Converting String to XMLDataType

[Former Member]

As title, is there any way I can convert a String to XMLDataType?

I tried to assign it and I tried to type-cast it but it wouldn't let me do either one.

XMLDataType _XML;

String _stringXML = "<?xml version='1.0' ?> <text> Hello </text>";

_XML = _stringXML;

OR

_XML = (XMLDataType) _stringXML;

Thank you.

Tim,

Just for clarification my assumption is that this is Java code inside of your custom action...

The XMLDataType is based off of the org.w3c.dom.Document class and can be created by the following:

String _stringXML = "<?xml version='1.0' ?> <text> Hello </text>";

Document w3Doc = XMLHandler.createDocument(_stringXML);

XMLDataType xmlDoc = new XMLDataType(w3Doc);

The XMLHandler class is located here:

com.sap.lhcommon.xml.XMLHandler;

Hope this helps.
