Return As XML in a UDF

[former_member189354]

I have a requirement where I need to achieve the functionality of Return As XML for an output of UDF. UDF outputs XML in string format where I am mapping to a cloned node ( Duplicate Subtree). UDF XML Output automatically encapsulating in CDATA where I require to be return As XML. Is there anyway I can achieve this. Appreciate for your response for the same.

Thank you,

Rao

Hi Rao!

Wouldn't you please provide an example of your UDF output and your desired result structure?

Hi Rao!

You can try something like this:

UDF:

public String addSubTree(String inputTree, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{

StructureNode node = (StructureNode)(container.getParameter("STRUCTURE_NODE"));
node.setPreValue(inputTree);

return "";

I've passed xml fragments as constants to simplify mapping. You should remove CDATA tag and xml header string from your source string and pass it as parameter to UDF.

Also remove ObjectEvent tag as well.

Hi Evgeniy,

This is awesome.

Output of UDF GetQuery is xml in string format. When I am assigning it to ObjectEvent element its getting encapsulating in CDATA. Where I want return As XML functionality. Appreciate for your response.
