AGENDA -: Basic course required for SOA 1) XML 2) XPath 3) Xsd 4)WSDL Xml: it is a basic transportation or communication medium through which we transport data & structure the data. Note: [ xml files are saved as .xml] XPath: It is a technology for traversing xml documents & provide specific value or collection of values. Xsd: It is a schema definition file which define structure for xml document. WSDL: The Web Services Description Language is an xml-based interface description language that is used for describing the functionality offered by a web service. A WSDL description of a web service (also referred to as a WSDL file) provides a machine-readable description of how the service can be called, what parameters it expects, and what data structures it returns. It thus serves a purpose that corresponds roughly to that of a method signature in a programming language. Step wise introduction to xml simple xml element complex xml element xml namespace xml prefix
Creating xml document in XMLQUIRE Editor:Step 1: Open xml editor , it look like as shown below :
Here <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> indicted in red box known as "Xml processing instruction" it means that we are using xml of version "1.0" & encoding used here "utf-8" is for linux . Note : encoding for windows is "windows-1525" We are using xmlquire because it has inbuilt Xpath which is useful for traversing the xml expressions .
Step2: Save your xml file on clicking icon on editor & then start writing xml expressions. After saving xml file you can easily see it at the left pane of editor, I have indicated it with red box for better understanding. Now after saving file start writing xml expressions as shown below in figure:
In xml there is root element which is the root of all element here Book is root element www.bispsolutions.com Page 3 www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com
Every element is of start type & end type example <Book></Book>. Here name, author, price all are simple elements of xml since they contains no other elements between their start type & end type . Book , Publisher & Address are complex element because they contains one or more than one simple element. xmlns:b="http://www.oracle.com/schema/Book" it is known as xml name space ,it is used here as Book attribute & used for unique identification of elements by the parser (run time engine which is reading xml & traverse xml , BPEL does the job of parsing) across application or application server.
Step 3: in this step observe indicated lines shown in figure below : 1st & 2nd black lines indicates two different name spaces one for Book & other for Address 3rd & 4th green lines represents "prefixes" . Prefix is shortcut for xml name space & xml name space is used for unique identity so every element must have namespace & so structure transforms into bulky so instead using it repeatedly you can use prefix for ease & denoted here in figure as a & b .
Step 4: In this step we have made few changes as discussed below:
we have added a new complex element "List_of_Books " & namespaces as its attribute & assign Book with prefix b.
make both the name
Take new root element which contains whole structure here taken "Book_liab" as root element Note: root element does not have prefix because name space is used one step below root element.
Step 5: Click on front of editor
icon in editor & another window of X Path will appear in
Now objective is to check that whatever document we have written in xml is providing right value or not . So some points are useful to get value through X Path these are : 1st green line indicated that start your query with forward slash ( /) & then write root element as shown in figure 2nd green line indicates b:List_Of_Books because it is just below the root element 3rd line represents to need. Axes , Functions, Operations & expressions to carry out query according
Step 6: To find out author write full path of author on search box & hit on find button
shown extreme left corner in X path window or click on options displaying in left pane . Now red box indicating 1. Name as autor 2. Type as Element 3. Value as jahangeer
Step 7: similarly we can find value of street by writing path in search box. Note: forward slash means go one step down .
Remember: to search street value we have to start with root element. such as Book_liab-->List_of_Books-->Books-->publisher-->Address-->street In XPath it is /Book_liab/b:List_Of_Books/b:Book/b:publisher/a:Address/a:street
Step 8: In this step category & subcategory is also added as attributes shown below :
Step 9: In this step we find value of attribute category when executed in XPath
value as "software". Note : attribute like category & subcategory are executed with forward slash preceded with @ symbol. Step 10: By using concat( ) function from strings which is shown in figure in result box : 1. Name as String 2. Value as jahangeerRS500 3. Type as value icon we can join two
Step 11: Here one more book is added inside List_Of_Books & so total number of books we find by using another function count( ) .
Step 12: Use count() function in Xpath search box & get result as :
1. Name as Number 2. Value as 2 3. Type as Value & now successfully got number of books we have in List_of_Books .
Note: If we want to get value after full execution of xml we can use // in Xpath search before root element.
