I am new to datapower, so I am sorry its silly question.
I have create one flow in datapower whose request and response type is Non-XML.
when I try to post an XML to my flow I am getting following error.
Convert HTTP produced invalid XML: mismatched tag, expected employed_by at offset
here is the sample request XML :-
...
<emp_status type="employed" />
<employed_by>abc & company</employed_by>
<work_phone_no>XXXXX</work_phone_no>
<years_employed>10</years_employed>
<months_employed>10</months_employed>
...
but If I remove & from the request XML then my flow works fine.
If it is query string then &-sign is %26 and not &!
If it is non-xml you are going for I'd recommend using GatewayScript instead for all parsing!

I am trying to send a byte array through POST using Node-RED. I can successfully create the buffer using this module and storing it in msg.payload. However I can't figure out how to add it as a parameter in a http request node.
The receiving application requires enclosing quotes. So I use the payload in the following url: localhost:port/path?var=\"{{payload}}\", but it gives
"Error converting http params to args: invalid character '\' looking for beginning of value"
If using it in the request url without quotes: localhost:port/path?var={{payload}} nothing gets through (I can see on the other end).
I am using Protobuf due to the application on the other side, but I've also tried creating a buffer, as described here. However, nothing changes.
POSTs should not have arguments in the URL. The data should all be in the body.
Do you need to make the msg.payload an object with keys matching the arg names.
msg.payload = {
var = [buffer]
}
You will probably have to play around with the content-type header as by default I believe Node-RED will send a JSON body and you probably want application/x-www-form-urlencoded
You can set the headers by adding a msg.headers object
I am creating a web api using asp.net mvc4 and the response output is xml. Before outuptting to browser I modify the xml response so that one of the values between the start and closing tags contain a url string which may have '&'
When outputting in browser, this generates an error that xml is not well formed.
I have read from How to show & in a XML attribute That would be produced by XSLT that one can use D-O-E to generate unescaped content using xslt
but dont know how this could apply for xml generated from a string and displayed in browser
You should encode the & as
&
which is understood by XML (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references#Predefined%5Fentities%5Fin%5FXML)
Another alternative would be to surround the output in a CDATA tag (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2784183/what-does-cdata-in-xml-mean)
I am trying to access the following info using FQL in c# .However am getting an HTTP bad request error
string Frnds = api.Get("/fql?q=SELECT+uid+name+username+locale+affiliations+timezone+birthday+sex+proxied_email+current_location+FROM+user+WHERE+uid=me()");
Is there some problem with my query , It seems to look fine to me ?
Have you tried separating each field name with a comma (,) then urlencoding it
you can test out your query here - please note in the following link I added in ","
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer?method=GET&path=fql%3Fq%3DSELECT%20uid%2C%20name%2C%20username%2C%20locale%2C%20affiliations%2C%20timezone%2C%20birthday%2C%20sex%2C%20proxied_email%20%2Ccurrent_location%20FROM%20user%20WHERE%20uid%3Dme%28%29
your query can't parse the fields correctly

I have a Biztalk orchestration that posts to a http site. the response that comes back is of xmlDocument type, but it only contains a 0, no html/xml at all. All I want to do is set that 0 to a string or something to output it, but I cannot use any of the xmldocument functions because the xml is not well formed, and I cant use maps because there is no schema to work with. Trying to use any xml function returns an "invalid root level" error.
You can use a string variable and use Xpath to set the value from the response message in an Expression Shape.
You can use a XMLDocument Message and create it in an Assign Shape. You can assign the string variable to an element in the message.
You might look at using a Pipeline Component to wrap the response - e.g. have a look at the Flat File samples here
I'm breaking my head over this for a while now and I have no clue what I do wrong.
The scenario is as followed, I'm using swfupload to upload files with a progressbar
via a webservice. the webservice needs to return the name of the generated thumbnail.
This all goes well and though i prefer to get the returned data in json (might change it later in the swfupload js files) the default xml data is fine too.
So when an upload completes the webservice returns the following xml as expected (note I removed the namespace in webservice):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<string>myfile.jpg</string>
Now I want to parse this result with jquery and thought the following would do it:
var xml = response;
alert($(xml).find("string").text());
But I cannot get the string value. I've tried lots of combinations (.html(), .innerhtml(), response.find("string").text() but nothing seems to work. This is my first time trying to parse xml via jquery so maybe I'm doing something fundemantally wrong. The 'response' is populated with the xml.
I hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks for your time.
Kind regards,
Mark
I think $(xml) is looking for a dom object with a selector that matches the string value of XML, so I guess it's coming back null or empty?
The First Plugin mentioned below xmldom looks pretty good, but if your returned XML really is as simply as your example above, a bit of string parsing might be quicker, something like:
var start = xml.indexOf('<string>') + 8;
var end = xml.indexOf('</string>');
var resultstring = xml.substring(start, end);
From this answer to this question: How to query an XML string via DOM in jQuery
Quote:
There are a 2 ways to approach this.
Convert the XML string to DOM, parse it using this plugin or follow this tutorial
Convert the XML to JSON using this plugin.
jQuery cannot parse XML. If you pass a string full of XML content into the $ function it will typically try to parse it as HTML instead using standard innerHTML. If you really need to parse a string full of XML you will need browser-specific and not-globally-supported methods like new DOMParser and the XMLDOM ActiveXObject, or a plugin that wraps them.
But you almost never need to do this, since an XMLHttpRequest should return a fully-parsed XML DOM in the responseXML property. If your web service is correctly setting a Content-Type response header to tell the browser that what's coming back is XML, then the data argument to your callback function should be an XML Document object and not a string. In that case you should be able to use your example with find() and text() without problems.
If the server-side does not return an XML Content-Type header and you're unable to fix that, you can pass the option type: 'xml' in the ajax settings as an override.
