store xml string in a variable

Arif shah

<p>Hi,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am trying to store an xml string from a dataset row into a pgv. However, when I try to retriew the string from pgv, it removes all the xml tags from the string. I don't know whether these xml tags are removed during the creation of pgv or during the retrieval of the pgv.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Can someone please tell me what is the best way to store an xml string into a variable without the tags being removed</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regards</p>
<p>Arif</p>

<p>What version are you using?  Do you a have a simple example that illustrates your issue?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you are storing a string in a PGV, the string will not be stripped of the XML tags.  In my attached example, I am storing an XML string in the beforeFactory event.  The complete string is displayed in the final report output.  No XML tags were stripped or removed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To make sure everything was working in my example, I added logger events (available in commercial BIRT) that writes directly to the Eclipse Error Log in the IDE UI.  You'll see the beforeFactory and beforeRender writing out the PGV to make sure that entire string was not modified.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>Tip:  If you don't know where in your code is failing, you can either add debug/logging statements or use the Eclipse Debug mode to walk through your code.</em></p>

<p>BTW, I've replied in the other thread regarding using the reading your web service directly in a Scripted Data Source instead of storing it a PGV @ <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/topic/36942-scripted-dataset-to-parse-a-dynamic-xml-string/#entry138486'>http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/topic/36942-scripted-dataset-to-parse-a-dynamic-xml-string/#entry138486</a></p&gt;
