Namespace in output xml file problem?

[Former Member]

Hi,

i imported an xsd in IR for developing an interface and the output was satisafactory except for a small problem in the namesapce which the file contains.

My xml file output looks like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

- <MT_OSD_FILE xmlns="http://localfile/ext" Version="123" >

-field1

-field2

But where as the required format in the naming is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

- <MT_OSD_FILE Version="123" xmlns="http://localfile/ext">

-field

-field

how to get the namespace before the version(attribute)

any ideas?

Hi Prabhas,

<MT_OSD_FILE Version="123" xmlns="http://localfile/ext"> 
OR
<MT_OSD_FILE xmlns="http://localfile/ext" Version="123">

Both are same. Because, both Version and xmlns are arrtributes. And they should be unique (which they are) and they can be in any order.

Check XML standard [Link1|http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/] Declaring Namespaces Such an attribute's name must either be xmlns or begin xmlns:. These attributes, like any other XML attributes, may be provided directly or by default.

Theoraticallly there is no difference between the required and the ouput. If you hit issue, then do Java Mapping to fix this issue.

Using Java mapping is not a big effort to fix.

HI

are we talking about complete java mapping or an UDF?

[baskar_gopalakrishnan2]

I would go for Java Mapping. You have to read the XMLDocument and look for the tag using getElementsByTagName() and update the namespace and attribute as per the requirement

Why? Do you have an issue with this?

There should not be a difference.

Hi,

>i just want my namespace to be after attrbiute

If you look to the message from a parsers view it should be the same. Attributes do not have a sequence capacity.

If you look to the message as string then there is a difference. So you need to create a not parsing mapping, the is possible with Java or ABAP, where you just replace the substring describing the root element with your wished version.

The question is here if the message receiver is using a XML parser (then it should be the same)
