Convert binary data (TIFF image) into XML - how ?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have the following requirement:

1. A document is scanned and a TIFF image is saved in a directory

2. The File adapter picks up the image file and sends into XI

3. The binary data is converted into XML so a Web Service can be called (this web service will store the image in a database application)

<b>The part I am struggling with is the convert of the incoming binary data into a XML format document which will allow the Web Service to be called.</b>

Graphical mapping cannot be used therefore I am left with 3 options:

1. XSLT mapping

2. Java mapping

3. ABAP mapping

Can anyone suggest the best option to use in these circumstances and provide some sample snippet of code on how to do it.

I am alright at XSLT mapping but this is beyond me and Java mapping is completely new to me as I have very limited Java knowledge.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

This does not describe what I want to do. This explains how to process and image file and convert it to another format - for example BMP to TIFF.

This does not explain how to convert the binary data into XML - which is what I need.

Kind regards

Colin.

Colin,

I dont think standard adapters can be used for this requirement. Conversion Agent or other such tools may help you out here. But I dont have any experience with these tools
