Convert XML string into an abap format date and time

Hi,
Does anyone know of a method or a function module in ABAP which converts XML string into an abap format date and time.
Here is a part of the xml that I want to convert.
<ns2:EventDateTime>2009-07-02T10:13:45+10:00</ns2:EventDateTime>
<ns2:EventMessageTransmissionDateTime>2009-07-02T10:13:45.987+10:00</ns2:EventMessageTransmissionDateTime>
Currently EventDateTime and EventMessageTransmissionDateTime are type XSDDATETIME_Z and these are converted to proper dates and times. We will be changing these fields to a STRING instead of XSDDATETIME_Z. The reason for this is to make the field more versatile. The customer would be receiving dates with Zulu (2009-09-23T12:00:00Z), with offsets (2009-09-23T12:00:00+10:00/-10:00) and just local timestamp (2009-09-23T12:00:00). With this, we need to make the date fields as string
to be able to accept the various date formats (esp. the local timestamp).
I am looking for a standard function module or method that will convert the xml string to a proper date and time abap format.
Would appreciate anyone's help!
Thanks.

Then I use the JDOM Element toString method() to change it into xml string.
Now, I need to convert it into actual xml file.
How to I do it?

If you got an xml string, just write it to an ordinary file. Look at FileWriter.

Convert XML file into ABAP Query

Can we capture a XML file generated from a Non-SAP system in SAP system and convert into ABAP Query to retreive Data from DB and post it back as a XML query to the same Non-SAP system using a Middleware. Can this process be done in cache memory level itself instead of saving in DB.
If it is possible pls do tell the procedure and steps to be followed.
Suggestion and Help will be much Appreciated

Converting XML string to ABAP types

Hello,
I am having a requirement where i wanted to parse incoming XML string and i checked few of examples of CALL TRANSFORMATION id.
but whatever examples i checked those were simple transformation with no hierarchy.
My source structure
<record>
<firstname>XYZ</firstname>
<position>Testposition</postion>
</record>
and i used
CALL transformation id
source xml lv_xml
result firstname = lv_firstname position = lv_position.
but lv_firstname and lv_position were blank. any idea whether it can be acheived through such method?
thanks in advance.
regards
rajeev

Hello Rajeev,
Try using the following simple transformation
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
<tt:root name="record"/>
<tt:template name="record">
    <record>
      <firstname>
        <tt:value ref="record.firstname"/>
      </firstname>
      <position>
        <tt:value ref="record.position"/>
      </position>
    </record>
</tt:template>
</tt:transform>
In your code you could define a structure like the following:
TYPES: BEGIN OF record,
              firstname TYPE char50,
              position TYPE char50,
            END OF record.
And now you could use the CALL TRANSFORMATION in your code to convert the xml string into the structure and visa-versa.
CALL TRANSFORMATION zcl_test_rec
      SOURCE XML lv_string
      RESULT record = ls_test.
Where lv_string holds the xml as a string and ls_test is defined as a structure of type record (defined above).
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Ramneek

A class to format an XML string into indented xml code

I am looking for a class or a piece of code to format an XML string into indented xml code
for example: an XML string as follows
<servlet><servlet-name>Login</servlet-name>servlet-class>ucs.merch.client.system.LoginServlet</servlet-class></servlet><servlet-mapping><servlet-name>Login</servlet-name>
to format into :
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Login</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>ucs.merch.client.system.LoginServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Login</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Login</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
e-mail : [email protected]

Xerces has a class called OutputFormat
If you have your XML document in memory, you can format it using the method setIndenting(true) on the OutputFormat class. The following is an example:
assuming xmlDoc is our document and fileName is the name of the file we wish to write to:
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(xmlDoc);
// setup output file name
PrintWriter printwriter = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(fileName, false));
// construct an XMLSerializer for writing the document
XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer( printwriter, format );
// Ensure output is indented correctly...
format.setIndenting(true);
// set serializer as a DOM Serializer
serializer.asDOMSerializer();
// serialize the document
serializer.serialize(xmlDoc);
hope this helps!

REG: WRITE XML STRING INTO XML FILE

Hi All, I have a XML FILE on PC. I get a xml string from my server.
My Task: I want to append the xml string coming from the server into the existing xml file at a particular Node. Given below is my code :
String xmlString = baos.toString();
                  DocumentBuilder db4XMLString = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
                  InputSource inStream = new InputSource();
                  inStream.setCharacterStream(new StringReader(xmlString));
                  Document doc4XMLString = db4XMLString.parse(inStream);
                  Node root4XMLString = doc4XMLString.getElementsByTagName("epg").item(0);
                  doc.appendChild(doc.importNode(root4XMLString, true));
                  File file = new File(Constant.XMLFILEPATH);
                  Result result = new StreamResult(file.toURI().getPath());
                  Source source = new DOMSource(doc);
                  Transformer xformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
                  xformer.transform(source, result);But, wen i run my application I get following exception:
The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.
at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser.parse(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderImpl.parse(Unknown Source)
Is that my XML string is not well formed. Is it so then please let me how to convert my xml string into well formed XML data.
Please help me out.
Thanking You.

There are many reasons why xmlString could be not well formed. There is no magic recipe for making it well formed: just look at it and see why it is not parseable.
Note that this line:
String xmlString = baos.toString();can be problematic if you have non ASCII-7 characters in your XML document. baos could then contain a byte representation of these characters in one particular encoding, but, since you use the .toString() method that relies on the default encoding of your system, you can end up with a mismatch and garbage in your XML.

Read an XML file into an ABAP program and manipulate it.

I would like to know if it is possible to do the following in an ABAP program:
1) Read an XML file into an ABAP internal table
2) Call an XSLT transformation on the source file and store the results in an ABAP table.
Is this possible to do? I have used ABAP XSLT in PI, but never in an ABAP program. I see you can use the CALL TRANSFORMATION command, but I have never used it in an ABAP program.
Kind Regards,
Tony.
