  • 1.  Can someone provide JAR file to add a custom filter which would convert JSON to XML in LISA 7.5.1

    Posted Feb 18, 2016 07:34 PM

    Hi All,

     

    currently we are having a java code using JSON Object to convert the JSON to XML in which we are using jar file named org.json-20120521(got from google docs) and below is the code:-

     

    import com.itko.util.ParameterList;

    import java.lang.String;

     

    import org.json.JSONObject;

     

    // Manipulate request body text

    String theBody = lisa_vse_request.getBodyText();

    //lisa_vse_request.setBodyText("theBody");

    testExec.setStateValue("theBody",theBody);

     

     

    JSONObject o = new JSONObject(theBody);

    String xmlResult = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?><JSON2XML>";

    xmlResult += org.json.XML.toString(o) + "</JSON2XML>";

    testExec.setStateValue("XML",xmlResult);

     

    Kindly let me know how can we create a custom filter to perform this feature?

    Hi Vinit, the 7.5.1 docs may no longer be online - not sure.  Here are some links from 8.0 and 8.5 describing how to create custom filters.  The process for creating a filter has remained the same for quite a few releases.  The compiler used to compile your JAR is about the only difference.

    Extending Filters - DevTest Solutions - 8.0 - CA Technologies Documentation

    At a high level, you could add the code above as an override to the subPostFilter method.  But you also need to create initialize() and getParameters() methods in addition to defining a few other properties and methods to complete the filter.

     

    As you are also probably aware, you can convert the JSON into XML when the request hits the LISTEN step using a Scriptable DPH or by rolling your own custom DPH.  I believe you already know this since I see the lisa_vse_request.setBodyText(theBody) line that is commented out in your code.  Thanks, Joel
