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

Colin.

I think this maybe do-able using XSLT.

There is a similar function within Stylus Studio which may help convert other formats to XML.
