Re: Transaction error

Hello Laxman,

The XML type is only know to SAP MII. The WSDL don't have anything called as XML type. So even if a transaction has XML type as a property it will be shown as STRING in the wsdl.

So if you want to pass an XML to a transaction convert it to STRING and then pass it to the transaction. And then within the transaction you can convert from STRING to XML. But i guess this is not your scenario.

If you have a XML type property as Output for a transaction, It will again be returned as a STRING. So you need to handle the returned string in the calling application. For example, an output xml as shown below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

<root>

          <menu>

                    <id>file</id>

                    <value>File</value>

                    <popup>

                              <menuitem>

                                        <element>

                                                  <value>New</value>

                                                  <onclick>CreateNewDoc()</onclick>

                                        </element>

                                        <element>

                                                  <value>Open</value>

                                                  <onclick>OpenDoc()</onclick>

                                        </element>

                                        <element>

                                                  <value>Close</value>

                                                  <onclick>CloseDoc()</onclick>

                                        </element>

                              </menuitem>

                    </popup>

          </menu>

</root>

will be returned as a String as shown below

&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot; standalone=&quot;no&quot;?&gt;

&lt;root&gt;

    &lt;menu&gt;

        &lt;id&gt;file&lt;/id&gt;

        &lt;value&gt;File&lt;/value&gt;

        &lt;popup&gt;

            &lt;menuitem&gt;

                &lt;element&gt;

                    &lt;value&gt;New&lt;/value&gt;

                    &lt;onclick&gt;CreateNewDoc()&lt;/onclick&gt;

                &lt;/element&gt;

                &lt;element&gt;

                    &lt;value&gt;Open&lt;/value&gt;

                    &lt;onclick&gt;OpenDoc()&lt;/onclick&gt;

                &lt;/element&gt;

                &lt;element&gt;

                    &lt;value&gt;Close&lt;/value&gt;

                    &lt;onclick&gt;CloseDoc()&lt;/onclick&gt;

                &lt;/element&gt;

            &lt;/menuitem&gt;

        &lt;/popup&gt;

    &lt;/menu&gt;

&lt;/root&gt;

As Rohit already mentioned warning "[WARN] Unused line parameter [OUTPUTXML]" will not create any problems while calling the web service.

But calling a webservice using following syntax is not the right way to do it.

http://<server>:50000/XMII/WSDLGen/<TrxPath>&OutputParameter=outputXML

You can use OutputParameter in the URL with Runner servlet by making http calls but not with WSDLGen. Refer to the below link for details on Runner servlet
