PostXMLData

[NYPoke]

I am using 360Works to implement an XML Request. I have to export FileMaker Data, to implement a Stylesheet that translates the XML into the format I need.

For PostXMLData ( PostXMLData( url ; xml ; soapaction ) ), the second parameter is the XML. Do we have anyway to use a FileName here, rather than importing the XML backinto FileMaker?

I rarely use XML, so maybe this is an XML issue rather than a 360Works issue.

Something like "?XML file='c:\360Works\testdata.xml' " maybe?

I think you would need to get the contents of the file in your function. Do a search on how to read a text file's contents in Groovy; it shouldn't be hard.

Dan, thanks. That was about what I was thinking. However, I think I'll just use some Calculations & Scripts and build the XML within FileMaker. No need to use Stylesheets, if I don't need them.

We aren't dealing with complicated XML. Plus, I won't have to deal with the Exports on our Client Machines & Remote Desktop.

I'll just build the XML myself & keep it all consolidated inside FileMaker.
