RE: passing XML document as input parameter

[Ken Tam]

Hi all,

 

There are quite a few postings on this topic. Another (preferred) alternative is to pass XML as an attachment.

 

Regards,

Ken

Don't forget you might have xml as:

 

"<formula>X &lt; Y</formula>"

 

Now, if you process this string and make:

 

"&lt;formula>X &lt; Y&lt;/formula>"

 

When you reverse it, you will get:

 

"<formula>X < Y</formula>"

 

which is incorrect.

 

So, you will need more escaping than just "<".

Hi Dies,

 

Thank you! You are right. In fact I can do that :-). Just need to replace all "&lt;" by "<".

Hello Xinjun,

Just use a String type field.
Axis will replace the '<'s and '>'s in your XML with '&lt;'s resp.
'&gt;'s, making it valid XML content.
