Merge signed XML into another XML between CDATA element; any way: merge, repstr, i/o xmlinsert #xpa

Hello all,
has anyone done this? When i check the 1st xml for dig signature validation, it works. But when i put this 1st XML into the 2nd one between the CDATA element, it breaks the signature and 0 signatures are detected. I asked for the example of the file and mine seems exactly the same, except it doesn't work. And that is the only help I got from the web service provider ... "until the xml doesn't go trough the validator, it won't work. So fix your xml." that is the respond I got.
If I validate 2nd xml, it works. But after adding it into the 1st xml the validator finds 0 signatures.
Any help is appreciated. A |

Obviously, I know nothing about this web service, but I do see something odd about your syntax. Specifically, I see two extra square brackets in the first CDATA tag as well as an extra CDATA tag. I believe the line should look like this: <![CDATA[ here goes the 2nd xml ]]> <!{CDATA[ ]]> does not appear to require a closing tag. Was that why you included the second one? Steven G. Blank

Well that's how it' done in the example. Last night i took some time to study CDATA and i also came across the same observation as you did Steven.
The sent file has two stages of validation. The 1st validation is on the data that is actually sent and the 2nd validation is the signature. The 1st validation is ok, so the data sent is ok. The problem is the signature itself, which can't be found. I have checked that i do have the ID reference in the document and than the same ID in the URI of the signature. It is frustrating since i went line by line comparison between theirs example and mine. I can't find the difference in the structure. The sad part is that even their example fails when trying to validate the xml file ... I should have mentioned that at the end, the 1st xml is again put into another xml between CDATA ... So i have basically 3 xml files. 3rd goes into 2nd and 2nd goes into 1st ... And the 3rd xml file has signature. And after merging the 3rd and 2nd, the validation fails ... I will try to do it without the closing tags. Thank you. |

I did it from scratch and this time I used only "Merge" with Output form. And I got it working. I lost 14 days, because the person at the helpdesk does not know what their web service does. |
