[bhaskarc1289447]

Hi All,

i am getting the below xml inside my ctx of rt event

<ctx>

                <userMessage>

                    <userData>

                        <abc.alpha.new.system.User>

                            <userType>Fixed</userType>

                            <userBackground>Regular</ userBackground>

                            <productBookingDate>2015-05-8</productBookingDate >

when I am using --->  rtEvent.ctx.userMessage.userData.abc.alpha.new.system.User.userBackground ----- i am getting empty value
even if I use rtEvent.ctx.userMessage.userData.("abc.alpha.new.system.User").userBackground i still get empty value

Kindly suggest how to parse this xml to retrieve the value of 'userBackground' 

Please

Hi @bhaskarc1289447 

Can you try this ? :

var doc = DOMDocument.fromXMLString(
    '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>' +
    rtEvent.ctx.toXMLString());

var userBackground = doc.root.getElements('userMessage')[0]
                  .getElements('userData')[0]
                  .getElements('abc.alpha.new.system.User')[0]
                  .getElements('userBackground')[0].textContent;

Hi @Sukrity_Wadhwa 

we tried the solution but it did not work as 'DOMDocument' was not recognized inside transactional Template

Hi @bhaskarc1289447 ,

The dot notation in the XML element causes the issue while parsing the XML.

Can you try this way by changing the payload: 

Instead of a dot use an underscore (abc_alpha_new_system_User) or CamelCase (abcAlphaNewSystemUser)

<ctx>

                <userMessage>

                    <userData>

                        <abc_alpha_new_system_User>

                            <userType>Fixed</userType>

                            <userBackground>Regular</ userBackground>

                            <productBookingDate>2015-05-8</productBookingDate >

And then try to access rtEvent.ctx.userMessage.userData.abc_alpha_new_system_User.userBackground.

Thanks,

Malarrajan Sundarraj.

Hello @bhaskarc1289447 
Please try 

ctx.userMessage.userData['abc.alpha.new.system.User'].userBackground

Hope this helps!
