RE: passing xml as a string to XML Beans

[Larner, Ross S]

Jacob,

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I don't want to change the schema, I just want to be able to provide structured data in the statusMessage element. I think I may have found the solution, referenced in the thread:

http://www.mail-archive.com/user@xmlbeans.apache.org/msg00789.html

 

wherein all the tags are converted to their entity equivalents, e.g. < becomes &lt;

 

Does anyone know of a way to set the limit at which XMLBeans switches to CDATA to be unlimited?

 

Thanks,

Ross

Hi Ross,

It appears as though you are trying to add elements to Status message. Is this correct?

Since you have already compiled the schema and are creating XML for the type docAckHdr, I believe what you are trying to do in this code fragment will cause your xml instance to fail validation.

If you wish to have elements in your Status Message type, they should be defined in the schema. I think your schema probably looks something like:

<xs:element name="StatusMessage" type="xs:string"/>

you may want to consider changing it to

<xs:element name="StatusMessage" type="tns:errorType">

or something to this affect where you are going to define the shape of the XML you are expecting.

 

But in answer to your query, you are seeing this because you are setting the value for an xs:string type. Strings should follow entitization rules and that is why you are seeing what you are seeing below.

 

My suggestion is to modify your schema, but if you wish to add true elements in StatusMessage (and fail xsd validation) you can do so easily via the XmlCursor and/or DOM APIs. For example,

DocAckHdr.newDomNode();

 

Good luck,

-Jacobd

I am a new user of XMLBeans, previously having used XMLSpy to build Java to XML helper classes.. I am having trouble passing XML strings to XMLBeans. When I try to set a string field (statusMessage) to:

                docAckHdr.addStatusMessage("<error><type>BadSku</type></error>");

 

the output is:

<statusMessage>&lt;error>&lt;type>BadSku&lt;/type>&lt;/error></statusMessage>

 

the first weird thing is that the > is not converted to &gt; , but it gets weirder. When I try to add a third xml element:

                docAckHdr.addStatusMessage("<error><type>BadSku</type><mess>Abadskunumber</mess></error>");

the output is:

<statusMessage><![CDATA[<error><type>BadSku</type><mess>Abadskunumber</mess></error>]]></statusMessage>

 

I don't want the CDATA tag. Is there a way to turn it off? And how do I get the greater than symbol to convert? This same statement worked well in XMLSpy.

 

 

Thanks,

Ross
