CL_GUI_XML_EDITOR or Internet Explorer to render XML in SAP GUI?

[Former Member]

We are trying to render an XML document (just like Internet Explorer opens the XML document) within the SAP GUI. We have stored the XML in the application server - we can load this into the DOM and iterate through it and print out the elements and values, etc.

Within SAP GUI, is it possible to load the XML through the internet explorer ActiveX control? XI does this in SXMB_MONI.

I can't find any documentation on CL_GUI_XML_EDITOR.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Jay

Hello Jay

The class <b>CL_GUI_XML_EDITOR</b> is intended for displaying and editing eCATT related XML. However, it can be used as a general XML editor.

The following sample report shows two ways of displaying XML in SAP. Perhaps it may be useful for you.

Thanks Uwe,

This is very helpful. I will try out the code. We intended up using the CL_GUI_HTML_CONTROL which can load the XML document. But i will use the the CL_GUI_XML_EDITOR to provide the editing capabilities

You can use the following methods too:

cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download

and

cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute

to display your xml document
