Greetings! I'm looking for any assistance in developing a DFDL schema which handles a particular use case. The schema needs to process a data block which is primarily fixed format binary data, but also has embedded XML content of a known fixed length within it.
We are looking to develop a DFDL schema which is capable of parsing and un-parsing a mixed format data block so that the embedded XML content is output as straight XML when parsing, and then serialized back to character data when being un-parsed. In the example below, we want to convert "TEXT" into an integer value, "DATA" into an integer value, and then simply leave "<element1><element2>3</element2></element1>" as XML. Note that the XML content is a known fixed length string. For example: Given the following input data... TEXTDATA<element1><element2>3</element2></element1> Create a DFDL schema that outputs the following XML... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ns1:INTEGER1>1413830740</ns1:INTEGER1> <ns1:INTEGER2>1145132097</ns1:INTEGER2> <element1> <element2>3</element2> </element1> What we currently can do... At the moment we can parse the entire embedded XML content into a string, but the problem is that DFDL is outputting the XML as escaped XML, and we want it to output un-escaped XML. For example we want it to output This: <element1><element2>3</element2></element1> Instead of this: <element1><element2>3</element2></element1> Thanks, Brandon Busuttil The Boeing Company | BDS | Autonomous Systems Software Engineer, Maritime Undersea ** This transmission is intended only for the use of the individual(s), firm, or company to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged and/or confidential.
