Hi,

I am implementing a webservice retry logic. I copy the soap body in environment variable and then make a mq request to store the request in MQ.

Code:
Code:
SET OutputRoot.XMLNSC.Msg.body = Environment.SOAP.Body;
SET OutputRoot.XMLNSC.Msg.RetryCounter = Environment.RetryCounter;


On first time here is the xml:

Code:
<Msg>
  <body>
      <NS1:po xmlns:NS1="http://www.example.org/NewXMLSchema">
         <NS1:id>b</NS1:id>
      </NS1:po>
   </body>
   <RetryCounter>0</RetryCounter>
</Msg>

But the next time in loop, when I put the message in Mq using same logic, an extra namespace element tag is generated which causes parser issue. You can examine the new message and the tag generated below:

New message:
Code:
<Msg>
   <body>
      <NS1:po xmlns:NS1="http://www.example.org/NewXMLSchema">   
      <xmlns:NS1>http://www.example.org/NewXMLSchema</xmlns:NS1>
         <NS1:id>A</NS1:id>
      </NS1:po>
   </body>
   <RetryCounter>1</RetryCounter>
</Msg>


Extra tag:
Code:
<xmlns:NS1>http://www.example.org/NewXMLSchema</xmlns:NS1>


Parsing issue:
An XML parsing error has occurred while parsing the XML document. The namespace prefix "xmlns" was not declared.

How can this issue be eliminated ?

Thanks.

Remember that by default the environment does not have a parser attached...
So may be you should attach a parser to the environment before "parking" anything there.
As for the extra namespace declaration: most probably due to a programing error on your part...

Use the CREATE statement with a DOMAIN clause when creating the destination in the LocalEnvironment tree. Specify XMLNSC as the domain.

The 'extra' namespace tag is simply the xmlns attribute (more correctly, the namespace declaration) which has been turned into a tag because its parser-specific field type has been discarded. This will stop happening when you fix the domain issue.

Thanks timber and fjb_saper. You pointed to the correct issue that while putting/getting from environment we should use statements like:

getting from environment:
CREATE LASTCHILD OF OutputRoot.XMLNSC.Msg DOMAIN('XMLNSC');
SET OutputRoot.XMLNSC.Msg.XMLNSC = Environment.Variables.XMLNSC;

saving in environment:
CREATE LASTCHILD OF Environment.Variables DOMAIN('XMLNSC');
SET Environment.Variables.XMLNSC.*[] = InputRoot.XMLNSC.Msg.XMLNSC.*[];

i found following link useful as well:
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSMKHH_9.0.0/com.ibm.scenarios.doc/gop_03/topics/bj60033_.htm

further if we are using a mqget/mq input node and if we are just using xmlnsc domain with no explicit message model mentioned even then this issue happens and a tag is created for xmlns attribute. one way to avoid this issue is to add required location/tag that contains your xml with namespaces like e.g i added full soap envelope i.e '//tns:Envelope' in 'Opaque elements' on 'Parser Options' tab of mq node.

I am not sure this will really do what you want it to.
I'd have thought you'd code it this way:
Code:
CREATE LASTCHILD OF Environment.Variables DOMAIN('XMLNSC') Name 'XMLNSC';
SET Environment.Variables.XMLNSC.*[] = InputRoot.XMLNSC.Msg.XMLNSC.*[];

Have fun

Thanks fjb_saper for the correction. I have updated my code and tested, its also working fine.

Plus, as updated earlier, adding xml structures as Opaque Elements for mq get/mq input nodes is proving useful for me, as otherwise i get the xmlns exception: 'The namespace prefix "xmlns" was not declared.'

Actually, this:
Code:
CREATE LASTCHILD OF Environment.Variables DOMAIN('XMLNSC');
is exactly equivalent to this:
Code:
CREATE LASTCHILD OF Environment.Variables DOMAIN('XMLNSC') Name 'XMLNSC';
...although it does no harm to include the NAME clause for clarity.

While we're discussing the details of ESQL, this:
Code:
SET Environment.Variables.XMLNSC.*[] = InputRoot.XMLNSC.Msg.XMLNSC.*[];
is almost exactly equivalent to this:
Code:
SET Environment.Variables.XMLNSC = InputRoot.XMLNSC.Msg.XMLNSC;

The only difference is that the second one will copy the value of InputRoot.XMLNSC.Msg.XMLNSC as well as the child elements. But I suspect that it will not have a value because it is representing the root tag of an XML document.
