About Parse XML rules

A Parse XML rule has three key parts:

Field

Completing the Field

Type

Select Parse XML in the Integration-Mapping category.

Applies To

SmartPromptSelect a class for this rule. The class is typically derived from the Data- base class or Work- base class.

The classes you can enter here may depend on the RuleSet you select. On the Restrictions tab of the Class form, a class rule may limit rules applying to that class to belong to one of an explicit list of RuleSets.

Namespace Qualifier

Enter a name to group logically related XML documents. This value is arbitrary and is used only to differentiate identical element names that are used in different contexts. (You can include special characters such as @, % & * in this key part.)

NoteAlthough conceptually similar to a XML namespace, the Namespace key part is not used for matching namespace-qualified element names as defined by a Document Type Description (DTD) or XML Schema (XSDL) definition.

NoteIf this Parse XML rule was created by the Import XSD/DTD wizard from a XML Schema Definition (XSD) file, the namespace in the XSD is used. If the XSD file doesn't identify a namespace, the value pyDefault is used. This value has no special significance or function.

Root Element Name

Enter the name of the root element of the XML documents to be parsed by this rule; this must be a valid Java identifier. See How to enter an identifier.
