messagecount in enevelope

[Hans]

Hi All,

I was wondering if there's an easy way to know how many messages there are in a  XML envelope.

should i use out.getcountoccurrences({'BOTSID':'HEA'},{'BOTSID':'MESSAGE'}) in the envelope? It seems that this only works in a mappingscript?

Best regards,

Hans

it has to be counted that is for sure.

that works in a mappingscript.

where do you want to use it? in an envelopescript?

kind regards, Henk-Jan Ebbers

Hi Henk-Jan,

I need the messagecount in the XML envelope so the receiver knows how many messages are contained in the transmission.
So i thought i had to count the includes in the envelopescript, but that always returns 0. And any other mpath check gives the same value or mpath-error.

I've added the envelopescript i'm using for reference.

this line is not correct AFAICS :

messageCount = self.out.getcountoccurrences({'BOTSID': '{http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude}include'})
        

would expect the xml tag names here

Hi Henk-Jan,

I would expect that too, but i receive mpath errors when i try to count the actual XML tag name.

messageCount = self.out.getcountoccurrences({'BOTSID':'transmission'},{'BOTSID': 'message'})

Parameter mpath is not valid according to grammar: ({'BOTSIDnr': u'1', 'BOTSID': 'transmission'}, {'BOTSIDnr': u'1', 'BOTSID': 'message'})

messageCount = self.out.getcountoccurrences({'BOTSID':'message'})

Parameter mpath is not valid according to grammar: ({'BOTSIDnr': u'1', 'BOTSID': 'message'},)

Which grammar is this check based on? the envelope grammar? then it's correct it thows an error.

envelope grammar:

structure = [
{ID:'transmission',MIN:1,MAX:99999,LEVEL:[
{ID:'{http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude}include',MIN:0,MAX:99999},
]},
]

does it work when you turn off grammar checks?

well, it doesn't throw an error anymore, but it also still doesn't count the occurrences.

The value is still 0.

try something along the lines of:

self.out.root.display()

at end of enveloping script to see what is there

It doens't show me anythig, except if i use

messageCount = self.out.getcountoccurrences({'BOTSID': '{http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude}include'})

 {'BOTSIDnr': u'1', 'transmission__messageCount': u'0', 'BOTSID': u'transmission'}
     {}
     {}
     {}

what is the result of the enveloping?

I do get a good looking enveloped result, only the messagecount attribute is missing.

self.out.put({'BOTSID':'transmission','transmission__messageCount':messageCount})

messageCount = 0 so there's no output

        for filename in ta_list:
            self.out.put({'BOTSID':'transmission'},{'BOTSID':include,include + '__parse':'xml',include + '__href':filename})

think len(ta_list) would be good?
