XML Import Invalid Document Structure

[Princebaskar]

As a Newbie in Filemaker, I'm having a hard time trying to import a XML feed from a web service, transform it with a XSLT stylesheet and import it in a Filemaker DB.

The import script is giving me an error: "Invalid Document Structure"

Any help will be grateful!

The document structure is

<itemList>

<Item>

<product_id>Product ID</product_id>

<manufacturer_part_number>Manufacturer PN<manufacturer_part_number />

<product_dateadded>M/D/YYYY</product_dateadded>

<category_ids>0123</category_ids>

<product_shortdesc>Product Short Desc</product_shortdesc>

<product_detail>Product detail</product_detail>

<product_univ>false</product_univ>

<product_barcode>0123456789</product_barcode>

<product_blu>false</product_blu>

<product_25mm>false</product_25mm>

<product_picture_0>picture.jpg</product_picture_0>

<model_ids>0123</model_ids>

<quantity>1</quantity>

<price>2.2500</price>

<product_msrp>19.9900</product_msrp>

<product_manufacture>BRAND</product_manufacture>

</Item>

<Item>

The XSLT is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

[comment]

If that is the exact XML document you are trying to import, then it is indeed invalid. The <itemList> element is never closed, and a new <Item> is opened at the end.

This, too is invalid:

<manufacturer_part_number>Manufacturer PN<manufacturer_part_number />

It should be:

<manufacturer_part_number>Manufacturer PN</manufacturer_part_number>

You have:

<xsl:template match='/Item'>

AND:

<xsl:for-each select="/Item">

This is causing the <METADATA> and actually *everything* to repeat for each /Item.

Change the xsl:template match='/' (root of the document you are importing). And put it right after your opening xsl:stylesheet. What no xsl:output ??

And this:

</xsl:template>

</FMPXMLRESULT>

should be:

</FMPXMLRESULT>

</xsl:template>
