<source> tag issue

[Juan José De La Torre León]

Hi, I'm trying to render an XML based on this Lift Cookbook Snippet :: http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1234000000030/ch04.html#GoogleSitemap

This is the XML content ::

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

<source>

    <publisher>Talenteca</publisher>

    <publisherurl>https://www.talenteca.co</publisherurl>

    <lastBuildDate>Fri, 10 Dec 2004 22:49:39 GMT</lastBuildDate>

    <job>

        <title><![CDATA[Sales Executive]]></title>

        <date><![CDATA[Fri, 10 Dec 2005 22:49:39 GMT]]></date>

        <referencenumber><![CDATA[unique123131]]></referencenumber>

    </job>

</source>

This is how it gets rendered:: 

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

It's a strange behaviour. 

If a replace the <source> tag with any other tag name. ex <dummy>  .. The file will render perfectly.

Hope I can have some insights about this.

Thanks a lot

Juan José

I think we're going to need more context than that. What do your transforms look like? What

results are you expecting given what input data?

Thanks,

Hi Antonio, 

Right now it's not binded to a snippet.

I just wanted to test XML request and then have a proper XML response. But I'm getting the incomplete XML 

Thanks

Ah, I see. How are you serving this XML response? If you're running it through Lift's standard

rendering pipeline, then you'll be in a situation where the XML is being read from the filesystem

using the HTML5 parser. In HTML5, source is a valid element, but an empty one, so the HTML5

parser will throw out any contents it may have (sometimes these will become siblings, but an

XML document can only have one root, so that'll probably affect the results).

If I'm right about this, that means we need to fix the cookbook to indicate that you must use the

XML reader in these cases. You can do this by doing something like:

LiftRules.htmlProperties.default.set({ request: Req =>

  if (request.path.suffix == "xml") {

    OldHtmlProperties(request.userAgent)

  } else {

    Html5Properties(request.userAgent)

  }

})

This will use the XHTML reader and writer, which don't handle HTML validation or failure modes.

An even better alternative would be to use the XML reader directly, but I'm not 100% sure exactly

what that would look like at the moment. Richard, if I'm right about this, I guess we'd need to update

the cookbook…

Thanks,

Antonio

Nice example. I'll take a look at that recipe when I'm back at a laptop at the end of the week.

Thanks

Thanks Antonio, that was the issue, now its working perfectly.

[Antonio Salazar Cardozo]

Awesome, glad to hear it!

[Richard Dallaway]

Thank you. I’ve now updated that example to include the LiftRules.htmlProperties change.

Feedback, as always, welcome.

Richard

Looks great!
