Posting XML content to a REST Service

It seems that payload that is being passed using wsrequest is being parsed. It's unable to read RDF text. My code sample in the previous message was missing /statements in the URL. Is there a way I can tell it to not parse what I'm sending using wsrequest? Fault: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxParsingException: String ']]>' not allowed in textual content, except as the end marker of CDATA section at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [63,5] [detail] sesameRDF.documentation = "Given an address returns a specific latitude and longitude" ; sesameRDF.safe = true;geocode.inputTypes = {"RDF_INPUT":"any"}; // I tried xml and string sesameRDF.outputType = ""; function sesameRDF(RDF_INPUT){ var sesame = new WSRequest(); var options = new Array(); options["useSOAP"] = "false"; options["HTTPMethod"] = "post"; sesame.open(options, 'http://localhost:8080/sesame/repositories/mysql/statements', false); var request = RDF_INPUT; yahoo.send(request); }

Did you try escaping the special characters mentioned in the log (String ']]>' ) ?

Downloaded XMLspy and xml sent to woodstox is well formed. I'm getting a new error. I have two questions, if someone can shed some light that would be great? 1) Is there a way to make send method on wsrequest not to parse the data but send it? 2) How do I post data using scraper/web-harvest? Here is the latest error, I can't locate that location because I have a large xml file. Fault: org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxUnexpectedCharException: Unexpected character 'o' (code 111) in prolog; expected '<' at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [1,1]

1) Is there a way to make send method on wsrequest not to parse the data but send it? You can send a "string" using WSRequest. Ex: (from "yahooGeoCode" sample shipped with the MS)       var key = getApiKey();     if (key == null) throw("You must first provision this service with a valid Yahoo API Key.  See http://developer.yahoo.com/wsregapp/index.php.");     var yahoo = new WSRequest();     var options = new Array();     options["useSOAP"] = "false";     options["HTTPMethod"] = "get";     yahoo.open(options, "http://local.yahooapis.com/MapsService/V1/geocode", false);     var request = "<parameters><appid>" + key + "</appid><street>" + street + "</street><city>" + city + "</city><state>" + state + "</state></parameters>";     yahoo.send(request);     return yahoo.responseXML;   2) How do I post data using scraper/web-harvest? This link should help http://web-harvest.sourceforge.net/manual.php#http.   Tyrell  

The XML passed in the payload in the Yahoo example adheres to a specific XML schema, DTD. I tried changing the code to string. It's not working for me. Fault: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxParsingException: String ']]>' not allowed in textual content, except as the end marker of CDATA section at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [15,1212] [detail] sesameRDFLoad.documentation = "I'm using the Yahoo example" ; sesameRDFLoad.safe = true; sesameRDFLoad.inputTypes = {"RDF_INPUT":"string"}; sesameRDFLoad.outputType = "string"; function sesameRDFLoad(RDF_INPUT){ var sesame= new WSRequest(); var options = new Array(); options["useSOAP"] = "false"; options["HTTPMethod"] = "post"; sesame.open(options, 'http://localhost:8080/sesame/repositories/mysql/statements', false); var request = RDF_INPUT; /* RDF_INPUT is a string containing xml */ sesame.send(request); /* the send method is parsing the xml and failing because of library called woodstox is not ingesting RDF XML for some reason How do I tell send not to parse the xml and just pass it along? */ return "done"; }

There's no way to bypass the XML validation by woodstock AFAIK. Is the RDF input valid? You can validate it using http://www.w3.org/RDF/Validator/ Looks like the reserved marker ']]>' is somewhere within the input making the validation to fail.

Thanks Tyrell. But, RDF is validated and woodstox is not taking it. Hany Validation Results Your RDF document validated successfully. Fault: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxParsingException: String ']]>' not allowed in textual content, except as the end marker of CDATA section at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [25,3] [detail]

I tried a simple RDF file and it seems to be working. For complex RDF files, the parser seems to shoke. I wonder if Woodstox is compliant with the latest RDF schema standards. I'm running into another issue: any ideas? Fault: org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Read timed out [detail]

Fault: org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Read timed out [detail] This is a common fault when the service end point takes a long time to respond. I can't say what's causing it without the detailed log though. Tyrell

So we agree that woodstox the xml parser is not taking in RDF data. Is there a workaround? Hany

You can use the scraper object and the example I linked earlier to post data as well. Tyrell

Tyrell, I spent hours trying to get the scraper to use RDF as Var-def or a template. It wouldn't take it. It seems like that sending a binary data or a blob of data to any service is something that would be needed. Hany

Hany, It seems like we need something similar to the plain old XMLHttpRequest. The WSRequest object is similar, but specializes in accessing Web Services. It has been sufficient so far for our users to do REST calls as well. I opened a JIRA at https://wso2.org/jira/browse/MASHUP-1286. Please add additional info which you think would be helpful. Tyrell

It looks like part of the problem might be wrapping CDATA within another CDATA section. CDATA delimiters aren't recursive. If the RDF used & escaping instead would it avoid the problem?

The RDF sent doesn't have CDATA in a CDATA. Actually wsrequest failed for all RDF files. Hany

Thanks for a nice share you have given to us with such an large collection of information. Great work you have done by sharing them to all. simply superb. regards, http://www.superchinawholesale.com
