Creating XML Node Sets From A Delimited String In BPEL

Sometimes we need to create a custom node set from a delimited string value. The following is the one of the way to create the same.


  • Bring an Assign activity and add a create-nodeset-from-delimited-string function to the target node and put the parameters as mentioned below.
    • First parameter : qname (This is the element name which is generate from the deliminated string)
    • Second Parameter : Delimited String
    • Third Parameter : Delimiter
  • It will generate the number of delimited sting entities to the same number of first parameter element node set. 
  • We can copy the whole node set using copy list operation in an Assign activity.
  • In the below example the function generate the same number of result element node set as in the input parameter has the number of words separated by comma(,).
For Example : 


<assign name="AssignInput">
      <bpelx:copyList>
        <bpelx:from expression="oraext:create-nodeset-from-delimited-string('{http://xmlns.oracle.com/DelimitedStringDemo}result'
        ,bpws:getVariableData('inputVariable','payload','/client:process/client:input'),',')"/>
        <bpelx:to variable="outputVariable" part="payload"
                  query="/client:processResponse/client:result"/>
      </bpelx:copyList>
    </assign>
