Simple Transformation Exception

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am tying to map XML to ABAP(deserialize) but receive a CX_ST_MATCH_ELEMENT Exception.

Below is my Simple Transformation, the calling method, and the XML snippet I am tying to deserialize.

-

---

<?sap.transform simple?>

<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">

<tt:root name="ROOT"/>

<tt:template>

<SndgInst>

<tt:value ref="ROOT"/>

</SndgInst>

</tt:template>

</tt:transform>

-

---

method PARSE_XML.

DATA:

sndginst(10) type c value ' ',

l_exception_error TYPE REF TO cx_st_error.

• parse the xml content

TRY.

CLEAR: l_exception_error.

CALL TRANSFORMATION (i_st_name)

SOURCE XML i_xml_string

RESULT root = sndginst.

• catch exception

CATCH: cx_st_error INTO l_exception_error.

ENDTRY.

endmethod.

<S2SCTScf:SndgInst ymlns:S2SCTScf="urn:S2SCTScf:xsd:$SCTScfBlkCredTrf">ZYDOFRP0</S2SCTScf:SndgInst>

I have tried adding a reference for the namespace 'S2SCTScf' but receive the same exception.

I think it must have something to do with the namespace prefix and I have tried several different versions of the Simple transformation, such as <S2SCTSCF:SndgInst> as my tag reference, to no avail.

The exception class does not provide a lot of useful information and since you cannot debug a Simple Transformation it is a guessing game.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best Regards,

I've exactly the same problem.

My XML Input Stream contains Namespaces in the root element for e.g.

<Measurement xmlns="es.xxx.com" xmlns:ns2="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:ns3="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">

The Simple Transformation always raise an CX_ST_MATCH_ELEMENT Exception.

If i delete the xmlns declarations, the Element will be found and everything is o.k.

I've also tried to avoid this by adding the tt:extensible="deep-dynamic" attribute but it doesn't matter.

<tt:template>

<Measurement tt:extensible="deep-dynamic">

I use WebAS 6.40, ERP 2004.

I hope the Community could help us. Maybe it's bug in the XML Libraries.. etc..

Kind Regards

Chris

Unfortunately the threads above didn't contain any solution - has nobody found this problem? If you got an external xml file , you always have namespace declarations in the root tag.

any other ideas?
