Handling line breaks in SOAP response for address data

[alancecchini]

Hi,

I have the following block of XML returned from a web service when tested using SOAP UI:

<roomaddress>1 Esther Court

Richardson Street

Room 2 Flat 01B

Newcastle upon Tyne

NE1 2AG</roomaddress>

The data is returned with line breaks which I would like to use to format the data in the onward processing (ABAP proxy).

I've defined the element <roomaddress> as type string but this shows the data in the following format (line breaks have been replaced with spaces) in SAP PI:

<roomaddress>FRR01A1 Esther Campbell Court Richardson Road Room 1 Flat 01A Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4AG</roomaddress>

What must I do to retain the line breaks? - the documentation for this field states it is a multiline string but unfortunately the WSDL doesn't describe the data to the level of this field hence I'm unsure how to handle.

Thanks,

Alan

Hi,

Try this

<roomaddress xml:spac = 'preserve'>

Hi,

Please indicate how to apply this to the WSDL file as per the following tag:

<xsd:element name="roomaddress" type="xsd:string" />

Thanks,

Hi,

Please try giving this:

<xs:attribute name="space" default="preserve">

<xs:simpleType>

<xs:restriction base="xs:NCName">

<xs:enumeration value="default"/>

<xs:enumeration value="preserve"/>

</xs:restriction>

</xs:simpleType>

</xs:attribute>

Hi,

this is an example of hw line breaks are used and normalized by parsers. So I guess you need to adjust the WSDL or alternatively the XSD of your destination message type to use \n

Example:

<?xml version="1.0"?> \n

<Test> \n

<para xml:space="preserve">This is a \n

simple paragraph. What \n

do you think of it?</para> \n

</Test> \n

Cheers,
