PLEASE HELP !!!!

How to append (insert) element repetition in the default request file ?
 
I have a "default request" as below:
 
/******************* Default request before repeat ***************************
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:prod="http://xyz.ca/ebusiness/ProductServiceWrapper"
xmlns:prod1="http://xyz.ca/ebusiness/ProductService">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<prod:getDistProductDetails>
<prod:request>
<!--1 or more repetitions:-->
<prod1:ProdSet DestCountryCode="?" ContractNumber="?">
<!--Zero or more repetitions:-->
<prod1:ProductServiceId>?</prod1:ProductServiceId>
</prod1:ProdSet>
</prod:request>
</prod:getDistProductDetails>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
****************************************************************************/
 
 
Now, I need to insert (repeatedly) the element "ProductServiceId"  3 times which will look like:
 
/******************* Default request after repeat inserted *****************
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:prod="http://xyz.ca/ebusiness/ProductServiceWrapper" 
xmlns:prod1="http://xyz.ca/ebusiness/ProductService">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<prod:getDistProductDetails>
<prod:request>
<!--1 or more repetitions:-->
<prod1:ProdSet DestCountryCode="?" ContractNumber="?">
<!--Zero or more repetitions:-->
<prod1:ProductServiceId>?</prod1:ProductServiceId>
<prod1:ProductServiceId>?</prod1:ProductServiceId>
<prod1:ProductServiceId>?</prod1:ProductServiceId>
</prod1:ProdSet>
</prod:request>
</prod:getDistProductDetails>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
****************************************************************************/
 
How can I do it in Groovy ?
I have tried as below, but it is giving me an exception (I know, did something wrong  >:( )

"Mon May 26 02:32:18 EDT 2008:ERROR:groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: groovy.util.NodeList.appendNode() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String, java.lang.String) values: {"prod1:ProductServiceId", "?"}"

My code snippet is:
/********************
...
...
def root = new XmlParser().parseText(newRequest)

root["soapenv:Body"]["prod:getDistProductDetails"]["prod:request"]["prod1:ProdSet"].appendNode("prod1:ProductServiceId", "?")

def writer = new StringWriter()
new XmlNodePrinter(new PrintWriter(writer)).print(root)
def result = writer.toString()
...

Hi!

Try using GroovyUtils/XmlHolder to get the DOM node of the parent ("prod1:request"), and then use the DOMCategory to append the nodes.. something in the line of

Hope this helps!

Hi Ole:
Thanks for your help.
Your code sample worked like a magic.

But I am still having trouble to insert a node with attributes.

For example, below is the XML before inserting node with attributes (in bold):
/******************
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:prod="http://xyz.ca/ebusiness/ProductServiceWrapper" xmlns:prod1="http://xyz.ca/ebusiness/ProductService">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <prod:getDistProductDetails>
         <prod:request>
            <!--1 or more repetitions:-->
            <prod1:ProdSet DestCountryCode="?" ContractNumber="?">
               <!--Zero or more repetitions:-->
               <prod1:ProductServiceId>?</prod1:ProductServiceId>
               <prod1:ProductServiceId>?</prod1:ProductServiceId>
            </prod1:ProdSet>
         </prod:request>
      </prod:getDistProductDetails>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
*******************/

Now, I like to append the node with attributes and it should look like as below:
/****************
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:prod="http://innovapost.ca/ebusiness/ProductServiceWrapper" xmlns:prod1="http://innovapost.ca/ebusiness/ProductService">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <prod:getDistProductDetails>
         <prod:request>
            <!--1 or more repetitions:-->
            <prod1:ProdSet DestCountryCode="?" ContractNumber="?">
            <prod1:ProdSet DestCountryCode="?" ContractNumber="?">
               <!--Zero or more repetitions:-->
               <prod1:ProductServiceId>?</prod1:ProductServiceId>
               <prod1:ProductServiceId>?</prod1:ProductServiceId>
            </prod1:ProdSet>
         </prod:request>
      </prod:getDistProductDetails>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
******************/

I tried with many ways after changing the code under the use (DOMCategory) {} but nothing is working. Please give me some hints.

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

hm.. should the ProdSet node have no content initially? And should it be inserted as the first child of the request?

Hi Ole:
Thanks for your kind attention into this matter at your busy schedule.
Anyway, actually ProdSet has got the default attributes from the beginning. Here is the default request:

/**************
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:prod="http://xyz.ca/ebusiness/ProductServiceWrapper" xmlns:prod1="http://xyz.ca/ebusiness/ProductService">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <prod:getDistProductDetails>
         <prod:request>
            <!--1 or more repetitions:-->
            <prod1:ProdSet DestCountryCode="?" ContractNumber="?">
      <!--Zero or more repetitions:-->
               <prod1:ProductServiceId>?</prod1:ProductServiceId>
            </prod1:ProdSet>
         </prod:request>
      </prod:getDistProductDetails>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Hi,

sorry, I'm still not exactly sure of what you want to do here.. do you want to add a new ProdSet and contained ProductServiceId elements? Or modify the existing one in the default message? (including the attributes)

Hi Ole:
I am sorry for not explaining the problem properly, my apology  :'(
Actually, the comment line ("<!--1 or more repetitions:-->") before the element "<prod1:ProdSet" is a bit confusing.

You are most likely right (and it looks like obvious!) that the repeat of the node "<prod1:ProdSet" will include its two attributes DestCountryCode= ContractNumber= and child node "<prod1:ProductServiceId>" as well. So when I'll repeat the node "prod1:ProdSet" twice, the default request file should look like as below:

I'll confirm this with designer of the WSDL and let you know.
Thanks.

   <soapenv:Body>
      <prod:getDistProductDetails>
         <prod:request>

            <!--1 or more repetitions:-->

            <prod1:ProdSet DestCountryCode="?" ContractNumber="?">
               <!--Zero or more repetitions:-->
               <prod1:ProductServiceId>?</prod1:ProductServiceId>
            </prod1:ProdSet>

            <prod1:ProdSet DestCountryCode="?" ContractNumber="?">
               <!--Zero or more repetitions:-->
               <prod1:ProductServiceId>?</prod1:ProductServiceId>
            </prod1:ProdSet>

         </prod:request>
      </prod:getDistProductDetails>

Hi!

ok.. so the following code will add a new ProdSet with default attributes and a contained ProductServiceId:

ok?

Hi Ole:
Thanks for your help.
I works exactly the same way I wanted.
Best Regards.

hi,

I am facing a similar task. I tried your solution, but it still doesn't work:



the type of node is org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.store.Xobj$ElementXobj and not as expected of org.w3c.dom.Node...

Hi,

this type implements the org.w3c.dom.Element interface (which extends org.w3c.dom.Node), so you should be able to use it as such..
