AjxUtil.xmlToJs can't handle namespaces

[smies]

The AjxUtil.xmlToJs method can't handle namespaces in attribute tags.
The response of a SOAP request:

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:env=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">



http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encodin ... /encoding/">

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encodin ... /encoding/" xsi:type="n2:Array">



1





2





3





4












The result after it is been processed by AjxUtil.xmlToJs (I stripped the whitespaces where I also are having problems with):

{

Body:{

FindAllProductsResponse: {

xmlns:n1:"urn:ActionWebService",

env:encodingStyle: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/",

return:{

n2:arrayType:"xsd:int[4]",

xmlns:n2:http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/",

xsi:type:"n2:Array",

"",

item:{

"1"

},

item:{

"2"

},

item:{

"3"

},

item:{

"4"

}

}

}

}

}


If you use the eval function on this then it obviously brakes on xmlns:n1 and so on.
I wrote a little fix:

AjxUtil.xmlToJs =

function(node, omitName) {
if (node.nodeType == AjxUtil.TEXT_NODE)

return ['"', node.data, '"'].join("");
var name = node.name ? node.name : node.localName;

if (node.nodeType == AjxUtil.ELEMENT_NODE) {

var text = omitName ? "{" : [name, ":{"].join("");

var needComma = false;

if (node.attributes ) {

for (var i = 0; i
var attr = node.attributes;

if (attr.name == "xmlns") continue;

if (needComma) text += ",";

var value = AjxUtil.isNumeric(attr.value) ? attr.value : AjxUtil.jsEncode(attr.value);

var attr_name = attr.name

var indexdblp = attr_name.indexOf(":")

if(indexdblp != -1 ) attr_name = attr_name.substr(indexdblp+1)
text = [text, attr_name, ':', value].join("");

needComma = true;

}

}

if (node.hasChildNodes()) {



var cnodes = new Object();

var hasChild = false;

for (var i = 0; i
var child = node.childNodes;

var cname = child.name ? child.name : child.localName;



var isAttr = AjxUtil.NODE_IS_ATTR[cname] ||

(name == "content" && parent.name == "note");



if (isAttr) {

if (needComma) text += ",";

text = [text, cname, ':', AjxUtil.jsEncode(child.textContent)].join("");

needComma = true;

} else {

if (!cnodes[cname])

cnodes[cname] = new Array();

cnodes[cname].push(child);

hasChild = true;

}

}

if (hasChild && needComma) {text += ","; needComma = false;}

for (var cname in cnodes) {



if (needComma) {

text += ",";

needComma = false;

}

var repeats = AjxUtil.NODE_REPEATS[cname] ||

(cname == "mp" && name == "mp");

if (repeats) text += cname + ":[";

var clist = cnodes[cname];

for (var i = 0; i
if (needComma) text += ",";

text += AjxUtil.xmlToJs(clist, repeats);

needComma = true;

}

if (repeats) text += "]";

}

}

text += "}";

}
return text;

}


Somewhere in the code there are the lines:

var indexdblp = attr_name.indexOf(":")

if(indexdblp != -1 ) attr_name = attr_name.substr(indexdblp+1)
text = [text, attr_name, ':', value].join("");
They take care of the namespaces by removing them.

I created Web Services in Ms.Net and the result return as below:


http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instan ... a-instance" xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

it failed to create xmldoc from the above message.

Then i remove , it success....
This occurs only in IE, Firefox is fine.
Help please...

[smies]

What kind of error do you get when you try with the header?

[9648sirick]

This will not cause an error from CreateXmlFromString

But error occurred in _check function.
the doc will retrun with 2 childnodes...

one for

and another one for
_check function will check for only valid return is only one childnode for doc.

[smies]

I also had problems with the _check method. Because the AJAX xml methods don´t ignore whitespaces there are more elements in the xml document then _check expects. I already opend a tread about that problem.
Maybe you can right a fix for the problem and share the code with us.

[9648sirick]

The main issue for me is the problem occurs only in IE.

Somebody opend a new thread with the same problem (or is it?). See http://www.zimbra.com/forums/showthread.php?t=638 for your answer.
