Hi All, I have a workflow that extracts xml files from a servlet and transforms the data within using the XPATH actor. It has been working very well until I have tried to import 2 elements from the site. The only difference between the URL in question and the working URL is the use of "|" (separating max|avg). If I download the xml file with both elements and use the absolute address to the file on the local machine the workflow works fine (extracting both the avg and max data as required), so I am sure the problem is at the URL to local file actor.
I would appreciate any guidance Cheers Trina The error message: ptolemy.kernel.util.IllegalActionException: Cannot read file 'http://data.aims.gov.au/awsqaqc/XmlDataServlet?fromDate=2008-02-01T00:00:00 &thruDate=2008-02-10T00:00:00&stations=4&agperiod=day&agFunct=max|avg&vars=4 h&dataLevel=level0&bleach=0&vers=2' in .test_url.URL To Local File.fileOrURL Because: Problem with URI format in 'http://data.aims.gov.au/awsqaqc/XmlDataServlet?fromDate=2008-02-01T00:00:00 &thruDate=2008-02-10T00:00:00&stations=4&agperiod=day&agFunct=max|avg&vars=4 h&dataLevel=level0&bleach=0&vers=2'. and 'http://data.aims.gov.au/awsqaqc/XmlDataServlet?fromDate=2008-02-01T00:00:00 &thruDate=2008-02-10T00:00:00&stations=4&agperiod=day&agFunct=max|avg&vars=4 h&dataLevel=level0&bleach=0&vers=2' This can happen if the file name is not absoluteand is not present relative to the directory in which the specified model was read (which was 'file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Trina/Desktop/THESIS_wORKFLOWS/Hypothes isTest_Reef/AIMS_REALTIME/test_url.xml') at ptolemy.data.expr.FileParameter.asURL(FileParameter.java:216) at util.URLToLocalFile._openAndReadBytes(URLToLocalFile.java:226) at util.URLToLocalFile.fire(URLToLocalFile.java:166) at ptolemy.actor.AtomicActor.iterate(AtomicActor.java:398) at ptolemy.actor.sched.StaticSchedulingDirector.fire(StaticSchedulingDirector.j ava:170) at ptolemy.actor.CompositeActor.fire(CompositeActor.java:400) at ptolemy.actor.Manager.iterate(Manager.java:688) at ptolemy.actor.Manager.execute(Manager.java:332) at ptolemy.actor.Manager.run(Manager.java:1071) at ptolemy.actor.Manager$3.run(Manager.java:1112) Caused by: java.io.IOException: Problem with URI format in 'http://data.aims.gov.au/awsqaqc/XmlDataServlet?fromDate=2008-02-01T00:00:00 &thruDate=2008-02-10T00:00:00&stations=4&agperiod=day&agFunct=max|avg&vars=4 h&dataLevel=level0&bleach=0&vers=2'. and 'http://data.aims.gov.au/awsqaqc/XmlDataServlet?fromDate=2008-02-01T00:00:00 &thruDate=2008-02-10T00:00:00&stations=4&agperiod=day&agFunct=max|avg&vars=4 h&dataLevel=level0&bleach=0&vers=2' This can happen if the file name is not absoluteand is not present relative to the directory in which the specified model was read (which was 'file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Trina/Desktop/THESIS_wORKFLOWS/Hypothes isTest_Reef/AIMS_REALTIME/test_url.xml') at ptolemy.util.FileUtilities.nameToURL(FileUtilities.java:356) at ptolemy.data.expr.FileParameter.asURL(FileParameter.java:213) ... 9 more Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at java.net.URI.create(Unknown Source) at java.net.URI.resolve(Unknown Source) at ptolemy.util.FileUtilities.nameToURL(FileUtilities.java:353) ... 10 more Caused by: java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in query at index 140: http://data.aims.gov.au/awsqaqc/XmlDataServlet?fromDate=2008-02-01T00:00:00&;
