Adding comment line in XML message

[Former Member]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to add a comment line in outgoing XML message from XI? Using graphical mapping or java or adapter module?

Something like .....

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>

<! this is a comment>

<record>

Thanks

You can write below statement in simple java mapping

As you want to insert comment before <record>

read entire source structure in string strXMLSource

finalString = strXMLSource.replaceAll("<record>", "<!-- this is a comment--><record>");

in out.write statement pass finalString....

No need to write any parser, just write simple code in execute method

You can transform your XML with an XSLT transformation:

<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:output encoding="utf-8" indent="no" method="xml" version="1.0"/>

<xsl:param name="COMMENT"/>

<xsl:preserve-space elements="*"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:comment>

<xsl:value-of select="$COMMENT"/>

</xsl:comment>

<xsl:copy>

<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>

</xsl:copy>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">

<xsl:copy>

<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>

</xsl:copy>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:transform>

Some more complications in the requirement

Hi Pushpinder,

depends on the kind of mapping you process:

1) graphical mapping: not possible

2) xsl-mapping: use <xsl:comment>

3) JAVA-Mapping: Insert a comment-node to the target structure

3) ABAP-Mapping: Insert a comment-node to the target structure

Thanks to all who replied!!

I am very near to the solution. In the comment I need to pick up the first tag of the xml dynamically.

Say in place of <record> it could be specific to interface, then how to do it?

Please help

Thanks

Hi Pushpinder,

Can you explain exactly what you are looking for with one example. It can be very well done using Java Mapping.

Hi,

I have to add a comment line in the target xml like:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>

<!DOCTYPE RMS_MODEL SYSTEM 'RMS_Model.dtd'>

<RMS_MODEL>

<DIVISION Value="2"/>

<RMS_RANGE Value="0801"/>

<WORKING_NO Value="S8153219"/>

<MODEL_NO/>

<MODEL_NAME/>

<CARRY_OVER/>

i am able to achieve the above.

But in my message mapping I am using multi mapping, so after the message mapping the target structure looks something like:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>

<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge"><ns0:Message1>

<!DOCTYPE RMS_MODEL SYSTEM 'RMS_Model.dtd'>

<RMS_MODEL>

<DIVISION Value="2"/>

<RMS_RANGE Value="0801"/>

<WORKING_NO Value="S8153219"/>

<MODEL_NO/>

<MODEL_NAME/>

<CARRY_OVER/>

now, is it possible to add a comment line as shown in this example?Or is it preferable to use an adapter module?

Thanks

Hey Pushpinder,

It should be possible without using a adapter module. Just give it a try and let me know. Don't worry about Messages and Message1.

Hi Amit,

But it will make a difference as the messages will be split after the message mapping. So how java mapping going to handle it?

I have tried deploying the java code but it is not inserting the comment line in the final message.
