2nd Post. Help! Search and Replace...Re: How to edit data in a specific part of an XMLObject

Anyone?
Basically I want a search and replace. I can grab the XMLObject (WIPKEYSDocument) but can't replace it with another 
WIPKEYSDocument.
Please?! Anyone?

Subject: How to edit data in a specific part of an XMLObject

I have and XMLObject node I find by using an XPath expression in my XMLObject root element (XMLINIDocument). It finds this XMLObject (there is only one instance) but I want to replace it with another one. How do I do this?

** XML DOCUMENT **

<XMLINI>
  <CONFIG>
    <SERVICES>
      <SERVICE>
        <WIPKEYS>
          I WANT TO REPLACE THIS DATA
        </WIPKEYS>
.....
</XMLINI>

** CODE **

  // Load entire XML document
  XMLINIDocument config = XMLINIDocument.Factory.parse(editor.getText(), validateOptions);

  // Create xpath to the node we wish to replace
  String wipQueryExpression = "declare namespace xq='http://skywire.com/ccm/global';" +
                        "$this/xq:XMLINI/xq:CONFIG/xq:SERVICES/xq:SERVICE/xq:WIPKEYS";

  // XMLObject found through XPath.  This is the one I want to replace with the new one.
  WIPKEYSDocument.WIPKEYS[] wipkeys = (WIPKEYSDocument.WIPKEYS[]) config.selectPath(wipQueryExpression);

  // Got XML data from server and loaded it into a WIPKEYSDocument and wish to replace the wipkeys above with this one
  WIPKEYSDocument keys = WIPKEYSDocument.Factory.parse(serverData, validateOptions);

  // This kind of substitution does not work
  wipkeys[0] = keys.getWIPKEYS();

  // Then I save it at the end
  config.save(new File("war/WEB-INF/xml/global.xml"));

Any ideas?
Thx,
Bob

Posted by Cezar Andrei <ce...@bea.com>.

Bob, 

 

The wipkeys array returned from selectPath() method is just a copy, it's
not a live object in XMLBeans structures, so modifying it will not
change the original document.

 

You should call wipkeys[0].set(keys.getWIPKEYS()); or locate it's parent
and call parent.setWIPKEYS(keys.getWIPKEYS()) .

 

Cezar
