Axapta, namespaces in XML node

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Brynjar Gudbjartsson 25

Hi

I'm writing Sales Invoice to XML document in Axapta 4.0

I want to add namespaces 'cbc' and 'cac' to the elements where appropiate.

(cac = CommonAggregateComponents, cbc = CommonBasicComponents)

I have tried warius forms of "element = xmlDoc.createElement('cbc' + 'UBLVersionID');"

The problem is that when I call 'xmlDoc.save(somepath);' to write the XML file, the 'cbc:' part is ignored.

Here is a job showing my methods

static void Job350(Args _args)
{
    XMLDocument                     xmlDoc;
    XMLProcessingInstruction        XMLpi;
    XMLElement                      root;
    XMLElement                      element;

    xmlDoc = new XMLDocument();

    root = xmlDoc.documentElement();

    XMLpi = xmlDoc.createProcessingInstruction('xml', 'version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"');
    xmlDoc.appendChild(XMLpi);

    element = xmlDoc.createElement('Invoice');
    element.setAttribute('xmlns', "urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-2");
    element.setAttribute('xmlnscac', "urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonAggregateCoomponents-2");
    element.setAttribute('xmlnscbc', "urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2");
    element.setAttribute('xmlnsccts', "urn:un:unece:uncefact:documentation:2");
    element.setAttribute('xmlnsext', "urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonExtensionComponents-2");
    element.setAttribute('xmlnsqdt', "urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:QualifiedDatatypes-2");
    element.setAttribute('xmlnsudt', "urn:un:unece:uncefact:data:specification:UnqualifiedDataTypesSchemaModule:2");
    element.setAttribute('xmlnsxsd', "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
    element.setAttribute('xmlnsxsi', "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");
    element.setAttribute('xsischemaLocation', "urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-2");
    root    = xmlDoc.appendChild(element);

    element = xmlDoc.createElement('cbc:' + 'UBLVersionID');
    element.text('2.0');
    root.appendChild(element);

    xmlDoc.save("C:\\Tmp\\Out.xml");

}

 

What I would like to get should look something like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Invoice xmlns="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-2" xmlnscac="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonAggregateCoomponents-2" xmlnscbc="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2" xmlnsccts="urn:un:unece:uncefact:documentation:2" xmlnsext="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonExtensionComponents-2" xmlnsqdt="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:QualifiedDatatypes-2" xmlnsudt="urn:un:unece:uncefact:data:specification:UnqualifiedDataTypesSchemaModule:2" xmlnsxsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlnsxsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsischemaLocation="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-2">
  <cbc:UBLVersionID>2.0</cbc:UBLVersionID>
</Invoice>

but the 'cbc:' part is skipped when I run the above code.

 

Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this??

I welkome any input.

Best regards,

Brynjar

    Hi,

     Have you looked at XmlDoc.createElement2 and createElement3 methods? I have replaced this

    [quote user="Brynjar Gudbjartsson"] element = xmlDoc.createElement('cbc:' + 'UBLVersionID');
    [/quote] 

    with this line:

    element = xmlDoc.createElement3('cbc', 'UBLVersionID', 'urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2');

    and got this:

    <cbc:UBLVersionID xmlns:cbc="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2">2.0</cbc:UBLVersionID>

    By the way, aren't you suppose to have : between xmlns and the namespace prefix? 'xmlns:cbc', not 'xmlnscbc'...

    Hi

     Thanks for your input.

    You are right about the : (colon) it is suposed to xmlns:cbc

    And also if I use createElement3 then it works.

    So the code

        element = xmlDoc.createElement('Invoice');
        element.setAttribute('xmlns', "urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-2");
        element.setAttribute('xmlns:cac', "urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonAggregateCoomponents-2");
        element.setAttribute('xmlns:cbc', "urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2");
        element.setAttribute('xmlns:ccts', "urn:un:unece:uncefact:documentation:2");
        element.setAttribute('xmlns:ext', "urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonExtensionComponents-2");
        element.setAttribute('xmlns:qdt', "urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:QualifiedDatatypes-2");
        element.setAttribute('xmlns:udt', "urn:un:unece:uncefact:data:specification:UnqualifiedDataTypesSchemaModule:2");
        element.setAttribute('xmlns:xsd', "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
        element.setAttribute('xmlns:xsi', "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");
        element.setAttribute('xsi:schemaLocation', "urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-2");
        root    = xmlDoc.appendChild(element);

        element = xmlDoc.createElement3('cbc', 'UBLVersionID', "urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2");
        element.text('2.0');
        root.appendChild(element);

    does the trick.

    Thanks again

    Brynjar
