XMLimporter not working

Wed, 02 Jun 2004 05:01:29 -0700

Hi everybody,
 
I'm trying to use the XML importer module to import some data into my MMBase installation. However I've got some problems:
 
The "XML importer quickstart", dated Jan 2002, seems to be completely outdated.
 
Steps:
 
1) Downloaded the last xmlimporter build from the downloads section (dated 2004/05/29) and installed it.
 
2) Updated transactions.dtd, transactionhandler.xml, jsp pages and mmbase-xmlimporter.jar (only the jar was different, the rest were identical. BTW: The new JAR is 10KB smaller).
 
3) Checked transactionhandler.xml: Status is "active" and its classfile is "org.mmbase.applications.xmlimporter.TransactionHandler".
 
4) I couldn't find upload.jar but I think it's been replaced by commons-fileupload-1.0.jar which is in the lib directory indeed.
 
5) Created the "import" and "import/report" folders in my MMBase config directory.
 
 
I couldn't find the samples so I created a sample XML:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE transactions SYSTEM "transactions.dtd">
<transactions>
 <create>
  <createObject id="n1" type="dialecto">
   <setField name="descripcion">Dialecto nuevo 1</setField>
  </createObject>
  <createObject id="n2" type="dialecto">
   <setField name="descripcion">Dialecto nuevo 2</setField>
  </createObject>
  <createObject id="n3" type="dialecto">
   <setField name="descripcion">Dialecto nuevo 3</setField>
  </createObject>
  <createObject id="n4" type="dialecto">
   <setField name="descripcion">Dialecto nuevo 4</setField>
  </createObject>
 </create>
</transactions>
It validates ok so it has to be correct... but when I try to load it I get the following error:
 
HTTP Status 404 - nullC:\Documents and Settings\irenuncio\Escritorio\importdialectos.xml (Invalid filename)
 
��What's the null before the pathname??

I think something is not properly configured but I don't know what is, and I can't check the JUnit tests to see if XMLimporter works because I don't know where they are.
 
Any clue? Am I the only who has tried to import an XML and failed?
 
TIA,
