Extracting XML data from web service result with namespace using E4X

[Oleg Konovalov <ol...@gmail.com>]

Hi,



I need to extract some data from proprietary Web Service (to be fed to
HierarchicalData for dataProvider of ADG).



So I made service.returnType=’e4x’;

In that case it returns data as XML.



I need to get useful data from it after Snapshot:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/
">

<SOAP-ENV:Header xmlns:msdwHdr="http://xml.msdw.com/ns/appmw/soap/1.0/header
">

<msdw:RequestID xmlns:msdw="http://xml.msdw.com/ns/appmw/soap/1.0/header
">restsoap#1390182244050#197728273958044232</msdw:RequestID>

<msdwHdr:FinalMessage>true</msdwHdr:FinalMessage>

</SOAP-ENV:Header>

<SOAP-ENV:Body>

<ADSSnapshotResponse xmlns="http://xml.ms.com/ns/appmw/dataserver/1.0">

<Snapshot seqNo="0">

*<BASE_ELEMENT_NAME BASE_ELEMENT_NAME="4.11.2.0">*

……..



Using E4X, like:

*var* root:XML = event.result *as* XML; //good!


*var* xmlRoot1:XMLList = root[*'SOAP-ENV:Body'*
].ADSSnapshotResponse.Snapshot.BASE_ELEMENT_NAME;

it does return XMLList (tried different variants), but debugger shows
nothing at all inside that XMLList.


*var* root1:XMLList = root.children();  // that returns valid XMLList with
2 XML elements inside



But all other data I could not get if I use any E4X:



Can I skip Envelope, going to Body as one of its children?  suppose I can...



a) root.*SOAP-ENV:Body would give compilation errors because of ‘-‘, ‘:’*



*b) root.Body gives blank XMLList*



c) root.Body[0] returns NULL





Any idea how to extract the load from ADS Response (envelope)?



What can I do regarding XML Namespaces in E4X ?





If I set service.returnType="xml" it returns data as XMLNode's.

But I prefer to use E4X if possible.



Please help!



TIA,

Oleg.



P.S.: using Flex 4.5.1 with Flex3 ADG.
