Re: Query on http_parse_xml_string

[Alan Campin <alan0307d@xxxxxxxxx>]

   The &amp is the same as putting an & in the xml because & are special
   characters I believe. The problem is that I don't think the EXPAT
   parser that Scott uses recognizes the & special strings like &quot,
   etc.
   When I dealt with problem it put the xml to a stream file and used
   XML-SAX to parse it and that recognized the special characters. I think
   this may be occurring because you have an xml file embedded inside the
   main file so you have to extract the files from inside and then parse
   it separately. This is not a problem if the resulting file is
   relatively small. It gets trickee if the file embedded inside is very
   big and won't fit in a variable. Then you need to write to a stream
   file.
   Would need to see the entire XML.

       Hi,
       I have a question regarding the parsing of special character's in
     XML.
       I am using "http_parse_xml_string" to parse the XML string. Please
     see
       the
       code below
       xmlError = http_parse_xml_string(%addr(xmlData.@xmlData_Data):
         xmlData.@xmlData_Len: 0: *null: xmlHandler: *null) <> 0;
       if xmlError;
         xmlAddRootAndElement(Process: ERROR: http_error());
       endif;
       The XML data which I am sending has the below tag which has
     special
       character "&". The character is formatted as "&amp;" as shown
     below
       <Text>Replace engine oil &amp; other parts</Text>
       The error which is returned from http_parse_xml_string is as below
       XML parse failed at line 1, col 349: undefined entity
       When I tried with the below data
       <Text>Replace engine oil & other parts</Text>
       I get the error as
       XML parse failed at line 1, col 350: not well-formed (invalid
     token)
       Please let me know if I am following some incorrect process.
     Thanks for
       your help.
       Regards,
       Abhijit
