Hello,
I'm having trouble handling NULL elements with attribute xsi:nil="true". The input message set has the 'Nillable' property checked and the .msgset file has the 'Encoding non-Numeric Null' set to "NULLXMLSchema". Inspite of this I get a parseNext error on a date field.
Came across the foll troubleshooting link.. Identical problem scenario and set-up exactly as mentioned in here.. still no Luck.. 
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=849&context=SSKM8N&dc=DB520&dc=DB560&uid=swg21289387&loc=en_US&cs=UTF-8&lang=en&rss=ct849websphere
Using MB v6.0.2
sample Input XML
.....<paymentAmount>70.81</paymentAmount>
<companyCode>0001</companyCode>
dueDate xsi:null='true'/>
<recoveryType/> .......
Am I missing anything ? Tips/ideas/ wil be greatly appreciated
Thanks. |

With the MRM parser set the element/attribute VALUE = NULL and make sure the message set is configured correctly.
With the XMLNS/XMLNSC parsers use the correct type and namespaces:
SET ns:myelement.xsi:nil TYPE = (XML.Attribute|XMLNSC.Attribute);
SET ns:myelement.xsi:nill = 'true';
Have fun

Thanks fjb_saper for the reply, but I've only been able to achieve <StartKeyValue xsi:nil="true"></StartKeyValue>, how can I get <StartKeyValue xsi:nil="true" /> instead? |

dmx0t1: which domain are you using?
I hope everybody realises that
| Code: |
| SET ns:myelement.xsi:nil TYPE = (XML.Attribute|XMLNSC.Attribute); |
is not valid ESQL. What fjb_saper means is that you should use XML.Attribute with the XMLNS domain, or XMLNSC.Attribute with the XMLNSC domain. |

XML is not for human eyes but to be parsed by a processor. As such there is no difference between
<StartKeyValue xsi:nil="true"></StartKeyValue>
and
<StartKeyValue xsi:nil="true" />
Not quite true... the first line while specifying the nil value would allow for children nodes/elements to be inserted between opening and closing tags (there just happen to be none) while the second form specifies at the same time that no children nodes are allowed.
A good parser however should not make any difference between the two.

I am being very pedantic now, but that statement is not true (although it makes no difference to the subject of this thread). If an element has xsi:nil="true" then it *must* be empty. And there really is no difference at all between <a/> and <a></a>. |

To kimbert : i am using XMLNSC domain

this what i did:
| Code: |
DECLARE xsi Namespace 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance';
SET OutputRoot.XMLNSC.Request.RequestHeader.FromKey.(XMLNSC.Attribute)xsi:nil = 'true'; |
and the output turned out to be <FromKey xsi:nil="true"></FromKey>, though i am hoping broker can kill the closing tag and make it <FromKey xsi:nil="true" /> |

I get
| Code: |
| <FromKey xsi:nil="true" /> |
on my v6.1.0.2 broker.
Are you on the latest fix pack? |
