Hello...
I have a case where a system somehow manages to send two xml messages in a single MQ message. This includes xml declarations and root tag that repeat. As the xmlnsc parser cannot parse this I have to parse it as a blob. Then buffer it and split för every end tag.
Just wondering if people have other solutions they can recommend? |

What system?
Can you send back an error to the originating system?
Are you doing SOAP over MQ?

| CAST the BLOB to a char and split on the "<?xml" declaration using SUBSTRING, propagating each substring as an XMLNSC domain msg using some CREATE field PARSE trickery ? ? |

| Yeah we have sent the error but they want us to handle it somehow... |

XML documents need to be well-formed. If you are presented with an XML payload that is not well-formed, the correct action is to return an error.

adubaya's suggestion will work, although it is dependent on the presence of an XML declaration at the start of the second XML message.
I would put the splitting logic into a separate flow - that way, when the originating application gets fixed you can just decommission the splitter flow. |
