Hi,

i am unable to read the following data through xml input stage.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<XML>
<product>
<number>123</number>
<color><blue></color>
<location>A</location>
</product>
</XML>

Here i have issue with <color><blue></color>.

Thanks
Kris

What issue, exactly? Does everything else parse out, just not that? Is there an error or warning generated? You really haven't given us any information about your job either - for example the XPath Expressions you are using in the XML Input stage, in particular for this element.

Yes...what is the symptom? If <blue> is truly the value of the element, then it should have been escaped (the carets should not be visible like that in the raw xml)....you should instead see < and >

I am not getting any warnings/errors.But it stop reading from <color><blue></color>.
<blue> is not an element it is data for color element.

You've got bad XML. As noted, it should look like this:

<color><blue></color>

Ask whomever supplied / generated it to correct the problem.
