I am in a requirement to develop a middleware API on MSF4J framework which shoudl be able to accept XML as input and send a transformed XML back to client? Could see examples with json as input like the below snippet but not with XML anywhere?
How to receive and parse XML dynamically?.
With JSON code :-
import com.google.gson.JsonObject;
#POST
#Path("/orderpizza")
public Response post(JsonObject orderDetailsJson) { }
P.S- not with XML file in local system.

Hi i am new to API connect ... i have a use case where i have to merge responses coming from two endpoints in XML format based on certain conditions.
My flow in the assemble section is like this
1) INVOKE
(i make my
first service call
and capture the response
in a custom 'Response
object varibale' -XMLResponse1
2) INVOKE
(i make my
second service call
and here i am not using any
custom 'Response object varibale'
Instead i am using apim.getvaribale('message.body') to get the response
3)GATEWAYSCRIPT
Here i want to write my script for parsing the xml and merging the two responses
and send back the merged response to the consumer
I observed that the xml response is not getting captured in a custom Response object variable when i try to capture it like below
var test1= apim.getvariable('XMLResponse1');
test1.item(0).childNodes
it throws me an exception like this
test1.item is not a function
now for the second response like below where i am not capturing the response in a custom Response object variable it works well
var test2= apim.getvariable('message.body');
My question:
1)How do i capture the xml responses in a custom Response object variable?
2)How can i parse the response into a javascript object? are there any libraries supported in api connect?
Below is the samples found from IBM community. Hope this may help you.
**** Sample XML ****
<Routing>
<partner name="Partner A" key="1">
<from_ID>PartnerA-KEY1-INT</from_ID>
<to_ID>PartnerA-KEY1-EXT</to_ID>
<destination>PartnerA-KEY1-DESTINATION</destination>
</partner>
<partner name="Partner B" key="2">
<from_ID>PartnerB-KEY2-INT</from_ID>
<to_ID>PartnerB-KEY2-EXT</to_ID>
<destination>PartnerB-KEY2-DESTINATION</destination>
</partner>
<partner name="Partner C" key="3">
<from_ID>PartnerC-KEY3-INT</from_ID>
<to_ID>PartnerC-KEY3-EXT</to_ID>
<destination>PartnerC-KEY3-DESTINATION</destination>
</partner>
</Routing>
**** Corresponing Gateway Script *****
var response = apim.getvariable('XMLResponse1.body');
var objType = response.item(0);
var string = objType.getElementsByTagName("partner").item(0).getElementsByTagName("from_ID").item(0).textContent;
output ---> string = PartnerA-KEY1-INT
Why do you want to merge them in a GatewayScript node??
You could merge them in a mapping node, in wich you have 2 variables as input (refered to the output objects of your invokes) and one XML object as output...
If you have to apply some conditions or comparisons, you could do them in the code part of the mapping nodes
ActualAPIRequest OutputFromKarate
Trying to upload a json file for an api using karate. Since api takes multipart input i am passing multipart configurations in karate.
But Required request part 'inputData' not present error is coming. Is there any solution for this please?
I have attached actual input and result from karate screenshot for reference
Just make sure that the data type of inputData and maybe swaggerFile is JSON. Looks like you are sending a string.
Please refer to this section of the doc: https://github.com/intuit/karate#type-conversion
If the server does not like the charset being sent for each multipart, try * configure charset = null
How do I Invoke an HTTP request with a particular URL and process the body of the response as XML?
Information Provided by ShopStyle:
HOW TO USE THE API:
Choose the method that returns the data your application needs. For example, the /products method is used to get products that match a given category or brand.Construct a URL for that method with the appropriate host, method name, and query parameters. Invoke the URL as an HTTP GET.
When the HTTP response arrives, extract the required data elements from the response's body.The rest of this document describes the details of constructing the right URL for each of the API methods. The XML format of the responses may be seen by clicking on the sample URLs shown for each method. The responses in JSON format contain identical information, just in a different format.
SHOPSTYLE API URLS
All ShopStyle API URLs have the following form:
http://api.shopstyle.com/api/VERSION/METHOD_NAMEpid=YOUR_API_KEY&format=FORMAT&...
The METHOD_NAME is taken from the list of methods in the various API shown at left (Press Link To View List of Methods-https://www.shopstylecollective.com/api/overview).
COMMON API PARAMETERS
All methods in the API accept these parameters:
API_KEY (my unique key is ******************)
pid Unique API_KEY string that is assigned to the caller. You can find your API Key on the Account Settings page.
FORMAT
The format of the response. Supported values are:
json - The response is in JSON format with UTF-8 encoding. This is the default if the parameter is absent.
xml - The response is in XML format with UTF-8 encoding.
jsonp - The response is in JSON format with UTF-8 encoding wrapped in a JavaScript method called padding. The padding must be specified with the query parameter 'callback'. Only single expressions (function reference, or object property function reference) are accepted as valid padding.
When set to 1 or 'true' the HTTP status will always be 200. Use the field "errorCode" in the response to detect whether the API Call was successful. By default, when an error occur the HTTP Status of the response will be different than 200
Again I am a beginner, so please provide detailed information on how to retrieve CATEGORY data (Examples: Dresses, Tops, Buttoms, etc) in XML format.**
Thank you!!!
Here's a simple example to get your started. Copy the code below and put it into a file, say "cat.php". Then run it by typing "php cat.php" at a command prompt (assumes you have php on your machine):
<?php
// don't show dom parse errors
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
// grab the xml from the api
$response = file_get_contents("http://api.shopstyle.com/api/v2/categories?pid=TEST&format=xml");
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML($response);
// grab all the categories
$elements = $doc->getElementsByTagName('categories');
foreach($elements as $node){
foreach($node->childNodes as $child) {
// get the name out of the category
$nodes = $child->getElementsByTagName("name");
foreach ($nodes as $name) {
echo $name->nodeValue . PHP_EOL;
}
}
}
how can I parse a POST data like this
ELEMENT1=12345&ELEMENT2=56789&ELEMENT3=9
or
{"ELEMENT1":"12345","ELEMENT2":"56789","ELEMENT3":"9"}
to
<ELEMENT1>12345</ELEMENT1>
<ELEMENT2>56789</ELEMENT2>
<ELEMENT3>9</ELEMENT3>
Where the element name comes from the POST data
The different POST data doesn't have to be in the same schema.
I wanna help in achieving below mule use-case.Mule flow contains http-inbound-endpoint and object-string transformer(optional) and logger which prints the payload.
Requirement is that i am invoking flow with rest client with a json string
{
"name":"ساختبار",
"age":"25"
}
in the json string name can of different language for example Arabic language string.
I tried with same implementation with sample json string with name defined in Arabic input string from rest client.But while checking the logger output prints
{
"name":"???????",
"age":"25"
}
instead of actual input.
How i can get the actual Arabic or any language input string printed in logger.
As per forum, set the correct Eclipse console encoding following these instructions and set the appropiate encoding on your endpoints.
