Using Query Multiple to XML

Question

Hi,
I am trying to use the service Query Multiple to XML which Queries the database using a SQL statement and returns the result set as XML data.
I configure and test (using test functionality in this service to see what is gonig on) this service in my workflow. As the result of this test, I saw that this wuery returns a piece of data in xml format like this :
        Özlem Aksel
        Cihan Aydın
        Fatih Büyüktaş
        Melik Akyıldız
        Aydın Türkdoğan
In Livecycle es samples, there is a sample about multiple query to xml,
but this sample just show that this service returns XML element. But, does not show, how to use it in forms.
My aim is, populating a dropdown list in my form, with the data returned by this query. Can anyone tell me how can use this data to populate my dropdown list?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Cihan Aydın

Hi, <br /><br />I found a solution for my problem.<br />I try to explain it below :<br /><br />In order to get user names and fill them to a combo,I use a simple form which consist of only a combo of user names with the following <br />xml schema :<br /><br /><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br /><xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><br />    <xsd:annotation><br />        <xsd:documentation xml:lang="en"><br />           MultipleSql deneme<br />        </xsd:documentation><br />    </xsd:annotation><br />    <xsd:element name="UserListApp" type="userlistFormType"/><br />   <br />    <xsd:complexType name="userlistFormType"><br />        <xsd:sequence><br />            <xsd:element name="userList"    type="userlistType"/><br />            <xsd:element name="tempdata"    type="xsd:string"  /><br />           </xsd:sequence><br />    </xsd:complexType><br />    <br />    <xsd:complexType name="userlistType" ><br />        <xsd:sequence><br />            <xsd:element name="users"    type="user"  minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded" /><br />        </xsd:sequence><br />    </xsd:complexType><br />   <br />    <br />    <xsd:complexType name="user" ><br />        <xsd:sequence><br />            <xsd:element name="name"    type="xsd:string"  /><br />        </xsd:sequence><br />    </xsd:complexType><br /></xsd:schema><br /><br />Then, in process design, I put an query to xml service with the following configuration :<br /><br />SQL stalement :<br />SELECT commonname from  edcprincipalentity where organization=?<br /><br />XML information :<br /><br />root Element name : userList<br />repeating element names : users<br /><br />XML output :<br /><br />define a process variable of XML type (im my ex : xml_output)<br />which returns :<br /><br /><userList><br />    <users><br />        <name type="VARCHAR">Fatih Büyükta&#351;</name><br />    </users><br />    <users><br />        <name type="VARCHAR">Ayd&#305;n Türkdo&#287;an</name><br />    </users><br />    <users><br />        <name type="VARCHAR">Özlem Aksel</name><br />    </users><br />      <users><br />        <name type="VARCHAR">Cihan Ayd&#305;n</name><br />    </users><br /></userList><br /><br />Then using a set value service, put this piesce of xml to  form data<br /><br />/process_data/<FORM VARIBLE NAME>/object/data/xdp/datasets/data/UserListApp<br />=<br />/process_data/xml_output<br /><br />Then, in form,<br /><br />add this script to combo box's initialize event :<br /><br />var oUsersNode = xfa.data.UserListApp.userList;<br />var oUsersNodeList = oUsersNode.resolveNodes("users[*].name");<br /><br />for (var i = 0; i < oUsersNodeList.length; i++)<br />{<br />    this.addItem(oUsersNodeList.item(i).value);<br /><br />}<br /><br />If you send your e-mail I can send you the complete example.<br /><br />Best regards<br /><br />Cihan
