parsing in-memory log using java rather than iwxml.pm

Hi all,
By any chance has anyone been able to parse the deployment infostream using java rather than perl using iwxml.pm.

Is there a way for me to parse the in-memory xml formatted logs using java withouth having to provide the filename of the manifest file.

I can parse xml files using java, im just wondering if there is a way to find out the list of files that were successfully deployed/unsuccessfuly deployed using java without having to provide the location of the manifest file.

I haven't tried to do it - but given that the in-memory log that is passed to a DNR script is in XML format - you should be able to parse it the same way the IWXML.pm does - just write the equivalent code in Java.

Or am I missing some nuance here that prevents you from being able to do that?

Hi Ghoti,
Thanks for your reply. Maybe the way i am running the DNR is wrong or my perl code is wrong. In order for iwxml.pm to work i have to manually pass in the manifest file and this file has a new name for each instance.

The reason i am doing it in java is because the client does not want to do anything in perl, they'd much rather prefer java.

Am i supposed to pass in the filename for the manifest file in order for iwxml.pm to work?

you can also use delivery adapters that will give you the same information. there is an example delivery adapter od-home/adapters/delivery/example/AdapterExample.java
that will do the same. I am trying it out myself. will let you know how it goes

In your DNR script - read the contents of <STDIN> into a variable:

my $xml = do { local $/; <STDIN> };

and then dump it into a temporary file - this should show you all the information that IWXML.pm is normally used to process - and should also provide you insight as to how to write the same functionality in Java.
