SOAP response without proper prefix?
 
|
Hello all,
I'm using a pipeline which performs a SOAP call. The SOAP response is (of course) an XML document, which looks like this:
Now I want to use the result from this SOAP call on my form. How should I handle this name space collision? On my form I have defined "xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"" (it wouldn't be very pretty to change this, would it).
Can I somehow force a certain namespace / prefix on my SOAP response?

Hi Robin
You can use the xslt processor
in your pipeline to process the results before they get back to your form - you
can reformat the results into whatever format's most convenient for your
form.
(by the way it's not actually a
namespace collision - <total xmlns="http://www.someothernamespace/services">10</total>
is identical - eg from an xpath point of view - to <xyz:total xmlns:xyz="http://www.someothernamespace/services">10</xyz:total>,
so alternatively just use the appropriate syntax with your own namespace prefix
definition within your xform. It doesn't matter what the actual namespace
prefix so long as it is declared correctly to match the - in this case - default
namespace in your SOAP response)
Regards
Steve

Hello Steve,
Thanks for the tips! Regarding your first solution: I did find some hints about that, but if possible, I'd like to avoid such a construction, as this would imply my application being harder to maintain. I like to keep things simple :-) (of course, if it has to be done, it has to be done)
Your second solution sounds quite interesting, but I don't think I'm getting exactly what you mean. How would I use my own namespace prefix on the form for this SOAP response? Would I have to add this namespace to my xforms:instance tag and adress the elements (prefixed with the namespace) on the form?

Hi Robin
You'd use your namespace prefix
wherever you want to refer to an element in that namespace.
So if you had an xforms:input,
you'd have something like
<xforms:input xmlns:xyz="http://www.someothernamespace/services"
ref="/xyz:total" .... >
Think of it as in the
background, the namespace prefix gets expanded to whatever you have declared it
as - so it doesn;t matter if the prefixes do not match, so long as the resulting
namespaces do.
Of course you could declare
your namespace prefix anywhere so long as it's in scope where you use it.
So you could define it at the top level of your form if you
wanted.

Just to add to that - the first
solution should actually make your application easier to maintain in the
future. Consider if the output of your service changes format - you only
have to change the xslt once, rather than amending every form you develop that
uses the data.
