XML List Method Support

In this section:

The iWay Application Adapter for J.D. Edwards EnterpriseOne uses the XML List method to collect a list of records from EnterpriseOne. XML List is built on the EnterpriseOne Table Conversion (TC) engine. It takes an XML document as a request and returns an XML document containing data. A list can represent data in a table, a business view, or data from a table conversion. Using data from a table conversion allows you to use multiple tables.

You can send the request through JDENET to perform any of the following operations:

The following diagram illustrates the enterprise server side architecture of the XML List kernel.

For more information on the Create List, Get Template, Get Group, and Delete List operations, refer to the J.D. Edwards Interoperability Guide.

List Retrieval Engine Table Conversion Wrapper

The List Retrieval Engine is an optimized database engine that provides and manages access to XML repository files. Each XML list repository file is a pair of index and data files with *.idb and *.ddb extensions. The IDB file keeps an index generated on a data file, and the DDB file keeps data generated by the table conversion engine. The Table Conversion Wrapper is a system module that aggregates list-retrieval and list-processing APIs from the Table Conversion Engine and the List Retrieval Engine, and provides a uniform access to it for XML List.

To keep and manage repository files, the List Retrieval Engine uses a predefined folder as its system directory. This system directory must be configured in the jde.ini file as described in Modifying the jde.ini File for the List Retrieval Engine.
