XML documents can be used to transfer data. The data in an XML document can be retrieved either with the JAXP (Java API for XML Processing) DOM and SAX APIs, or with the JAXP XPath API. Addressing an XML document with XPath has the advantage of selecting a single node directly without iterating over a node set. In this article, we'll explore XPath support in Oracle JDeveloper-XDK 11g. The article is a book extract from Packt Publishing's Processing XML Documents in Oracle JDeveloper 11g. With SAX and DOM APIs, node lists have to be iterated to access a particular node. Another advantage of navigating an XML document with XPath is that an attribute node may be selected directly. With DOM and SAX APIs, an element node has to be selected before an element attribute can be s... (more)

Configuring the WebLogic-Eclipse Plug-in

The WebLogic-Eclipse plug-in is designed to run the WebLogic Server from the Eclipse IDE. With the WebLogic-Eclipse plug-in, the WebLogic Server gets started and stopped from Eclipse. An application deployed in the WebLogic Server can be debugged from Eclipse with the plug-in. By installing the WebLogic plug-in in Eclipse the WebLogic Server can be configured and administered from the Ec... (more)

Configuring Eclipse for Remote Debugging a WebLogic Java Application

A J2EE application deployed in the WebLogic server may be debugged in the Eclipse IDE with the remote debugger provided by Eclipse. Without a debugger the error message has to be obtained from the application server error log to debug the application. With the remote debugger provided by Eclipse, exception breakpoints may be added to the application file to debug. When an application is r... (more)
