Problem with simple XML import operation

Hello,

I¹m trying to do what I think should be pretty simple, but I¹m obviously not
getting something.  I¹m just trying to import a simple XML file via curl and
view the result of the imported structure as JSON.   Steps I followed are
below.  I appreciate any input.

If I do a similar test using a JSON file as the import source I have no
issues.  The structure is imported.

I¹ve had zero luck with XML imports using a variety of test files.

Thanks,

Roger


java -jar org.apache.sling.launchpad-6-standalone.jar

curl -F:operation=import -F:contentType=xml -F:contentFile=@test.xml
http://admin:admin@localhost:8080/content/test

http://localhost:8080/content/test.json
http://localhost:8080/content/test.tidy.infinity.json

Both return:
{"jcr:primaryType": "nt:unstructured"}

I expected to see the XML structure as JSON, as I thought Sling would import
the XML as nodes.  What am I missing?

Much thanks Eric.  I successfully imported a simple test XML file based on
the on the format at the URL you provided:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<node>
        <name>xyz</name>
        <primaryNodeType>nt:unstructured</primaryNodeType>
    
        <mixinNodeType>mix:versionable</mixinNodeType>
        <mixinNodeType>mix:lockable</mixinNodeType>

        <property>
            <name>prop</name>
            <value>property value as string</value>
            <type>String</type>
        </property>
</node>

Re: Problem with simple XML import operation

Hi Roger,

The xml format that the import operation supports is the same as the xml
format used by the content loader bundle that is documented at [1].  To
import some other xml format you would need to create an xslt stylesheet to
transform the xml into one of the supported formats.
