Mapping flat xml file to xml Structure

[Former Member]

Hi all,

i have to map an xml file, wich is incoming via a RFC call in a flat import field, to a xml-Structure. The xml Structure has the same Structure except that it is not flat but even as a xml-Structure in the Repository. Ist ther a way to make a 1:1 - Mapping?

Hi Matthias,

congratulation for your talent to explain easy things maximal complex

I assume you could use XSL with <xsl:copy-of select="/myNSPrefix:myRootelm/*"/>.

Assumedly the rootelement cant be copied coz of namespace.

Is there no way using message mapping?

Hi,

This can be done very easily using Java Mapping.

Parse the flat xml String using Dom4j and directly set this as the target structure.

eg code:

public void execute(InputStream in, OutputStream out) throws StreamTransformationException{

String flatXml = "the flat xml string";
Document doc = DocumentHelper.parseText(flatXml) ;

out.write(doc.asXML().getBytes());

}

Mathias,

You mean the source and target structures are different. In that case you have do manually one by one.

But if you have both same structures then you have an option in message mapping.

Yes this are the same structures.

How to map? To which node shall I link the incoming field(flat xml-File) to the other xml-Message?
