Create XPath Expressions Based on Schema or WSDLs

Administrator Guide

Create an assembly containing 1 of these steps:

java-to-xml

validate

xml-to-java

In Workday Studio, the XPath Expression Builder enables you to create XPath expressions based on selected schema or WSDLs.

On the

Properties

view of 1 of these steps, click

Build XPath Expression

, next to the

XPath

property:

java-to-xml

validate

xml-to-java

On the lower pane of the

XPath Expression Builder

wizard, select the schema or WSDL element that the XPath expression will match. As you complete the task, consider:

Option	Description
Show Messages	By default, Studio displays WSDL elements as messages. To display them as interface definitions with portTypes , operations, input messages, and output messages, deselect this option.
Prefix SOAP	By default, Studio prefixes the XPath expressions you create with this expression, as shown in the upper text pane: env:Envelope/env:Body . To remove the prefix, deselect this option.

If required, you can edit the XPath expression manually in the upper text pane. Example: you might want to use a predicate to filter the nodeset that the XPath returns.
