multiple tiles-def xml files - struts2

I'm using Struts 2.2.1 and tiles 2.1.4.
Wanted to know if there is a way to have multiple tiles-def xml files as my tiles-def xml file is becoming really big.

Not sure but i believe you need to pass param to Tiles listener in web.xml something like
<context-param id="struts_tiles">
<param-name>org.apache.tiles.impl.BasicTilesContainer.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/classes/file1.xml,/WEB-INF/classes/file2.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
Code above is not tested :)

Using MvxLang attribute in searchable.xml and menu.xml

I'm using the JSON localization plugin to add some string resource files to my xamarin.android project. Is there support for the MvxLang attribute in non-layout files such as searchable.xml and menu.xml files?
For example, I'd like to replace the below #string references with MvxLang attributes:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:label="#string/ApplicationName"
android:hint="#string/SearchHint"
android:searchButtonText="#string/SearchHint">
</searchable>
Thanks

No. There's no built-in support for either of these.
For menu items, I'm sure you could add tokens to them fairly easily and then replace those tokens with strings when you load/inflate these files. Or alternatively you could even construct the menus in code.
For searchable I think the problem may be more difficult - I'm not sure that Android gives you much access to the searchable file or data object - I think the system uses them at a package level. I suspect for those few searchable text strings, you may have to use the built-in Android i18n system.

bean-validation validation.xml ignored

I am using JSR 303 Bean validation in my JSF 2.0 web application and it works fine with annotations. Now I would like to ignore annotations and configure validation rules using the validation.xml file, so this is what I did (I am using an eclipse dynamic web project) :
Added validation.xml under WebContent/META-INF/validation.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<validation-config
xmlns="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configuration"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configuration validation-configuration-1.0.xsd"
>
<constraint-mapping>META-INF/validation/constraint-mapping.xml</constraint-mapping>
</validation-config>
Then created the file constraint-mapping.xml under WebContent/META-INF/validation/constraint-mapping.xml
<constraint-mappings xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/mapping validation-mapping-1.0.xsd"
xmlns="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/mapping">
<bean class="my.full.path.ValidationMB" ignore-annotations="true">
</bean>
</constraint-mappings>
Having these configurations in place, I suppose the annotations in my bean class ValidationMB shall be ignored, BUT this is not happening!, which makes me assume that the validation.xml file is not being loaded.
any ideas? thanks.
Environment:
Apache Tomcat 7.0.23
javax.faces-2.1.4.jar
hibernate-validator-4.2.0.Final.jar
hibernate-validator-annotation-processor-4.2.0.Final.jar
validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar
slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar
From the spec: section 4.4.6. XML Configuration: META-INF/validation.xml
Unless explicitly ignored by calling
Configuration.ignoreXMLConfiguration(), a Configuration takes into
account the configuration available in META-INF/validation.xml. This
configuration file is optional but can be used by applications to
refine some of the Bean Validation behavior. If more than one
META-INF/validation.xml file is found in the classpath, a
ValidationException is raised.
To solve my problem I had to create a META-INF folder under the project src folder, which ends in the WEB-INF/classes/META-INF.
The structure of the web application is:
ROOT
|_META-INF -- don't put validation.xml here
|_WEB-INF
|__ classes
|_META-INF
|__validation.xml
But I think that if I pack my web application in a jar file and reuse it in another project It may not work, I will let you know later once I do it.
Try to put your validation.xml directly into the WEB-INF/ directory.
I stumbled across this while looking for something else but wanted to clarify to the OP what is happening. You do in fact need the file to exist at META-INF/validation.xml; however, that is relative to the classpath which is why it worked when you put it under WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/validation.xml.
The cleaner approach is to let the file be put there for you. Your Eclipse project should already be outputting whatever is in your source directory to WEB-INF/classes somehow for you or nothing would be running. But sometimes there are filters on what it outputs so it might excluding something. You might want to check your src dirs and make sure they don't have exclusions.
Just as an example, if you had a Maven war project, all of your java sources would go in src/main/java and the generated classes would end up in the WEB-INF/classes directory. The equivalent happens for src/main/resources which contains non-source files. When I want *.xml, *.properties, etc. to end up in WEB-INF/classes I put them in src/main/resources. For your example I would have a src/main/resources/META-INF/validation.xml file.
Hope this helps anyone else who comes across this and is confused.

Combine JAXB and JAXWS for an imported XML Schema

How can I specify a JAXB Binding for an imported XSD within a WSDL when using wsimport?
I tried following binding, which causes the error "XPath evaluation of //xs:element[#name='isFoobar'] results in an empty target node".
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jaxws:bindings xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" wsdlLocation="example.wsdl"
xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc" xmlns:jaxws="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxws">
<jaxws:bindings node="wsdl:definitions">
<jaxws:bindings node="wsdl:types" xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb">
<jaxws:bindings
node="//xs:schema[#targetNamespace='http://www.example.org/']">
<jaxb:globalBindings>
<xjc:serializable uid="10000001" />
</jaxb:globalBindings>
<jaxb:bindings
node="//xs:element[#name='isFoobar']">
<jaxb:typesafeEnumClass name="IsFoobar">
<jaxb:typesafeEnumMember value="01" name="TRUE" />
<jaxb:typesafeEnumMember value="02" name="FALSE" />
</jaxb:typesafeEnumClass>
</jaxb:bindings>
</jaxws:bindings>
</jaxws:bindings>
</jaxws:bindings>
</jaxws:bindings>
Any ideas?
Sorry for the necro-threading, I encountered this problem and although this is one of the first answer that showed up on google with various key word combination it didn't hold the answer I ended up using.
For imported schemas, the easiest way to specify a JAXB binding on an imported XSD within a WSDL is... to treat it as a completely different schema !
Short example :
MyXSD.xsd
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="whatever"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:complexType name="ThingThatNeedsToBeBound">
<!-- Whatever this is made of -->
</xs:complexType>
</xsd:schema>
No matter where this xsd is imported (wether it's at the root of the of my wsdl or within a nested import), all I need to write to bind my "ThingThatNeedsToBeBound" in my custom binding is :
customBindings.xml
<jaxb:bindings schemaLocation="Path/To/MyXSD.xsd" node="/xs:schema/xs:complexType[#name='ThingThatNeedsToBeBound']">
<!-- your custom binding -->
</jaxb:bindings>
So, it's just like a regular case, except that you specify the schemaLocation, but then you can consider the imported schema as a whole itself instead of a part of something.
I hope this will help others stumbling upon this problem.
Source : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/grid/jax-ws-jaxb-customization-082750.html
(Note : in the source, the solution seems way more complicated, so my case might have been simpler than what they described, I found my solution using that none the less !)
I did something similar ages ago, I think you need to specify the node to select with XPath as follows:
//xs:element[#name='isFoobar']/xs:complexType
Or replace xs:complexType with whatever kind of type you are using here. Hopefully it will fix your probelm.
My first try at resolving this was trying to somehow use XPath or multiple jxb:binding elements, but that didn't work. As far as I know the XPath just isn't validated properly against imported schemas unless it would all be rewritten and mashed together with DOM.
So the way I resolved this problem was by using inline customizations in the imported XSD. I didn't test this approach with multiple nested imports, but if you got access and time to modify all the imported XSDs this should work out ok. In my opinion this is only necessary if you need to generate the mapping and can be scrubbed/removed from the XSD once the mapping is done.

MSXML - Namespaces info not persisting

I am using MSXML 6.0 to perform a transform of my own XML into another XML format. I am not sure if I maybe just don't understand exactly how MSXML works, but I believe I have noticed some strange behaviour with it....
I am adding in the namespaces to my XML doc using the setProperty method e.g.
XmlDocument.setProperty('SelectionNamespaces',
' xmlns:ms=''http://mydomain.com/2010/MySchema''');
Then I am building up the XML using my own custom serializer in memory (not saving to disk). Once serialized I then load in the XSLT file and perform the transformation using transformNodeToObject e.g.
AppXmlDoc.transformNodeToObject(XslXmlDoc, AStreamForTransformedXml);
The problem is the transform is working but none of the specific template matching XPath I have in it is. I eliminated any problems with the XSLT file itself by running it with test data through Visual Studio and it worked as expected. I then assumed it must have been an encoding issue so I made sure that all the documents involved were being read/written out as UTF-8....still no luck.
Here is an example of what the transform looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:ms="http://mydomain.com/2010/MySchema" exclude-result-prefixes="ms">
<xsl:template match="/">
<ARoot>
<head>
<xsl:apply-templates select="ms:Element/ms:SubElement" />
</head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="ms:Element/ms:DifferentSubElement" />
</body>
</ARoot>
So the result of the transform when run through MSXML brings over the basic structure but does not include any of the template data. After some testing I discovered the only way to get it to work is to do it in the following steps:
Create a new XML doc
Set the namespace info using setProperty
Serialize the XML and save to disk.
Close the document - extra step
Create a new Xml doc - extra step
Reload the document - extra step
Re-set the namespace info - extra step
Perform the transform.
So it appears that MSXML loses track of the Namespace information at somepoint. What makes it even more weird is even if you reset the namespace info (after serializing) and try the transform it still doesn't work! It will only seem to work if I save the document, close it and recreate a new XML document and load it back in (which as a consequence I need to reset the namespaces).
Anyone have any thoughts/ideas on this?
The SelectionNamespace property is used for XPath with the selectNodes and selectSingleNode methods, not for XSLT or other purposes. So I am not sure why you set it and what you expect it to help with as you do not seem to use selectNodes or selectSingleNode.
What is it that you want to achieve with MSXML 6? If you want to create some MSXML DOM documents with elements and/or attributes in namespaces then make sure you use createNode as that is the only namespace aware method in MSXML's API.

xmltask confused about dtd

I'm trying to use xmltask for ant to modify a file in a subdirectory:
project/path/to/file.xml
The file refers to a DTD like this:
<!DOCTYPE data SYSTEM "mydtd.dtd">
I don't have the flexibility to change these documents.
This DTD is stored in the same subdirectory, which has always worked fine:
project/path/to/mydtd.dtd
Unfortunately, xmltask is trying to locate the dtd in my project's top-level directory, which is where my build file is located, and where I run from:
[xmltask] java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/me/project/mydtd.dtd (The system cannot find the file specified)
I see in the xmltask documentation that I can correct this with an xmlcatalog element to tell it where to look up the file. But I need to use a dtd element, and I can only find examples for this element, not documentation; the examples show only a publicId, and if I understand XML correctly this document does not have one. I shouldn't need to specify this, anyway, right, since my document already says my DTD is stored locally and shows right where it is?
Why isn't xmltask finding the DTD correctly? What's the best way to correct or work around this situation?
An XML Catalog is the way to go here, it just needs a bit more perseverance.
As you correctly pointed out, the standard Ant <XmlCatalog> type only allows you to specify public DTD references when using the inline syntax, which is of no use to you. However, <XmlCatalog> also lets you specify a standard OASIS-syntax catalog, which is far richer, including resolving SYSTEM DTD references.
An OASIS catalog (full spec here) looks like this:
<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">
<system systemId="mydtd.dtd" uri="project/path/to/mydtd.dtd"/>
</catalog>
You can then reference this catalog from the <XmlCatalog>:
<xmlcatalog refid="commonDTDs"/>
<catalogpath>
<pathelement location="path/to/oasis.catalog"/>
</catalogpath>
</xmlcatalog>
And that's that. It's a good idea to build up a reusable OASIS catalog file, and refer to it from various XML-related Ant tasks, all of which can use <XmlCatalog>.
As an alternative, it looks like I can skip the whole validation by creating a blank file with the same name as the DVD file, and then deleting the file when I am done. Odds are I am going to go that route instead of using the catalog.
xmltask isn't finding it because it is looking in the current working directory. Ant allows you to specify a base directory using the basedir attribute of the <target> element. So I suggest you try this:
<target basedir="path/to" ...>
<xmltask...
</target>
It strikes me that it is not the XML/DTD that you really have the problem with, but getting xmltask to interact with the two of them as you want.
If that fails, you could use the Ant Copy task to copy the XML and DTD to the root folder before processing with xmltask, then copying back again.
Have you tried:
<!DOCTYPE data SYSTEM "./path/to/mydtd.dtd">
? Or an absolute path?
Also, you can find <dtd> description here.
I had a similar problem where an XML file had a doctype with SYSTEM reference that could not be changed.
<!DOCTYPE opencms SYSTEM "http://www.opencms.org/dtd/6.0/opencms-modules.dtd">
I first went down the road and created a catalog file with the OASIS catalog as described above, but to be able to use external catalogs I had to include the Apache Commons Resolver 1.1 (resolver.jar) in the Ant classpath (see http://ant.apache.org/manual/Types/xmlcatalog.html).
Because I had multiple machines on which this build was supposed to run this seemed overkill, especially since xmltask worked fine if I just removed the doctype definition. I wasn't allowed to remove it permanently because the doctype was needed elsewhere.
Ultimately I used this workaround: I commented out the doctype definition using Ant's replace task, ran the xmltask, and then put the doctype back into the file.
<replace file="myxmlfile.xml">
<replacetoken><!DOCTYPE opencms SYSTEM "http://www.opencms.org/dtd/6.0/opencms-modules.dtd"></replacetoken>
<replacevalue><!-- !DOCTYPE opencms SYSTEM "http://www.opencms.org/dtd/6.0/opencms-modules.dtd" --></replacevalue>
</replace>
<xmltask .../>
<replace file="${local.opencms.webapp.webinf}/config/opencms-modules.xml">
<replacetoken><!-- !DOCTYPE opencms SYSTEM "http://www.opencms.org/dtd/6.0/opencms-modules.dtd" --></replacetoken>
<replacevalue><!DOCTYPE opencms SYSTEM "http://www.opencms.org/dtd/6.0/opencms-modules.dtd"></replacevalue>
</replace>
