Question | We would like to be able to process xml documents where simple
element fields has an attribute.
e.g. <amount currency="USD">10</amount> How do I model this using TransacXML |
Answer | Websydian TransacXML does not support the modelling of xml
documents with simple elements holding one or more attributes.
This will be supported in future releases, for current releases check the workaround below. |
Workaround | The workaround requires you to call a number of DOM functions
located in the WSYDOM library.
For the entity scoping the element field with the attribute add a field to the fields functions making sure that this field does NOT inherit from either ElementField or AttributeField. Then add a has field triple to the entity. The newly created field has to have the implementation name of the attribute and will hold the value of the attribute.
Altering the SingleFetch function In the Edit Point "End find child element with name" of the
SingleFetch being performed to retrieve the values, add code to
retrieve the attribute.
Set the data field to hold the value = output from the getAttribute
Altering the UpdateRow and InsertRow function
Where AttrbuteName is the name of the attribute to add "currency" and the AttributeValue is the value of the currency field. |
