Import XML file into ABAP WD

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there any way to upload an XML file into ABAP WD?

I just saw a blog for Java WD.

<a href="/people/johann.marty/blog/2006/10/03/create-a-web-dynpro-tree-from-an-xml-file:///people/johann.marty/blog/2006/10/03/create-a-web-dynpro-tree-from-an-xml-file

Is there a similar facility in ABAP WD?

Regards,

Haresh.

Hi Haresh,

The ui element FileUpload exists in WDA as well. You still need to implement the xml->tree structure conversion though. For parsing an xml file in ABAP you can use sXML, iXML or XSLT.

Hi Haresh,

Well, you could iterate through the DOM tree of the XML using sXML or iXML and created corresponding context nodes. With XSLT you could transform the XML file into one or more internal tables and then create the context nodes out of it. There is extensive documentation available regarding XML processing in ABAP. Specific questions should be posted to the ABAP forum as the true experts in this area have their home there.

Best regards,

Thomas

There is a command in ABAP to extract data from XML files. CALL TRANSFORMATION....

Check out Transaction code SSTDEMO2.
