Thank you for your help

Samuel,
As Swaroop noted there is nothing built in that I am aware of. Here are some ideas you can also try:

• Use an SQL query to do the conversion.
• Use an xsl transform, possibly calling some static java methods.
• Develop a custom action

What is your use case?

Brilliant suggestion Chris!! I personally liked SQL one.

Thanks!!

Thanks for the reply.

Though technically that may work but I would never call SQL to do some Business logic there.

I find that writing a custom Action block in Java is the most convenient.

I also tried XSLT and it is working

Anyway that is bad that there is no such an Action block to do such a conversions.

Hopefully that will come in future release.

Thanks for the forum

It may not be the best solution for your particular issue but in general I would never say never.

You could always share your custom Action with the forum.

Hi Sam,

We do not have a built in function to help you in your case. You may have a look on JS based conversions or some api that you can integrate.
