of the host computer. In other words, you cannot read and write files. If the XML file resides on the server, then you can use the code server-side (e.g. PHP) and edit the file, or you can load the XML file into your Flex application on the client computer, change it, then refer to something that can write the file.

  • Problem with loading multiple external xml files

    I have a table named 'source', which consists of names of files external xml, the content of which I'm loading in another table called 'content '. I tried with the following text:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    for (i = 0; i < source.length; i ++) {}
    XML_URL = "' http://localhost/temp/ ' + source ;"
    myXMLURL = new URLRequest (XML_URL);
    myLoader = new URLLoader (myXMLURL);
    myLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
    }

    function xmlLoaded(evt:Event):void {}
    Content.push (myLoader.Data);
    }
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The problem is that in this way, I get that content of the last xml file and other items ' content ' are 'undefined '. Anyone know the solution to this problem or maybe another way to do this?

    Thanks in advance

    I tested the following with two xml files in the same folder (I would try the same thing) and put their names in the table source. Create two dummy xml for the test files.
    Here is my exact code (I've changed, I have one because it's italicized here in the forums):

    var content: Array = new Array();
    var source: Array = new Array ("media1.xml", "media2.xml");
    for (var a source) {}
    var XML_URL = ' "+ source [a];
    var myXMLURL = new URLRequest (XML_URL);
    var myLoader = new URLLoader ();
    myLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
    myLoader.load (myXMLURL);
    }

    function xmlLoaded(evt:Event):void {}
    Content.push (evt. Target.Data);
    if(Content.Length ==source.) Length)
    TR();
    }

    function tr() {}

  • External XML file of a chart

    I'm new to Flex, but using samples and documentation, I was able to create a simple chart that uses an external xml file for the data source is.

    I'm not sure how to get to the next step, i.e.:
    Having the table listening to all the changes in the xml file and update running.

    Can someone point me samples or documents that can help out me?

    Thank you

    source = 'path' is a * compile time * operation, so the XML is in fact embedded in the swf file.

    Loading the runtime, then use HTTPService.

    In addition, do not use mx: Model and if you are using HTTPService, be sure to set resultFormat = "e4x".

    Search the archives if you want to know why and read more details and examples.

    It simply means that the XML has a problem inside. Try opening the XML in a browser like IE or Firefox, it will tell you where there are errors.

  • I created a new library of more new playlists but cannot find the Library.xml file

    Hello

    I'm going to re - build my iTunes files from scratch, a kind of decennial event 'spring clean '. I have created a new library by using the command, click on application startup, and then began to rebuild new reading lists in the application. I can see the folder newly created the library that contains the new "iTunes Library.itl" file BUT I don't see that the iTunes Music Library.xml file. " There certainly must be one to save the data of the playlist, and probably "Get Info" should reflect today date' today... I don't see older versions.

    Although everything seems to work perfectly I don't want to have to re - visit the construction of Playlists from scratch for the next ten years! Can anyone suggest what happened to the .xml file?

    Thanks and greetings

    You can create an .xml on iTunes/file/library/Export library file and gives you the opportunity to put the Library.xml file in your iTunes Media folder - or anywhere you like.

    If you need to rebuild your playlists, you can go to iTunes, file, library, import playlist and select the .xml file.

    Normally, you do not see the .xml file in your iTunes folder.

  • "The document is not valid. The index.xml file is missing.

    I suddenly can't open one of my docs of numbers. I get a msg "'name of the doc' document is not valid. The index.xml file is missing.  I literally had the open document this morning without problem, closed, tried to reopen and now I get this msg... all in the same session of the computer. It began not after an update or anything like that, right in the middle of a session of the computer.  You seem to affect all the docs of numbers.  I can't open an any of them now.  I am running OS X El Capitan Version 10.11 and numbers 09, Version 2.1.

    Hi jg,.

    The case usual this message, it is that the document has been opened in numbers version 3.xx, which converts it into a new file version that uses the file index.xml internal requested by Numbers ' 09.

    You have 3 numbers installed on your machine? This file has already been opened in this application?

    The file was saved to iCloud or opened by the iOS version numbers or numbers for iCloud?

    Recommended 'cure' is to open the file using the 3 numbers, then save as... or export to format Numbers ' 09. As a result, remember numbers to quit smoking (v3) - menu numbers > numbers to quit smoking; by clicking on the red light closed the file, but doesn't end numbers. So avoid open numbers files by double-clicking on the file itself.

    Instead, start Numbers ' 09 (v2.3) and open the file in the application.

    Kind regards

  • Error message: the index.xml file is missing.

    I am trying to open a 'Numbers' file, which is stored in Dropbox in the cloud.

    I know there are some discussions about this already on this support group but they all suggest to back up files in Time Machine. I use Dropbox for years with no problems, but today I tried to open a file of numbers in Dropbox and received the message: "the index.xml file is missing." I have 2 other computers and an iPhone 6 and the file opens on them perfectly so my problem is with a single computer.

    I tried pulling the file from Dropbox on the desktop of another computer and then send this file to me as an attachment. I opened this file on the computer sends me questions, drag the file on the desktop and when I tried to open the file, I got the same message.

    It's just strange that it will not be open on computers.

    Any advise?

    Thank you, Tony

    Hi Tony,.

    This is somethng that occurs when you try to open a file of 3 numbers to 2 digits ('09). Make sure that you leave 2 numbers and then try to open the file of numbers 3. That should do it.
