XML read issue

ashleyd182

Hi All,

I am trying to validate a XML message for its content and was encountering the below issue.
TypeError: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed. at Nov 19, 2010 5:09:16 PM

Once I removed the below line I was able to read and use var $x = new XML(xmlStr); without any problem.
line removed (this was on the first line):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Can someone let me know what is the solution to this problem, because the XML file I would receive will always contain the above tag?

Thanks,
Ashley

Hi Ashley,

Where are you getting this XML from? Could you alert or debug the xmlStr and see if it has Sahi's injected code in it?

Hi Narayan,

Thanks for your reply.

I am getting this xml created as a by-product of a outbound data exchange. This xml needs to be validated to ensure it contains all data from the front-end.

Currently, I tried to alert the xml and it gives me a [object Object] message.

Any suggestions?

I was able to successfully test your example xml.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Ashley

Hi Narayan,

Here is a sample of the modified xml I am trying to validate.

var xmlStr1 = '' +
'<ns0:employee xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:ns0="XX">' +
' <ns1:person xmlns:ns1="a">' +
' <name>Ant</name>' +
' <hair>Shaggy</hair>' +
' <eyes>Blue</eyes>' +
' <height measure="metric">176</height>' +
' </ns1:person>' +
' <ns1:person xmlns:ns1="b">' +
' <name>Paul</name>' +
' <hair>Spiky</hair>' +
' <eyes>Grey</eyes>' +
' <height measure="metric">178</height>' +
' </ns1:person>' +
'</ns0:employee>';


I get a blank alert ("") when I perform:
var $x = new XML(xmlStr1);
_alert($x.toString());
_alert($x.ns1.name.toString());

Thanks,
Ashley

Hi Narayan,
i am also facing same issue.MY xml file containing the tag as <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

and my code is :
var $XMLStr = _readFile("E:\\Sahi\\userdata\\BCS-OracleArLogPFR-SO.xml");
var $x = new XML($XMLStr);
_alert($x);

TypeError: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.

If i am removing the tag: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
its working fine, but we required this tag .Kindly provide me the solution.
