XML and InStream

cnicola

Hi everybody,

I have the following situation. One of my functions will provide me with
a reference to an XML Document:
_XMLDocument Automation 'Microsoft XML, v3.0'.DOMDocument
(I am reading from a message queue using CPHandler).
Now for the rest of the stuff I need to do I need to get this XML into an InStream. The obvious way is to save the XML to a file, open the file and the create an instream from it.
But I would like to see if there is another way to do this without going out to the harddrive.
Any ideas are appreciated.

This should work:

Name DataType
xmlDoc Automation 'Microsoft XML, v3.0'.DOMDocument
_inStr InStream
Rec Record (with a "XML DOM" BLOB field)

Rec."XML DOM".CREATEINSTREAM(_inStr);
xmlDoc.save(_inStr);
Rec.MODIFY;

Thanks Bruno. That did the trick.
