Question How to export a string that contain xml to web-context?

[Ithrees]

Hi Folks,

I have a situation with my system.

After submitting a form, In the webobject I have this string variable that contains formatted xml value like,

myStr = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
        <record name="test">
          <field name="1stFld">Value1</field>
          <field name="2ndFld">Value2</field>
          <field name="3rdFld">Value</field>
        </record>'.

I need to upload this to the WEB-CONTEXT as an XML so some other services which expect and read the xml for its execution will use this.

like,

IF (WEB-CONTEXT:IS-XML) THEN
  RUN readAndXcute(output myHandle).

Please help me to define the proper work around for the above requirement.
Thank you in advance.

web-context:is-xml is true when the received data is xml - to do this, your post needs to set the content-type on the request header to 'text/xml'.

You can then access the xml with the web-context:x-document handle.

Thank you for your replay Stefan,
In my case, I'm getting this xml string from a form submit.
Please clarify me if there anyway to set the content type before submit the form or after in the webobject...?

Thanks and Best Regards

You need to use the JavaScript XMLHttpRequest object - this used to vary per browser, which is where jQuery can come in handy to handle browser abstraction.
