Character problems in creating dynamic XML in Java

[pca]

Hello everyone,

 

 

 

I'm using Java to create the XML data required for the Fusion Charts. I create a string containing the xml code and then pass it to the Chart with setDataXML. The chart will load with data obtained from a DB and that data may change if a new timeline is selected. I'm trying to create a pie chart with a link to a javascript function. Here is where things get tricky.

 

 

 

If I do:

 

 xmlStr += " link="JavaScript:jsMethod('" + parameter + "')"" ; 

 

the chart loads correctly at first, but if I try to get a different set of data it will return 'Invalid XML data'

 

 

 

If I try:

 

 xmlStr += " link="JavaScript:jsMethod('" + parameter + "')"" ; 

 

the page loads with 'Invalid XML data' but it works fine when selecting a different set of data.

 

The same happens if I try:

 

 xmlStr += " link='JavaScript:jsMethod(& apos;" + parameter + "& apos; )'" ; 

 

(In my code the & apos; is together)

 

 

 

Any idea of what is wrong? Does the setDataXML method do something different the first time it is called from following calls?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Could you please use this?

If you are using DataXML method please use this

 xmlStr += " link='JavaScript:jsMethod(%26apos;" + parameter + "%26apos; )'" ;

If you are using DataURL method please use this

 xmlStr += " link='JavaScript:jsMethod('" + parameter + "' )'" ;

Hi

 

 

 

First of all a correction. In my first post where it says

 

 

If I do:

 

xmlStr += " link="JavaScript:jsMethod('" + parameter + "')"" ;

 

 

 

 

should be: xmlStr += " link=& quot;JavaScript:jsMethod('" + parameter + "')& quot;" ;

 

 

 

I can see now why it would return 'Invalid XML data'. But I still can't understand why it wouldn't return that error on all ocasions.
