I'm trying to parse an XML to use in a Swazoo/SOAP app in Cincome
VW5i.4,
but my code keeps balking with the following error:
'Unhandled exception: < expected, but not found'
I traced the stack with the following flow:
XML.DOM_SAXDriver(XML.SAXDriver)>>fatalError:
XML.XMLParser>>malformed:
XML.XMLParser>>expected:
XML.XMLParser>>mustFind:
XML.XMLParser>>elementAtPosition:
XML.XMLParser>>getElement
optimized [] in XML.XMLParser>>scanDocument
mustFind: calls skipIf: str, where str is '<'. The problem lay in
skipIf:,
speficially the line
hereChar = str first ifFalse: [^false].
My problem is that hereChar, from the XML StreamWrapper ReadStream, is
inspecting to the ASCII number of '<' (i.e., 60), so its comparison to
str
('<') is always false. I added some Transcript calls:
Transcript nextPutAll: 'hereChar: '; print: hereChar ; cr.
prints '60', while
Transcript nextPutAll: 'hereChar: '; print: hereChar asCharacter;
cr.
prints '<', which is what I want.
Assuming the Cincom XML code is correct, I can only deduce that I'm
somehow
loading the XML file incorrectly, causing it to be parsed as it's ASCII
number, instead of the string values themselve. The SOAP/Swazoo call
I'm
using that actually invokes this is:
req := SoapRequest new
binding: XMLObjectBinding soapBinding;
transport: (SoapHttpBindingDescriptor verb: 'POST' soapAction:
'
http://soapinterop.org/' );
accessPoint: '
http://localhost:8123/index.xml' asURI;
operation: soapOprBindg;
smalltalkEntity: (Message selector: #echoString arguments:
#(ParabolicSoftwareSystems));
execute.
Can anyone help clue me into what's going on? Thanks.
