Access XML in java embedding in oracle SOA 11g

User_EWWE4

We are using SOA 11g. 11.1.1.7.0

I am trying to access the XML in java embedding instead of single xml element. But it is showing only values without tags when i print in logs.

I have variable "inputName" string that has the data as below

<inputName xmlns:def="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="def:string"><orderactivity><order><ordersource>EDI</ordersource><ordertype>NA SPECIAL</ordertype><ponum>151255553384-5000244</ponum><status>A</status><orderdate>01/25/21</orderdate><customernum>5000244</customernum><shiptoloc>5000244</shiptoloc><custpo>151253384</custpo><jobname>665619208 test</jobname><fob>PP</fob> </order></orderactivity>]]></inputName></inputName>

I tried to get this variable in java embedding as below

try{

XMLElement inputParam = (XMLElement)getVariableData("inputName");     

String input_str = inputParam.getTextContent();

addAuditTrailEntry("Input String is " + input_stream);     

}catch(Exception exc) {                                      

addAuditTrailEntry(exc);                                      

}

This is what it prints in logs. it is printing all the values without xml tags.

Input String is EDINA SPECIAL151253384-5000244A01/25/2150002445000244151253384665619208 test

How to access the whole xml payload in java embedding. Am looking at the desired output as below with XML tags.

<inputName xmlns:def="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="def:string"><orderactivity><order><ordersource>EDI</ordersource><ordertype>NA SPECIAL</ordertype><ponum>151255553384-5000244</ponum><status>A</status><orderdate>01/25/21</orderdate><customernum>5000244</customernum><shiptoloc>5000244</shiptoloc><custpo>151253384</custpo><jobname>665619208 test</jobname><fob>PP</fob> </order></orderactivity>]]></inputName></inputName>

Hi, You could convert the XML to String and check in logs.

Thanks!

Hi,

I think it's better (that is I find it more convenient) to create string based variables (or andere scalar types) for all the elements you want to access. Then you can do assigns in BPEL to them. And simply use the variable directly. Only need to cast them to String.

This prevents you from creating error-prone xpath expressions in java embedding. If you need more complex message handling in java, use a spring context: https://blog.darwin-it.nl/2018/09/zipping-is-easy-in-javaspringsoasuite.html

Kind regards,
