String to XML

Former Member — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 10:22:11 GMT

Hi Guys,

I have implemented a WS that recieves an XML serialized as a string.

Once i get this string i want to convert it to XML format.

Any idea?

Thanks

You have to parse the string into XML. Check the instance method PARSE_STRING of class CL_XML_DOCUMENT.

Check my reply in this thread:

When you parse the string the attribute M_DOCUMENT gets updated.

DATA: lv TYPE sysubrc.
*type-pools: ixml.
class CL_XML_DOCUMENT definition load.
DATA: OBJ type REF TO cl_xml_document.
CREATE OBJECT OBJ.


  CALL METHOD OBJ->PARSE_STRING
    EXPORTING
       STREAM  = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?><ARTICULOS><ARTICULO><ACCION>D</ACCION></ARTICULO></ARTICULOS>'
    RECEIVING
      RETCODE = lv.

this is my code, my string has XNL tabs and i want to know where is it parsed.

i want to know where is the xml generated

XML is not physically generated. In layman's language the XML is saved as the attribute M_DOCUMENT.

Just add the line obj->display( ) at the end of your code, you can see the XML document generated from the string
