I have the following test XML file which I'm trying to use inside the Web JS designer. To do this I created an xml connection using the following parameters:

Name : Cities
Alias : Cities
XML Type : Xml
Path to XML Data : /home/purvez/DevSW/Stimulsoft/Cities.xml

The data inside the file looks like this:

Code: Select all

	<Cities>
		<City>
			<id>1</id>
			<CityName>London</CityName>
		</City>
		<City>
			<id>2</id>
			<CityName>Paris</CityName>
		</City>
	</Cities>

However when I create the connection it is not showing me any tables. I was expecting to see table Cities.

I have tried removing the <Cities> node but that didn't make any difference. Please can someone tell me if I need to add any additional nodes or do something else to allow the Web Designer to recognise the data in the JS version.

Many thanks

Purvez

Aleksey, thanks very much for the response. I tried to use that file but after I create the connection I get Import Data screen but without any of the tables underneath. I had set the XML Type field to be Xml.

Here is the info I entered to created the connection:

and then this is the Import Data screen that I get:

I'm clearly not understanding something here. Thanks for your continued help.

Just to clarify I'm using the JS directory under the 2017.1.3-Pack/Libs. Do I need to use anything else as well? My connections to MySQL data all work fine.

Thanks

I just realised what the problem was. Since I'm calling up the JS designer from a web page it needed the data to be relative to the path of the web page. My data.xml was not initially inside my web folder. By moving it there I have been able to get the data.

I'm sorry for having wasted your time.

Thanks for all your patience and help.
