Convert XML Subelements to String

[Former Member]

I have to submit a request to a web service that takes a string element that is actually xml; but of unspecified schema thus the string. But, I will have the XML and will need to convert it to a string and wrap it in a CDATA element. Is there a transform function or simple XSLT that can do this for me?

Hi Carlton,

But, I will have the XML and will need to convert it to a string

This part is already answered by the posters above

and wrap it in a CDATA element. 

Use a constant along with concat to wrap the cdata. For example:

Constant1: <![CDATA[

Constant2: ]]>

Hi Carlton,

Adding to Raghu's reply, map root node to the target field and return as xml and replace the xml definition like below.

You wish to convert entire XML to string.

Try with Return as XML option in the mapping.
