ABAP_DESCRIPTION
In this example a UUID is created and passed with the data types XSDUUID_CHAR and SYSUUID_C32 to the predefined identity transformation
ID . The UUID of the type XSDUUID_CHAR is recognized as such and converted into the corresponding XML schema data type . However, the UUID of the type SYSUUID_C32 is understood as a regular text field and passed unconverted in accordance with the corresponding rules for the mapping of elementary ABAP types .
When the new XML data is deserialized using the simple transformation DEMO_UUID , an attempt is made to convert both nodes to ABAP UUIDs of type XSDUUID_CHAR . This only works for the first node, which exists in the correct XML schema data type
. In the case of the second node, which exists as unformatted text, an exception is raised.
The example shows that it is possible to work with XML schema data types without having to use self-defined conversions. However, it also shows that when using XML schema data types it is important to pay attention to the correct assignment of data types.
