Hi Vijay,
This xml file you're talking about, is it purely data in xml format? Or is it a display document
like HTML or xsl:fo?
Let's get your problem statement clear.
You have a application (not OFBiz) that reads an xml file. ("it is called by other application
during runtime").
This xml file contains data in xml format. ("The application parses the data in xml
file").
What you need to do is to first generate the xml data dynamically, then dump the data into an xml
file.
Is my understanding correct?
Sorry if I misunderstood. Your problem description is not easy to understand. For eg, the term
"application" is used thrice, and I'm not sure what application you're talking about.
This doesn't sound like an OFBiz issue? If it is an application development effort, rather than an
issue/problem with OFBiz, would you mind paying one of the developers on this ML for a few hours'
consultation on implementation strategies?

Hi Jonathon,
My constraint is as follows.
I need to have an xml file. This xml file is supposed to have some data that
comes from the database.
The best way to do this is write a .bsh script and the use these results, in
xml file using ${variable}.
However the constraint is that i need to have this xml file as static
...because it is called by other application during runtime. The application
parses the data in xml file and is not able to recognize "${variable}" ...
So a possible solution i am thinking of is to store all the results in an
ftl file just give all the necessary formating to it and then just
<#include> it in my xml file..........so that when the application runs ,
xml files copies all the contents from the ftl file.....and before
application runs ...i need to load my data in the ftl file.
I hope now you get the problem statement better......please suggest me of
any ways to do this or better ideas
Regards

Hi Vijay,
What "dynamic data" are you talking about?
You can use bsh scripts to pull in data from database. Is that what you
mean by "dynamic"?
What do you mean by "xml"?
You can actually use ${ } inside your widget screen definitions. Try
<label>${someVariable}</label>.
While .ftl files can access static classes to perform some "dynamic data
retrieval", it is not as
clean and easy as using .bsh.
In your .bsh, simply do: context.put("someVariable", "Whatever data you
want to pull in");

Hi,
I wanted to load an ftl file just to pull data from the .bsh script
file.
This ftl file will not display anything directly...rather i wanted to
<#include> all of it's content {which includes the dynamically pulled
data
from scripts} into an .xml file ....so that my xml file has all the
static
data. I am not able to use dynamic data pulled by xml directly i.ecannot
use ${} inside my xml. So i thought of pulling all dynamic stuff into an
.ftl file and then <#include> this data in the xml file....
Here i am confronted with the problem of loading ftl file just like .bsh
file..........so.....can i put .ftl files in <actions></actions> and
load it
in advance. Or please suggest some other way of loading the ftl file
just
for the sake of pulling data from the script.
Regards
