Hi,

I’m new to webMethods and have been trying to implement sample flow services. I’m trying to parse an XML to get all the tag names contained in the XML to a string list. I’m assuming that the flow will not know the number of tags contained in the document.
This is how I went ahead with the solution…
[HTML] getFile
StringtoXMLNode
Repeat (loop1)
getXMLNodeIterator
Repeat(loop2)
getNextXMLNode
Branch(on next/name)
if next node is null then exit loop2
else append tag name to string list, map the current node to next node[/HTML]

Now the problem i’m facing… For this sample xml,

[HTML]<?xml version="1.0"?>


1
2


3
4


[/HTML]
the expected output is

Step1
Step11
Variable1
Variable2
Step12
Variable3
Variable4

instead i get

Step1
Step11
Step12
Variable3
Variable4

The same holds good if i increase the number of tags in the same level. the iterator only picks up the inside tag names of the last tag in the same level. What am i doing wrong? Hope I have not been confusing in this post.

Thanks.
