About ora:parseEscapedXML(String contentString)

Question

Where can I find more documentation on each specific expression? Web service returns a String (which is a XML document). We are trying to consume it in BPEL as XML document. I couldn't get this parsing function work though. Can anyone give a pointer or two?
Thanks,
Wen

Hi Wen,
Look at the XPathFunction sample to see an example of the usage at "OracleAS\bpel\samples\references\XPathFunction".
We have also successfuly used this funktion to convert the result of a webservice (string containing the xml-structure) into a xml document.
BPEL code snippet
<assign name="expandResult">
<copy>
<from expression="ora:parseEscapedXML(bpws:getVariableData('invokeWizardOutput','closeWoResponse','/ns5:closeWoResponse/ns5:fi_datum'))"/>
<to variable="wizardOutputExpanded" query="/ns5:closeWoResponse_Expanded/ns5:If"/>
</copy>
</assign>
If i look at the flow in the bpel-consol my result looks like this:
BEFORE:
<invokeWizardOutput>
<part xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" name="closeWoResponse">
<types:closeWoResponse xmlns:types="http://schema.kabeldeutschland.de/interface/ProvisioningInterface/WizardAPITypes">
<types:tpRetCode>0</types:tpRetCode>
<types:tpErrno>0</types:tpErrno>
<types:tpErrDetails/>
<types:fi_datum><?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="yes" ?><If version="5.02.10.00_6051"><closeWoOut><meldungen><meldung><code>0</code><text>OK</text></meldung></meldungen></closeWoOut></If></types:fi_datum>
</types:closeWoResponse>
</part>
</invokeWizardOutput>
AFTER:
<wizardOutputExpanded>
<closeWoResponse_Expanded xmlns="http://schema.kabeldeutschland.de/interface/ProvisioningInterface/WizardAPITypes">
<If version="5.02.10.00_6051">
<closeWoOut xmlns="">
<meldungen>
<meldung>
<code>0</code>
<text>OK</text>
</meldung>
</meldungen>
</closeWoOut>
</If>
</closeWoResponse_Expanded>
</wizardOutputExpanded>
