I have recently started using OSB and i came across the feature "replace entire node or replace node contents". Could anyone help me in listing out the difference between the two with examples.
This is a very basic question but i just started learning osb and wanted to get this right.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers..
OK, let's assume you have a variable, $body. Your proxy has done some stuff, and already has $body set, and you want to run it through an xquery transform before you return it.
$body will be something like
<soap:Body xmlns:soap="etc">
<ns0:response xmlns:ns0="etc2">
<ns0:item>
<!-- etc etc -->
</ns0:item>
</ns0:response>
</soap:Body>
If you replace the entire node, you must replace it with a <soap:Body>. (I mean, you could replace it with something different, but you'll encounter an error somewhere because OSB expects $body to be a certain type)
If you replace the node contents, you may replace it with anything: perhaps a transformed <ns0:response>, but it's common to replace it with totally different elements. Either way, the <soap:Body> element is unaffected, and all the insides are scooped out and replaced.
Most of the time, you'll replace node contents of $body rather than replacing the entire node, but if it's a variable you've created yourself, it could go either way depending on what you want.

I am currently working on a Character Customization System where a HUDLayout dynamically create Widgets based on a set of Skins available for the Character Selected. A Skin is represented as a Struct called MaterialInstanceContainer and holds a TArray. Player can mix and match their selection according to the Body Parts they select. In order to achieve the final result, I want to create a TMap<string, MaterialInstanceContainer> so that I can map each BodyParts available for selection with the individual material instance targeting the same BodyPart.
ISSUE: My issue is as follow, when I try to foreach over my collection of Material Instances inside my Container, I do a string comparison and if the output is valid, I can then break my struct to access the Material Instance Array and ADD to it however, at the very end of the process, the length of the array inside Material Container is still at zero.
How can I add a new entry in the array that my Material Container Struct hold?
Thanks!

The issue here is actually pretty straight forward: in Blueprints when you 'Find' a member of Map you are not getting it by-reference, instead you get the copy.
This is exactly what happens at the end of your nested loop: You get a copy, you add item to it, and when another iteration kicks-in the copy gets terminated.
And here on my side it returns exactly the same result as expected:
The fix for that would be easy:
After editing a Copy, you can overwrite the Map member by its copy (via 'Add' node).
But in your case it will be more tricky. You cannot just plug the same BreakStruct/Array node that you just used because it would call whole Find sequence again which creates another copy. Look
If you are confused. This code actually looks like this for Unreal's point of view.
So you have to store the the Struct in local variable first, then perform any operations on it and after everything is done - overwrite the Map member by its locally stored copy. And the result is
Map member gets overwritten every time and everything is as it should be.
Well, almost... For some reason your code is stored in Macro. I think you have to change it to a Function to be able to create local struct variable. But it shouldn't be a problem in this specific case because in your code there is no logic that needs to be done in macro.
Hope, it helps
I cannot seem to find anything about using the values of one property of an object in a foreach loop (without having the entire object placed into the loop).
I first create a function called UFGet-Servers that uses Get-ADComputer and returns the names of the servers in a specific OU in my environment and places them in an array. That's great, except that when I use the array in a foreach loop, each object that it grabs has #[Name=serverName] in it, which I cannot use in any useful manner. The following pseudo-code is an abbreviated example:
foreach($Computer in $ComputerNames){do code... code is adding the server name into a UNC path such as "\\$Computer\C$\"}
The problem with the above is that you can't add the whole object to a path -- it ends up looking like "\#[Name=serverNameHere]\C$\" which totally bombs out. How do I get rid of the "#[property=" part, and simply use the value as the $Computer in the loop?
What really weirds me out is that I can't find a straightforward article on this anywhere... would have thought everyone and their mom would have wanted to do something like this.
So, your issue isn't with ForEach loops, it is with string formatting. There are two ways that I know of to take care of what you need. First is going to be string formatting, which allows you to use {0}m {1} and so on to inject values into a string, providing that you follow the string with -f and a list of said values. Such as:
ForEach($Computer in $ComputerNames){
"The Server Path is \\{0}\Share$" -f $Computer.Name
}
The second way is a sub-expression (I'm sure somebody will correct me if I used the wrong term there). This one involves enclosing the variable and desired property (or a function, or whatever) inside $(). This will evaluate whatever is inside the parenthesis before evaluating the string. See my example:
ForEach($Computer in $ComputerNames){
"The Server Path is \\$($Computer.name)\Share$"
}
I'm facing an issue with libxml2 (version 2.7.8.13).
I'm attempting to dump a node while parsing an in-memory document with a xmlTextReaderPtr reader.
So upon parsing the given node, I use xmlNodeDump() to get its whole content, and then switch to the next node.
Here is how I proceed:
[...]
// get the xmlNodePtr from the text reader
node = xmlTextReaderCurrentNode(reader);
// allocate a buffer to dump into
buf = xmlBufferCreate();
// dump the node
xmlNodeDump(buf, node->doc, node, 0 /* level of indentation */, 0 /* disable formatting */);
result = strdup((char*)xmlBufferContent(buf));
This works in most cases, but sometimes the result is missing some children from the parsed node. For instance, the whole in-memory xml document contains
[...]
<aList>
<a>
<b>42</b>
<c>aaa</c>
<d/>
</a>
<a>
<b>43</b>
...
</aList>
and I get something like:
<aList>
<a>
<b>42</b>
</c>
</a>
</aList>
The result is well formed but it lacks some data ! A whole bunch of children has "disappeared". xmlNodeDump() should recursively dumps all children of .
It looks like some kind of size limitation.
I guess I do something wrong, but I can't figure out what.
Thank you for your answers.
I succeeded in implementing this correctly another way, still I do not understand what happened there. Thank you for having read my question.
FYI, instead of trying to tinker an existing parsing code based on xmlTextReader, I have just rewritten a small parsing module for my case (dump all the 1st level siblings into separate memory chunks).
I did so by using the parsing and tree modules of libxml2, so:
get the tree from the in-memory xml document with xmlReadMemory()
get the first node with xmlDocGetRootElement()
for each sibling (with xmlNextElementSibling() ), dump its content (all children recursively) with xmlNodeDump()
Et voilà, kinda straightforward actually. Sometimes it's easier to start from scratch...
I guess there was some side effect.
While generating an XML content, I get an empty node <node/>, and I want it to be <node></node>. (Since <node></node> is the correct form of c14n, the progress called "converting empty elements to start-end tag pairs")
How should I convert it?
There's a way hinted by Jim Garrison(Thank you) to do this,
by using xmlBufferCreate, xmlSaveToBuffer, xmlSaveDoc, xmlSaveClose
with xmlSaveOption: XML_SAVE_NO_EMPTY
Take a look at the libxml2 documentation, specifically xmlSaveOption value XML_SAVE_NO_EMPTY
I found another way which is easier when the nodes are generated under control, by simply giving value "" to the node.
Given a valid, arbitrary xmlNodePtr, I would like the string representation of that node, including the tag, attributes, and children in the same form (recursive).
FWIW, my scenario is I am using PerformXPathQuery to get a block of data from within an existing document. I need to get the results of the query, which has nested XML elements in it, as the raw string, so I can insert it into a text field.
These seems like a simple task, however I cannot find an easy way. Writing an xmlDocPtr to file must do this, however, I cannot see a handy method that will do the same thing to an arbitrary node in the tree, and return it in memory.
I hope I am just going blind from the brown-on-brown documentation color scheme at xmlsoft.org
Is xmlNodeDump (or xmlNodeDumpOutput) what you are looking for?
My code I used to dump a node to a string. It's objectiv-c so just change your output as needed.
xmlBufferPtr buffer = xmlBufferCreate();
int size = xmlNodeDump(buffer, myXMLDoc, myXMLNode, 0, 1);
NSLog(#"%d", size);
NSLog(#"%s", buffer->content);
Don't forget to free your buffer again.
One way you could do it definitely is to create a new document, then use xmlDocCopyNode to copy the node into it and serialize it.
