XML to ABAP

[Former Member]

Hello sdn

I have a problem. I have an xml file and i want to get data from this file into an abap field (using xslt). I have tried the sxsltdemo1 and made my own version of this program. This works fine, but my realworld xml file contains some xml-schemas. This creates the problem i think. I'm not able to get data from the xml file using xslt (which is how i nedd to do it). Is there any documentation how to extract data from an xml which contains schemas.

The problem is that i need to get an xml-field which is encoded in base64 into a abap field.

the problem is also that the xml contains namespaces

Did you try ABAP class <b>cl_xml_document</b>? It has <b>parse</b> method which should convert your source document into a hierarchical representation. I tried it in the opposite way, from ABAP to XML.

You can definetely do this with <b>cl_xml_document</b>.

Suppose you have already created proper structure of the document in an instance of <b>cl_xml_document</b>. Then you can render an xml strucuture into arbitrary internal table with <b>render2table</b> method and then transfer the table to any file on Application Server with old good statements OPEN DATASET and TRANSFER.

Hello,

you need to parse your XML File into a Document Object

Model (DOM) using the iXML Parser.

Then you can use the DOM API to copy selected nodes

to a separate DOM (the nodes you are interested).

This new DOM you can transform into an ABAP data structure

using the statement

call transformation id...

Class CL_APL_ECATT_XML has a method for parsing

an XML (XML_TO_DOM).
