Re: CFMX 7 XmlSearch on IIS 6 metabase
cfset results = XmlSearch(metabaseXMLObject,/configuration) Gets me nothing (note: there is also a simple parse, file read, and dump surrounding this code). Dumping metabaseXMLObject gives me the full XML object. I'm able to loop through elements such as IIsWebServer as an array as expected. I am not familiar with IIS 6 Metabase format, but I guess it could use namespaces and this could make your XPath fails. I would suggest to check your XPath experission first, using a dedicated tool like: http://www.purpletech.com/xpe/index.jsp http://www.topxml.com/xpathvisualizer/ Massimo Foti Tools for ColdFusion and Dreamweaver developers: http://www.massimocorner.com ~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:208936 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Re: CFMX 7 XmlSearch on IIS 6 metabase
Unfortunately I can't use those tools at my current location. cfset results = XmlSearch(metabaseXMLObject,//configuration) Also returns no results. There is a namespace reference in the configuration node configuration xmlns=urn:microsoft-catalog:XML_Metabase_V54_0 And removing the xmlns attribute appears to provide me the results that I was expecting... How is this typically handled? - Calvin On 6/8/05 8:17 AM, Massimo Foti [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: cfset results = XmlSearch(metabaseXMLObject,/configuration) Gets me nothing (note: there is also a simple parse, file read, and dump surrounding this code).

Re: CFMX 7 XmlSearch on IIS 6 metabase
Unfortunately I can't use those tools at my current location. This one is just a set of HTML and JavaScript files that run inside IE (there is a Mozilla version too): http://www.topxml.com/xpathvisualizer/ There is a namespace reference in the configuration node configuration xmlns=urn:microsoft-catalog:XML_Metabase_V54_0 And removing the xmlns attribute appears to provide me the results that I was expecting... How is this typically handled? An empty namespace can be quite tricky with XPath 1.0, since it's not namespace aware. In this specific case I guess the semicolons inside the namespace make things even harder.

Re: CFMX 7 XmlSearch on IIS 6 metabase
I have installation restrictions where I'm at right now :( Well, my short term fix was to replace that xmlns attribute in its entirety with nothing using ReplaceNoCase. That of course feels very clunky and not future proof at all! After doing that all of my xpath queries worked great. - Calvin On 6/8/05 9:24 AM, Massimo Foti [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Unfortunately I can't use those tools at my current location.

I have installation restrictions where I'm at right now :( There is nothing to install inside xpathvisualizer, just unzip and open an html file inside your browser Well, my short term fix was to replace that xmlns attribute in its entirety with nothing using ReplaceNoCase. That of course feels very clunky and not future proof at all! After doing that all of my xpath queries worked great. Glad to hear you at least sorted it for the short term.

I know, but the restriction extends to placing anything from external sources on the workstation. - Calvin On 6/8/05 9:39 AM, Massimo Foti [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have installation restrictions where I'm at right now :( There is nothing to install inside xpathvisualizer, just unzip and open an html file inside your browser Well, my short term fix was to replace that xmlns attribute in its entirety with nothing using ReplaceNoCase.
