[Python-au] xml.dom.minidom

[Andy Dent]

I believe this is more like what you're after (yes, it works).

kSample = """<Order>
<OrderId>12345</OrderId>
<Date>12/03/2002</Date>
</Order>
"""

from xml.dom.minidom import parseString
#import Order
#import OrderLine

class OrderMessageProcessor(object):

    def __init__ (self,data=None):

        #self.order = Order.Order()
        self.data = data

    def processOrder(self):

        xmlTree = parseString(self.data)
        assert xmlTree.documentElement.tagName == 'Order'

        order = xmlTree.getElementsByTagName('Order')[0]
        orderID = order.getElementsByTagName('OrderId')[0]
        # we are now concerned with the contents of the element,
        # which are parsed as child nodes of class Node
        # the nodeName is #text as this is pure text content
        orderIDValue = orderID.firstChild.nodeValue
        print orderIDValue
        xmlTree.unlink()


def testDOM():
    omp = OrderMessageProcessor(kSample)
    omp.processOrder()


if __name__ == '__main__':
	testDOM()
