Convert string into XML inside BPEL

Hello ,
How to convert string into xml format ? And make element and define attribute inside it ??

There are several problems with your input:
1. Your xml is not well-formed because the attribute values should be enclosed withing double " quotes and not single ' quotes;
2. You use a prefix (sml) for the folowing part but you dont define the namespace:
<ids>
<VID ID="new"/>
<data>
<*sml:*attr name="std">
<sml:value></sml:value>
</sml:attr>
<sml:attr name="xde">
<sml:value></sml:value>
</sml:attr>
</data>
</ids>
Complete message should be:
<ids xmlns:sml="somenamespace">
<VID ID="new"/>
<data>
<sml:attr name="std">
<sml:value></sml:value>
</sml:attr>
<sml:attr name="xde">
<sml:value></sml:value>
</sml:attr>
</data>
</ids>
3. Do you assign this expression to a variable that is based on the schema of your message you want to parse

How can I convert IDoc in XML format w/DTD into a string?

I want to send by e-mail outbound IDoc in XML format with its document type definition (DTD).
I want to be able to get the same output result into a string than the XML file IDoc port type with DTD activated. I have created a FM (based on SAP "OWN_FUNCTION") assigned to an IDoc port of type ABAP-PI that executes the following processing steps:
1-Extract outbound IDoc information to get the sender & recipient mail addresses (EDP13 / EDIPHONE tables).
2-Convert & Transform IDoc data into XML string using FM IDX_IDOC_TO_XML.
3-Prepare and send e-mail with XML attachement using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
I cand generate the e-mail with the XML file attachement but FM IDX_IDOC_TO_XML does not convert the IDoc with proper formating and DTD.
What should I use to accomplish the IDoc conversion to XML w/DTD into a string?
Should I use XSLT tools ?
How does that work?
Thank you
Carl

Use decimal string to number
Specifically, you can define a constant with a different datatype on the input on the lower left if you need a different datatype (e.g. U8, I64, DBL, etc) Are all your values integers or do you also need to scan fractional numbers? In this case, you should use "fract/exp string to number" instead.

For such node level operations I think that DOM would be a good idea. So here you go. Look for some nice tutorial for DOM and you got it.

Converting Javabeans into XML format

HI,
I have wrote program that will read input from users then stored them in javabeans. I used the serialize function to create xml file from the javabeans.
public static void CreateXML(LocationRequest location)
          try
     // Serialize object into XML
     XMLEncoder encoder = new XMLEncoder(new BufferedOutputStream(
new FileOutputStream("test.xml")));
     encoder.writeObject(location);
     encoder.close();
     } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
The output file is as follows :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<java version="1.4.1_05" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder">
<object >
<void property="address">
<string>21212122</string>
</void>
<void property="originatorId">
<string>Anu</string>
</void>
</object>
</java>
Could anyone has idea on how i can change the above xml file into another new xml format like below:-
<address> 21212122</address>
<originatorId> "Anu "</originatorId>
Cheers,
Bambli

The quickest way would be to use XSLT. Write a stylesheet that converts your 1st format to your 2nd format.
Here's an example stylesheet. (I'm a little rusty on my XSL so you'll want to test this.)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
    version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"/>

<xsl:template match="/java/object/void/@property">
    <xsl:element name="local-name()">
      <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
    </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet> Feed this to a transformer as follows:
javax.xml.transform.TranformFacotry factory = javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory.newInstance();
javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource source = new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource(new java.io.File("yourstylesheet.xsl"));
javax.xml.transform.Transformer xformer =factory.newTransformer(source);
xformer.transform(new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource(new java.io.File("yourbean.xml")),new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult(new java.io.File("yourconverted.xml")));Its that simple.

Convert PDF to XML Format . Can´t get it working :(

Hi everybody,
I am a Rocky in Acrobat Scriptingand I need some helpd to convert a PDF file into an XML format using the build in javascript console.
The only thing I got so far is:
this.saveAs("/e/test.xml","com.adobe.acrobat.xml-1-00")
I got this information from the refrence guide, but I did not find an accurate example. Can you lend me a hand ? If you find a solution can you also explain me the different sections of the code because I still want to learn something besides using the copy and paste option.
Thank you very much:

Converting string to XML

Dear All,
I am using PI 7.1
I am trying to invoke a third party SOAP API which accepts request in the form of a string which has embedded xml and also return a string which has xml embedded in it.
To send the xml as string, I used the feature "Retun as XML" in mapping and it worked fine.
But the response which has xml embedded, needs to be converted back to XML message.
I understand that we can write parsers in java, ABAP and also do XSLT mapping.
Just wanted to know that is there any "out of the box" feature to do the same.
Please refrain from providing links to java mappings or xslt as I have gone through them already.
regards,
Piyush

Hi Piyush,
                  All parsers will fail to parse the XML message you are getting. Since you are getting the following tag twice within the XMl
"<?xml version="1.0"?>"
This tag can be present in an document only once in begining of the document. First you need to remove this tag from appearing in source.
Suppose you are able to do that then your XML structure will become something like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<ns1:AuthenticateResponse xmlns:ns1="urn:Login" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance">

You can add attributes to the tags as per your requirement. I have commnented those lines in the java code.

Converting String to datetime format

I have a String which is in 04-DEC-78 format, I want it to be inserted in to a field in sql database.If I map directly I am getting
"Microsoft.ServiceModel.Channels.Common.XmlReaderParsingException: The input data for the field/parameter "e_date" is invalid according to the expected SqlDbType DateTime. ---> System.FormatException: The string '04-DEC-65' is not a valid
AllXsd value.
Tried to convert the string to datetime format in Mapping but getting error
public DateTime FormatCheck(string param1)
IFormatProvider culture = new CultureInfo("en-US", true);
return DateTime.ParseExact(param1, "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss.fff", culture);
Inline Script Error: The type or namespace name 'CultureInfo' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Help me out!!

HOLD ON!
Let's try to clear this up. If the input data is "04-DEC-78" then, sorry, none of the code posted so far will work.
"04-DEC-78" is not directly parsable so the .ParseExact format must match the source.
The format for xs:datetime is ISO 8601 which is like yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss-[offset]. Internally the sqlBinding will cast the XsdDateTime (the .Net xs:datetime implementation) to a SqlDateTime.
One very, very important missing detail is the type of the SQL parameter. Is it (SQL) datetime or string?
If the SQL parameter is datetime, then you can use this:
public string FormatCheck(string param1)
return DateTime.ParseExact(param1, "dd-MMM-yy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString("s");

Don't convert to bytes using your system's default encoding but tell the parser that the bytes are encoded in UTF-8.
In fact since you already have chars, don't convert to bytes and make the parser convert back to chars at all. Do this:String string = xmlFile.toString();
Document doc =
   factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(string)));

Converting string to xml Document object.

Hi all,
I having a string consiste of xml data.
I wants to convert this to an xml document object.
When i am trying to do this i am getting fatal error Premature End of file.
This is sample code from my program.
String xmlStr = " <TravelItineraryAddInfoRQ>
<POS>
<Source PseudoCityCode="A2PB"/>
</POS>
</TravelItineraryAddInfoRQ>";
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware( false );

char[] ch = new char[1200];
builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
StringReader sr = new StringReader(xmlStr);
InputSource is = new InputSource(sr);
Reader r = is.getCharacterStream();
r.read(ch);
System.out.println("String Starting ==== ");
for(int i=0;i<ch.length;i++)
System.out.print(ch);
Document XMLDoc = builder.parse(new InputSource(sr));
System.out.println("Document Object ==== "+XMLDoc);
thnx,
raj

Hi Rajaven,
use the below step, I think it could help u
StringBufferInputStream sb = new StringBufferInputStream(strBf));
doc = db.parse(sb);first conver a string to StringBufferInputStream then parse to doc Object
hope it will solve.
let me know if it's not working

Hello,
What is the proper way to parse XML String instead of a XML file?.

Use new InputSource(new StringReader(s)).
Good luck.
