error: Unexpected element: CDATA on Transfer / XmlHolder
Hi,
I currently have a response that returns the following Raw XML on a REST service:
The whole contents have a CDATA flag applied, which I would need to remove beforehand to carry on. I've used the SubmitListener.afterSubmit Event at a project level with the usual code (mentioned in the CDATA guide in the site):
But the replacement will only work for anything inside Main (inclusive). For example:
- a content = content.replaceAll( "data", "" ) or content = content.replaceAll( "contentType", "" ) does nothing.
- a content = content.replaceAll( "Main", "water" ) will replace correctly.
Ergo, I can never remove the CDATA tag.
----------------------------------------------
I've also tried to use a script and even Property Transfers to store the result into a property.
- Transfering the response to a property works, and I don't see the CDATA there afterwards (only from "Main" onwards, which might hint why the replace CDATA above fails to work).
Script:
This returns a "org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: error: Unexpected element: CDATA error at line:x", the getXmlHolder line.
The same happens if I try to use an XPath expression in a 2nd Property Transfer, with Source as the Property I started with.

Script:
// allServices is the step name
def inputHolder = "allServices#Response"
def holderRawReq = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder(inputHolder)
This returns a "org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: error: Unexpected element: CDATA error at line:x", the getXmlHolder line.
