Extract cdata from the soapenv:Body

Question

If I log $body, I am seeing the below.
<soapenv:Body xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><![CDATA[<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Customer><name>aaa</name>...</Customer>]]></soapenv:Body>
How to extract <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Customer><name>aaa</name>...</Customer> from the above soapenv:Body? Xml is inside the CDATA section.
Basically i want to extract all the xml that is in between CDATA section

Answer 1

hmm... finally solved... in assign action, assign value $body/text() to any variable and use that. No need to convert it into a XML node as it is already a XML.
For e.g. - if the SOAP envelope being received is below -
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Header>
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<![CDATA[<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Customer/>closeing brackets for CDATA here***
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
Then assign action would return you below -<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Customer/>However I would like to know that what do you want to do further (operations), on this xml.Regards,AnujEdited by: Anuj Dwivedi, Infosys on Jan 13, 2010 6:42 PM
