I have a situation where I might need to have an xml fragment in a container member that looks like this
| Code: |
<somedata>
<field1>val</field1>
<field2>val</field2>
</somedata> |
This appears to work fine in a regular Program activiity, what I am wondering is if anyone has tried anything like this in a UPES activity.
Anything you can tell me will be appreciated.
Thanks

I just tried this in a UPES activity and it works fine.
I put an XML in a data member defined as String. It went through fine. Is that what you wanted?

| Can you start the process by sending an XML message to workflow, having the I/P container's element as an XML string? |

I guess I am wrong. We were actually changing the characters on our UI, so when I said
<Description>
<test> mytest </test>
</Description>
it became
<Description><test> my test </test></Description>
before it reached WF.
BottomLine: It doesnt work.

Venny/Ratan:
So what I am hearing, is that I can put in any XML data as long as I encode it first, then it will work whether the container is accessed via regular API, or via UPES.
Comments on the above if any.....
THANKS guys

Yes, If you encode the XML it will just become a String and it should work no matter what.

Hi Ratan,
I am not very clear about encoding.
Taking the John's example how does it look like after encoding?
and after the encoding will that be sent on a separate data field(container member? 
Thanks

Before Encoding:
<Description>
<test> mytest </test>
</Description>
After encoding:
<Description><test> mytest </test></Description>

John,
You can also try using CDATA. For example if you want to have
| Code: |
<somedata>
<field1>val</field1>
<field2>val</field2>
</somedata> |
passed into a data element named Payload you can use
| Code: |
<Payload>
<![CDATA[
<somedata>
<field1>val</field1>
<field2>val</field2>
</somedata>
]]>
</Payload> |
