Write a simple string to a file.

Question

I have a string that is formatted with new lines that I want to write to a file as is. I have not been able to create a File Partner Link that can successfully write the content.
The opaque approach creates an empty file.
I have tried defining a new schema as a string, a delimited and a fixed length and the closest I have come is getting the last line written with fixed length.
This is the input schema. I want to write the file element. The complex_child element contains values I would use to build the file name.
<xs:complexType name="complex_parent_type">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="complex_child" type="ns1:complex_child_type"/>
<xs:element name="file" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
Anybody have any success? I would think this should be a simple process. We would prefer not to use embedded Java.
Thanks,
Wes.

Hi Wes,
You could try using this schema:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:nxsd="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/nxsd"
targetNamespace="..."
xmlns:tns="..."
elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
nxsd:encoding="US-ASCII" nxsd:stream="chars"
nxsd:version="NXSD" >
<xsd:element name="file" type="xsd:string" nxsd:style="terminated"
                              nxsd:terminatedBy="${eof}">
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
You could copy over the contents of the string that you want to write out into the element above and then use the "invoke" on a file adapter PL to write it out.
