How to get the child nodes from grails.converters.deep.XML - grails

I have an xml type grails.converters.deep.XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<list>
<customer>
<name>A</name>
<age>1</age>
</customer>
<customer>
<name>B</name>
<age>2</age>
</customer>
<customer>
<name>C</name>
<age>3</age>
</customer>
</list>
How do I get each customers and how do I convert it to customer domain object?
Thanks,
Nimmy

I think the deep converters have been deprecated. The new way is supposed to be something like:
XML.use( 'deep' ){ ... }

But you should really be using the new render as json functionality in grails 2

Apigee - How to send XML payload using POST method using Apigee API Development Platform

I am supposed to access a a publicly accessible API (https://ABCInsuranceCoreApp.ng.bluemix.net/ABCInsurance/ProductService) using POST method. It accepts an XML Payload of the form
<Customer>
<Age>40</Age>
<Gender>M</Gender>
<Location>IBM</Location>
</Customer>
and returns a list of products. The API works in a REST-Client and tested.
What I have done in the Apigee API Dev Platform is as follows.
Default ProxyEndpoint:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ProxyEndpoint name="default">
<Flows>
<Flow name="default">
<Request>
<Step>
<Name>AssignCustomerData</Name>
</Step>
<Step>
<Name>ExecuteProductService</Name>
</Step>
</Request>
<Response>
<Step>
<Name>ParseProductList</Name>
</Step>
</Response>
</Flow>
</Flows>
<HTTPProxyConnection>
<BasePath>/v1/abcinsproductservice</BasePath>
<VirtualHost>default</VirtualHost>
</HTTPProxyConnection>
<RouteRule name="default"/>
</ProxyEndpoint>
AssignCustomerData is an AssignMessage Policy and it looks like..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<AssignMessage async="false" continueOnError="false" enabled="true" name="AssignCustomerData">
<DisplayName>AssignCustomerData</DisplayName>
<AssignTo createNew="true" type="request">CustomerData</AssignTo>
<Set>
<Payload contentType="text/xml">
<Customer>
<Age>40</Age>
<Gender>M</Gender>
<Location>IBM</Location>
</Customer>
</Payload>
<Verb>POST</Verb>
</Set>
</AssignMessage>
ExecuteProductService is a service callout and it looks like..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ServiceCallout async="false" continueOnError="false" enabled="true" name="ExecuteProductService">
<!-- Send the message we just made to the target, and save the result -->
<Request variable="CustomerData"/>
<Response>ProductList</Response>
<HTTPTargetConnection>
<URL>https://ABCInsuranceCoreApp.ng.bluemix.net/ABCInsurance/ProductService</URL>
</HTTPTargetConnection>
</ServiceCallout>
and ParseProductList is an ExtractVriable Policy which looks like..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ExtractVariables async="false" continueOnError="false" enabled="true" name="ParseProductList">
<DisplayName>ParseProductList</DisplayName>
<FaultRules/>
<Properties/>
<VariablePrefix>products</VariablePrefix>
<XMLPayload>
<Variable name="name" type="string">
<XPath>//Products/Product[1]/Name</XPath>
</Variable>
</XMLPayload>
</ExtractVariables>
I have dilligently followed the samples, however the arrangement does not work. I am confused as to where the error is.
The trace is not working either..
Can you pls help out..
Many thanks in advance
Amitava
I looks like you need to add Source to your ExtractVariables policy, as in:
<Source clearPayload="false">ProductList</Source>
Also, I'm curious why you are doing this with a ServiceCallout (rather than just routing to your target service via a TargetEndpoint)? I don't see a RouteRule in your ProxyEndpoint. Without a RouteRule, you are creating an Echo Server will will simply reflect back whatever comes in. To stop that from happening, you would need to add a RaiseFault policy after your ExtractVariables policy to terminate the call.
Or, perhaps you are just showing us a snippet and there is really more to it?
The way I see it is,
<Step>
<Name>ParseProductList</Name>
</Step>
Should be a Request Step.
So your proxy becomes,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ProxyEndpoint name="default">
<Flows>
<Flow name="default">
<Request>
<Step>
<Name>AssignCustomerData</Name>
</Step>
<Step>
<Name>ExecuteProductService</Name>
</Step>
<Step>
<Name>ParseProductList</Name>
</Step>
</Request>
<Response/>
</Flow>
</Flows>
<HTTPProxyConnection>
<BasePath>/v1/abcinsproductservice</BasePath>
<VirtualHost>default</VirtualHost>
</HTTPProxyConnection>
<RouteRule name="default"/>
</ProxyEndpoint>

Using Servicestack WSDL with php

I am trying to use ServiceStack to replace WCF for a self hosted service, accessed with a PHP client that forms its messages from on the WSDL.
The WSDL produced by ServiceStack has "part names" called "par" eg:
<wsdl:message name="GetServiceDetailsIn">
<wsdl:part name="par" element="tns:GetServiceDetails" />
</wsdl:message>
Then the SOAP request produced by PHP looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body><par/></SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
instead of this from the built-in help:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<GetServiceDetails xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="urn:Shout" />
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
The PHP client has used a par tag instead of GetServiceDetails and it gets a blank response. Can the "part name" definition can be renamed or removed in ServiceStack?
It seems you can't doing anything about this in ServiceStack and its not designed to work with PHP anyway. However you can get it working if you get PHP to tweak the XML tags with find-and-replace, or XSLTs, before sending it.

get hold of node from xml in jquery

If I have the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<response>
<status>SUCCESS</status>
<result>
<message>
<field>
<name>referenceNumber</name>
<type>string</type>
<required>true</required>
<max>8</max>
<min>0</min>
<decimal_places>0</decimal_places>
</field> ...
Is there a way to get the value for response/result/message? I know I can use a find("message") but if there are more than 1 message node then it doesn't work. I would like to know if there is a way to get to a particular node without 'guessing' if you know what I mean.
Thanks
you want to use find().each('message)` http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.each/ kinda like
`$(xml).find("listing").each(function (){
// Do stuff.
});

Inject a simple map into a Grails controller

I'm trying to inject a Map into a Grails controller. I want to inject the same map into many controllers so would like to define it in resources.groovy.
I've looked on the web but can't find an example of creating a simple map.
In Spring MVC I've used something like this:
<util:map id="diplomaPermissions">
<entry>
<key>1</key>
<value>Diploma_AQA_Building_And_Construction</value>
</entry>
<entry>
<key>1</key>
<value>Diploma_Edexcel_Building_And_Construction</value>
</entry>
</util:map>
With this in my xml header:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"
xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/util
http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-2.5.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.5.xsd">
But this doesn't seem to work in grails if I use the spring xml files.
Any tips appreciated.
after further investigation, you can create the map in "resources.groovy"
beans = {
diplomaPermissions(org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MapFactoryBean) {
sourceMap = [
1:"Diploma_AQA_Building_And_Construction",
2:"Diploma_Edexcel_Building_And_Construction"
]
}
}
I think it might be related to the version of spring you are expecting; when using the old style for creating map, everything works fine.
try this in your resources.xml in the spring configuration directory
<bean id="testMap"
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MapFactoryBean">
<property name="sourceMap">
<map>
<entry key="key1" value="value1"/>
<entry key="key2" value="value2"/>
</map>
</property>
</bean>
and this on your controller
class DisplayMapController {
def testMap
def index = {
render (contentType: "text/plain") {
div(id:"myDiv") { p "$testMap" }
}
}
}

Delphi 2007 isn't generating the XML I want to send to my Java-WS web service

I have a Java web service to which I've linked from a Delphi 2007 app using the WSDL Importer. Setting it up has been a rocky road but I'm almost there!
I now have the situation where my arrays aren't being serialized in a way that my Java web service can consume. I've written the same app in .Net to test it out (it works fine) and the XML I'm looking to generate looks like this: -
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body xmlns:NS2="http://path.to.service">
<NS1:addActivities xmlns:NS1="http://path.to.service/">
<login href="#1"/>
<project xsi:type="xsd:string">PROJ001</project>
<activities>
<id xsi:type="xsd:string">DELPHITEST</id>
<name xsi:type="xsd:string">This is a test</name>
</activities>
<activities>
<id xsi:type="xsd:string">DELPHITEST2</id>
<name xsi:type="xsd:string">This is another test</name>
</activities>
</NS1:addActivities>
<NS2:login id="1" xsi:type="NS2:login">
<database xsi:type="xsd:string">My_database</database>
<password xsi:type="xsd:string">neverUmind</password>
<username xsi:type="xsd:string">bob</username>
</NS2:login>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
However, the XML that Delphi generates is as follows: -
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body xmlns:NS2="http://path.to.service/">
<NS1:addActivities xmlns:NS1="http://path.to.service/">
<login href="#1"/>
<project xsi:type="xsd:string">PROJ001</project>
<activities xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array"
SOAP-ENC:arrayType="NS2:activity[2]">
<item href="#2"/>
<item href="#3"/>
</activities>
</NS1:addActivities>
<NS2:login id="1" xsi:type="NS2:login">
<database xsi:type="xsd:string">My_database</database>
<password xsi:type="xsd:string">neverUmind</password>
<username xsi:type="xsd:string">bob</username>
</NS2:login>
<NS2:activity id="2" xsi:type="NS2:activity">
<id xsi:type="xsd:string">DELPHITEST</id>
<name xsi:type="xsd:string">This is a test</name>
</NS2:activity>
<NS2:activity id="3" xsi:type="NS2:activity">
<id xsi:type="xsd:string">DELPHITEST2</id>
<name xsi:type="xsd:string">This is another test</name>
</NS2:activity>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Basically, I need Delphi to stop creating activity elements within the activities element and instead just put each ID and Name inside the an activities element (as .Net does and Java seems to expect).
I've buggered about with the InvRegistry.RegisterInvokeOptions and the RemClassRegistry.RegisterSerializeOptions but none of the combinations seem to work. To be honest I'm on the verge of writting my own XML parser for this as it's taking way to long to figure out. However, if anyone has any suggestions on how this should work I'd be very grateful.
Surely somebody out there must have consumed a Java-WS web service via Delphi 2007 before :)
TIA
It seems the XMLDocument component in Delphi 2007 is broken. I've installed the Alcinoe component instead and that works a charm. That was only a week wasted ... grrrr
