  oracle.forms.util.xmltools.XML2Forms

public class XML2Forms

extends java.lang.Object

Constructor Summary

XML2Forms(java.net.URL xmlIn)
Constructor - Takes the URL of the XML ready for parsing.

Method Summary

void	commandLine(java.lang.Boolean printTree) Lets the tool know that it's been invoked from the command line, it therefore outputs progress indicators to the System.out.
void	connectToDatabase(java.lang.String dbConnectString) Connects to a database with the given connection string.
JdapiModule	createModule() Parses the XML at the URL given to the Constructor and returns the module.
void	endElement(oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement element) This method is excuted by the parser after every XML element.
static void	main(java.lang.String[] args) Takes an XML filename or set of filenames to process.
void	parseXML() This method is excuted by the parser to start the parsing process.
void	startElement(oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement element) This method is excuted by the parser at the start of every XML element.

XML2Forms

public XML2Forms(java.net.URL xmlIn)

Constructor - Takes the URL of the XML ready for parsing.

Parameters:

xmlIn - the URL of the XML

Method Detail

commandLine

public void commandLine(java.lang.Boolean printTree)

Lets the tool know that it's been invoked from the command line, it therefore outputs progress indicators to the System.out. The method takes a boolean telling the tool whether or not to print out a tree of the forms objects as it creates them.

Parameters:

printTree - the tool prints an object tree if true.

connectToDatabase

public void connectToDatabase(java.lang.String dbConnectString)

Connects to a database with the given connection string. If you are using the tool manually (ie. not using the main method) you must connect to a database for the creation of any Record Groups in you module.

Parameters:

dbConnectString - user/pass@database

createModule

public JdapiModule createModule()
                         throws oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException,
                                oracle.xml.parser.schema.XSDException,
                                org.xml.sax.SAXException,
                                java.io.IOException

Parses the XML at the URL given to the Constructor and returns the module.

Returns:

JdapiModule

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the URL isn't valid.

org.xml.sax.SAXException - if the XML isn't valid.

java.io.UTFDataFormatException - if the XML isn't a valid format.

oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException - if the XML isn't valid.

oracle.xml.parser.schema.XSDException - if there was an error in the Schema Builder.

parseXML

public void parseXML()
              throws java.io.UTFDataFormatException,
                     oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException,
                     org.xml.sax.SAXException,
                     java.io.IOException,
                     oracle.xml.parser.schema.XSDException

This method is excuted by the parser to start the parsing process. Use createModule() to parse the XML and return the JdapiModule, not this method.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the URL isn't valid.

org.xml.sax.SAXException - if the XML isn't valid.

java.io.UTFDataFormatException - if the XML isn't a valid format.

oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException - if the XML isn't valid.

oracle.xml.parser.schema.XSDException - if there was an error in the Schema Builder.

startElement

public void startElement(oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement element)

This method is excuted by the parser at the start of every XML element.

endElement

public void endElement(oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement element)

This method is excuted by the parser after every XML element.

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

Takes an XML filename or set of filenames to process. Each file is parsed and converted into its appropriate Forms Module (.fmb, .olb or .mmb).

Parameters:

args - command line arguments
