Read XML from a String

[Former Member]

Hi, I have called a Web Service that return an XML Sting. This is the abap code:

REPORT  zprova_proxy line-SIZE 1000.

DATA: proxy TYPE REF TO zco_service1soap.
DATA: intab  TYPE zget_dati_vestiariosoap_in.
DATA: output TYPE zget_dati_vestiariosoap_out.
DATA : sys_fault TYPE REF TO cx_ai_system_fault.


CREATE OBJECT proxy
  EXPORTING
    logical_port_name = 'PORTA'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
  TRY.
      CALL METHOD proxy->get_dati_vestiario
        EXPORTING
          input  = intab
        IMPORTING
          output = output.
    CATCH cx_ai_system_fault .
      CREATE OBJECT sys_fault.
      WRITE :/ 'error at level 1', sys_fault->errortext.
      EXIT.
    CATCH cx_ai_application_fault .
  ENDTRY.



ENDIF.


WRITE /: output-get_dati_vestiarioresult.

When I write the output field I have an XML String.

Now I want to access XML tags "<elenco></elenco>" of my String and fill an internal table. How can I do it?

Help me please. THANKS

You need to create a XSLT Transformation and call that by passing your XML string and get the internal table.

DATA: lf_string TYPE string.
DATA: xml_string TYPE string.

lf_string = 'This single variable test'.

TRY.

* This call gets me the XML data. You need to skip this as you 
* already have the XML string
    CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest_np_xml2data
      SOURCE if_test = lf_string
      RESULT XML xml_string.

    CLEAR lf_string.

    CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest_np_xml2data
      SOURCE XML xml_string
      RESULT if_test = lf_string.

  CATCH cx_st_error.

ENDTRY.

Transformation ZTEST_NP_XML2DATA

<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform template="temp"
    xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates"
    version="0.1">

  <tt:root name="IF_TEST"/>

  <tt:template name="temp">
    <Test>
        <tt:value ref="IF_TEST" />
    </Test>
  </tt:template>

</tt:transform>
