Doctype to be included after Mapping

[Former Member]

Hello Friends,

I am sending an IDOC to a 3rd party using HTTP adapter. I need to bring in the Doctype into the payload of the message to the 3rd party.

I required second line as

<-

<!DOCTYPE cXML SYSTEM "http://xml.cxml.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.007/cXML.dtd">

->

so can i do using the XI Message Mapping.

Thanks,

You can't do this with Message Mapping. You could use either XSL mapping or Java mapping.

XSL mapping is the easiest approach:

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

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<!-- Add the Doctype declaration -->

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="no"

doctype-system="http://xml.cxml.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.007/cXML.dtd"/>

<!-- Identity Transform - copy the source XML to the output without any changes -->

<xsl:template match="node() | @*">

<xsl:copy>

<xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>

</xsl:copy>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Unfortunately there's a bug in how the SAP XSLT processor generates the doctype tag. It doesn't do it correctly.

Therefore you would need to write a Java map to add in the doctype and call it after your first map.

Gaurav / Wolff -

I applied the XSLT mapping and got the second line added but with an extra "[]" characters at the end.

I am not sure how to remove these and also not sure if Ariba would handle these characters.

Also if have a solution using the Java map can you tell me how to solve this using java map?

Thanks,
