        Hi,

        I am currently investigating the solution to a problem at work, and as a part of this I was wondering if there is a way to pass all (or part) of the souce xml message into a functoid as a string?

        My Google efforts have so far not paid off! 

        Any help gratefully received.

        Cheers

          Stuart,

          There may be a way using custom XSLT, but it'd need some research. What are you trying to acheive? there may be a better/easier solution.

              Hi Nick,

              Basically what I am trying to achieve is feeding in a batch of parameters into a custom functoid which also accepts a message string (from a config file). 

              The functoid then iterates through the supplied parameters and replaces any "Names" it matches with the "Value" for that paramater.

              Basically I want an extended find and replace that runs from an indeterminate number of parameters. 

              Thanks for any ideas you may have.

              Cheers

              Partial xsd:

              – <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="Parameters">
              –     <xs:complexType>
              –         <xs:sequence>
                            <xs:element name="Name" type="xs:string" />
                            <xs:element name="Value" type="xs:string" />
                    </xs:sequence>
                </xs:complexType>
              </xs:element>

                  Hi there

                   

                  Are you familiar with the function called OuterXML. I use it all the time to grab the raw xml contents of a message.

                  Step 1:
                  Create a variable of type String: strVar
                  Step 2:
                  Create a variable of type System.Xml.XmlDocument: xmlVar
                  Step3:
                  Add an expression shape to orchestration
                  Step 4:
                  Enter Code ….
                  varXML = msgIncomingMessage
                  strVar = varXML.OuterXML

                  Now that you have the xml message contents inside a string you can use it however you need to.

                   Hope that helps
