Converting XML Document Message (xsd string) to BPEL

Hello, I have written a BPEL flow that takes input from a client (a query) then Invokes a scynchronous data service (passes some parameters to run a federated query) that returns an xsd string that is a set of records in XML (see below). I want to understand how I use the Assign function (or other method) to consume the xsd string (XML file) in BPEL.
I set up complexType elements in the WSDL schema as follows (snippet, not complete WSDL) to manage the input and output:
<element name="QueryRequest" type="tns:inputType"/>
<element name="QueryResult" type="tns:recordType"/>
<complexType name="inputType">
<sequence>
<element name="username" type="string"/>
<element name="password" type="string"/>
<element name="city" type="string"/>
<element name="state" type="string"/>
<element name="zip" type="string"/>
                         </sequence>
</complexType>
                    <complexType name="recordType">
                         <sequence>
                              <element name="customer" type="tns:customerType" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
                         </sequence>
                    </complexType>
                    <complexType name="customerType">
<sequence>
<element name="accountNumber" type="string"/>
<element name="lastName" type="string"/>
<element name="firstName" type="string"/>
<element name="email" type="string"/>
<element name="city" type="string"/>
<element name="state" type="string"/>
<element name="zip" type="string"/>
                         </sequence>
                    </complexType>

How to create an XML document from a String.

Can anyone help,
     In the Microsoft XML Document DOM there is a load function load(string) which will create an XML document, but now we are switching to Java and I do not know how to create and XML document from a string, this string �xml document� is passed to my program from a webservice and I need to read several xml elements form it in a web server.
This string is a well formatted XML document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Countries NumberOfRecords="1" LanguageID="en-us">
     <Country>
          <CountryCode>AU</CountryCode>
          <CountryName>AUSTRALIA</CountryName>
     </Country>
</Countries>

Thanks PC!
I made it work using:
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
factory.setIgnoringComments(true); // We want to ignore comments
// Now use the factory to create a DOM parser
DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
//TransformThisStringBuffer is a string buffer wich contain the 'XML document (String)'
InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(TransformThisStringBuffer.toString().getBytes());
// Parse the InputStream and build the document
Document document = parser.parse(in);
But which one is faster InputSource or InputStream, were would you put the "new InputSource(new StringReader(yourString))" in the above code?

Want help in converting XML Document to a postscript file

I want to convert XML Document to a postscript file in Java, not from command line. Any help is appreciated.

well, you first need an XML parser, which is easy to implement
then you need to either write the postscript out bit by bit or use a Java API that writes PostScript for you.
It's really simple, the trick is HOW you decide to write out the PS

Converting XML Document to String

Dear All,
I am quite new to Java Web Services. I have made a Java Class which calls all the web services . I am displaying the results on a Command prompt. Below is my sample code:
import javax.xml.rpc.Service;
import javax.xml.rpc.Stub;
import horusWS.Horus_x0020_Web_x0020_Services_Impl;
import horusWS.Horus_x0020_Web_x0020_ServicesSoap;
public class JavaClient {
public static void main(String[] args)
Horus_x0020_Web_x0020_Services_Impl service = new Horus_x0020_Web_x0020_Services_Impl();
Horus_x0020_Web_x0020_ServicesSoap port = service.getHorus_x0020_Web_x0020_ServicesSoap();
String str;
str = port.getTextFeedbackLearner(1,"P001",1);
//where getTextFeedbackLearner is the my Web Service.
System.out.println(str);
System.out.println returns the web service in string format. Now I want to compare this string to my actual getTextFeedbackLearner.xml file. But I think I need to convert getTextFeedbackLearner.xml to string first. Please let me know
how can I convert an XML Document to String.
Thanking you in Anticipation.
cheers,

You can read the XML document as you read any other file.
Read it into a String variable.
Check java.io.FileReader, java.io.BufferReader, etc.

Assigning XML Document Message to XSD Instance

Hi,
I have constrcuted below XML Document mesaage ( System.XML.XMLDocument) and I have created xsd schema for the same and I would like to assign the XML Document to the xsd schema instace inside Orchestration.
Pl let me know what is How to assign inside Orchestration.
<BacklogMaterial SAPMaterialNumber="100010" xmlns="http://www.myorg.com/InventoryBroker">
<Quantity UOM="EA">41</Quantity>
</BacklogMaterial>

i think since you already have a variable of type System.XML.XMLDocument
you can directly assign that to the xsd schema message variable
like say you have following variables
1. xmldoc that holds the XML
Document mesaage
2. outputmsg variable of type xsd schema instance
then you can directly assign as
outputmsg=xmldoc
make sure you use message assignment shape.

How to get the WHOLE xml document inside a string using XSLT mapping

Hi folks,
I have a deep xml structure that I want to embed as body, tags included, in a mail message (not as an attachment).

However, I can't get it to deliver the entire structure instead of just specific elements.
Any help is greatly appreciated,

How to convert XML document to xml variable?

Hi,
I have taken an xml variable in my process and reading a xml document file. Can anyone tell me how can i convert this xml document to xml variable so that i can parse the xml variable.
I am able to convert xml variable to xml document variable by using set value activity. But how do I perform reverse process.
I want to perform this conversion because i want to keep xml data in document format on storage drive and then parse this xml data so that i can read the nodes.
Any help will be appreciated..
Regards
Sunil

we can use set value activity to reach these xml docs and assign it to xml variable.
Then parsing of this xml can be browsed to find the nodes.

Error While converting xml to sap abap string.

Hi Experts,
As i am doing an cross Application from SAP to .Net and vice versa.I am receiving an xml from .Net and it should be converted to ABAP string Using the following function module SMUM_XML_PARSE
And the following string i am receiving from .net
<Root><qApprovalInfo><RequesterId>xxxx</RequesterId><RequesterName>xxx</RequesterName><ApproverId>xxxx</ApproverId><ApproverLevel>1</ApproverLevel><PendingApprovalId>0200169911</PendingApprovalId><CreatedDate>20/07/2011</CreatedDate><CreatedBy>xx</CreatedBy><ModifiedDate>2011-07-20 16:45</ModifiedDate><ModifiedBy>xxxx</ModifiedBy><ApplicationCode>EPAY</ApplicationCode><WorkFlowCode>EPX</WorkFlowCode><ApprovalStatus>APPROVED</ApprovalStatus><ActionComments><![CDATA[APPROVED(through Desktop)]]></ActionComments><Mode>CREATE</Mode><ActionSource>DESKTOP</ActionSource></qApprovalInfo><qApprovalHidden><Approverl>40002664</Approver><EmployeeId>40016515</EmployeeId></qApprovalHidden></Root>

is their any way to convert that CDATA value?..
have anybody come across the following issue ?...
can anybody provide the solution for this?.
Edited by: basavaraj.p on Aug 29, 2011 10:54 AM

Hi,
SMUM_XML_PARSE is a simplified, unreleased and undocumented version of the powerful, released and documented iXML
If you look at the GET_ELEMENT subroutine in that function module, you'll see that the nodes of type CO_NODE_CDATA_SECTION are simply ignored.
The simpliest thing for you, maybe, is to duplicate the code of SMUM_XML_PARSE (as it is rather easy to handle), and add a section to GET_ELEMENT. You'll have also to use IF_IXML_CDATA_SECTION interface and ixml_iid_cdata_section constant.
Documentation is here: [SAP Library: Interface if_ixml_cdata_section|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/bb/576658dca511d4990b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm ]

Converting XML structure to SQL string

Hi,
how can I convert an existing XML structure into a SQL string? It's important to do this manually, because there are additional data necessary to complete the recordset.
The XML structure is:

<Column>Data</Column>

The additional data are 4 columns for each recordset to implement into the SQL string.
The SQL string should be something like
"INSERT INTO table (Add_Column, Column, Column, Column) VALUES (Add_Data, Data, Data, Data)"
If anyone has source code performing operations like that I'd be grateful 'cause I'm quite new to Java and have not the experience in such transform ops.

Which package includes xml sax?You can download it from,

Convert XML Schema Files (XSD) in HTML Forms

Hi Everybody,
I am new in the topic of the XML, XSD, the situation is the following , I have a few files .XSD and need to generate automatic html forms based on these .XSD to gather information and later convert them into XML files and save them in a repository and later a middleware will process this information.
My first serious question if it is possible to develop the above mentioned task automatic? And the second one where you recommend to me to start investigating?.
Thanks in advance for your answer
Regards from Peru.

There are products which do that already, I think. XMLSpy is one. Check that out to see if I'm right (not sure about the HTML part). Otherwise, welcome to the club of several hundred people who have asked basically that same question (only not with the HTML part) here.
