Hi, With reference to my last email, for text/xml request (I simplified it to get an idea):
* <ns1:setInterface xmlns:ns1="http://localhost:9090/axis2/quagga_openapi";> <name>eth0</name> </ns1:setInterface>* Now to read this, I followed echo example and have: * if (!node) /* root node */ { set_interface_error(env, "Invalid payload; echoString node is NULL"); return NULL; } text_parent_node = axiom_node_get_first_element(node, env); if (!text_parent_node) /* fucntion string: setInterface */ { set_interface_error(env, "Invalid payload; text node is NULL"); return NULL; } text_node = axiom_node_get_first_child(text_parent_node, env); if (!text_node) /* <name> tag */ { set_interface_error(env, "Invalid payload; text to be echoed is NULL"); return NULL; } if (axiom_node_get_node_type(text_node, env) == AXIOM_TEXT) { axiom_text_t *text = (axiom_text_t *) axiom_node_get_data_element(text_node, env); if (text && axiom_text_get_value(text, env)) { axis2_char_t *text_str = (axis2_char_t *) axiom_text_get_value(text, env); printf("Interface Name: %s \n", text_str); } } else { set_interface_error(env, "Invalid payload; invalid XML in request"); return NULL; } * And it works if I have only <name> tag in the XML. But if I have: * <ns1:setInterface xmlns:ns1="http://localhost:9090/axis2/quagga_openapi";> <name>eth0</name> <address>192.168.0.1</address> </ns1:setInterface>* and now if I add to the code to extract address, * text_node1 = axiom_node_get_next_sibling(text_node, env); if (!text_node1) /* <address> tag */ { printf("No Sibling found !!!!*****\n"); set_interface_error(env, "Invalid payload; text to be echoed is NULL"); return NULL; } if (axiom_node_get_node_type(text_node1, env) == AXIOM_TEXT) { axiom_text_t *text1 = (axiom_text_t *) axiom_node_get_data_element(text_node1, env); if (text1 && axiom_text_get_value(text1, env)) { axis2_char_t *text_str1 = (axis2_char_t *) axiom_text_get_value(text1, env); printf("Address is : %s \n", text_str1); } } else { printf("Sibling Node text type not text !!!!*****\n"); set_interface_error(env, "Invalid payload; invalid XML in request"); return NULL; } * It results in No Sibling found!!! How do I access <address> ? How is the hierarchy traversed ? I hope my question is clear? Any guidance shall be highly appreciated.
