Ok, I was wondering if I could get some help on something I'm trying to
accomplish.
I'm trying to build a function that takes an array of xmlelements,
whether its from an xmlsearch() - xpath expression, or the -.xmlchildren
and builds an xmldoc object, or an xmlelement object to be used somewhere
else.
@ - xmlarray (required) array of xml elements
@ - xnmlrootobj, either a predefined xmlroot obj or a string
@ - xmlelemname - either to use as a element to be returned, or as the root
of the xmldoc
function xx(xmlarray,xmlrootobj,xmlelemname){
var flag = 0;
var i = 1;
var tester = "";
//assume if it's not an xmlobj it was sent in as a string so
we'll build
one.
if(not IsXmlDoc(xmlrootobj))
{
flag = 1;
xmlrootobj = xmlnew();
xmlrootobj.xmlelemname =
xmlelemnew(xmlrootobj,xmlelemname);
}
else
{
xmlelemname =
xmlelemnew(xmlrootobj,xmlelemname);
}
for(i=1;i lte arraylen(xmlarray);i=i+1)
{
// ~ if xmlname is on
the left side of the assignment, cfmx thinks
I'm using it to set a property even though I'm just referencing its value,
// ~ so I'm giving it
a temp value to carry it through the loop.
tester =
xmlarray[i].xmlname;
// ~ create a new
element
tester =
xmlelemnew(xmlrootobj,tester);
// ~ I'm fully aware
that the XmlNsPrefix has to conform to spec,
but it seems needless that
// ~ I have to check
if it has a value when the rest of the cfmx
xml doc types
// ~ can just be
duplicated even if the value is an empty string.
eg. tester.XmlNsPrefix = xmlarray[i].XmlNsPrefix; or tester.XmlNsPrefix =
duplicate(xmlarray[i].XmlNsPrefix);
// ~ both error out
if it's an emptry string.
if(len(xmlarray[i].XmlNsPrefix))
{
tester.XmlNsPrefix = xmlarray[i].XmlNsPrefix;
}
tester.xmltext =
duplicate(xmlarray[i].xmltext);
tester.XmlNsURI =
duplicate(xmlarray[i].XmlNsURI);
tester.XmlComment =
duplicate(xmlarray[i].XmlComment);
tester.xmlattributes
= duplicate(xmlarray[i].xmlattributes);
// now here is my delimma, . the xmlchildren array of the
xmlelement is
essentially the same thing as the array I'm passing in.
// so I want to check if the array itself has any value and if
so pass it
back to this function to parse through that array.
// which I know isn't the best thing, but with no true other
way to move
children of one doc to another, it's pretty much the only way I have.
if(
arraylen(xmlarray[i].xmlchildren))
{
xx(xmlarray[i].xmlchildren,xmlrootobj,tester)
}
// The problem I have comes here.. I can't figure out how to
append the
children to it's parent on the fly.
// in another words I can't figure out how to put the
xmlchildren back
into this function and have it appended to the parent of that function which
would allow me to build the xml doc/element with all children duplicated
over.
arrayappend(xmlelemname.xmlchildren,tester);
}//end loop
if(flag)
{
return
xmlrootobj;
}
else
{
return
xmlelemname;
}
}
any ideas, ? or something similar out there?
