PeopleSoft PeopleCode XMLDoc

Generating XML with namespace prefixes using PeopleCode XMLDoc object.

-

It may sound stupid but we do this by adding the xmlns as an attribute to the required element. Off course against the XML specs, which clearly says that we should never treat xmlns as an attribute.

-

   Required XML (sample):

        <?xml version="1.0"?>
        <q0:bibliograpphy xmlns:q0="http://example.org">
          <q0:book>
            <q0:title>TCP/IP Illustrated</q0:title>
            <q0:publisher>Addison-Wesley</q0:publisher>
            <price>65.95</price>
          </q0:book>
        </q0:bibliograpphy>

    PeopleCode

        Local XmlDoc &reqXML = CreateXmlDoc("");
        Local XmlNode &root = &reqXML.CreateDocumentElement("q0:bibliograpphy", "http://example.org");
       &root.AddAttribute("xmlns:q0", "http://example.org");
        Local XmlNode &book = &root.AddElement("q0:book");
        Local XmlNode &temp = &book.AddElement("q0:title").AddText("TCP/IP Illustrated");
        &temp = &book.AddElement("q0:publisher").AddText("Addison-Wesley");
        &temp = &book.AddElement("price").AddText("65.95");

        Local File &file = GetFile("<SOME_PATHTest>/XMLDoc.xml", "W", %FilePath_Absolute);
        &file.WriteLine(&reqXML.GenFormattedXmlString());

FTP using PeopleCode PutAttachment() inside App Engine

-

The return code (%Attachment_FileNotFound)  from PutAttachment() PeopleCode built-in function was incorrect.
Internally, it was failing as Write Access was revoked on the FTP server (ftp://username:password@hostname/AEI/SAKAI/)
This FTP server is running on some Windows Server 2008 machine and we need to contact the owner to get the write access.
Here's the ftp log generated from PutAttachment() PeopleCode.
