XML

Parameters
Lets you specify which layout to render. The first layout is layout
1. You can also specify a layout by name.
String
layout
Lets you specify the XML file containing the data to import. The
paginate parameter reates enough pages in the target layout to
accommodate the records in the XML.
XML
paginate
This parameter works only with the pdf, postscript, and qxp
render types. If you use it with any other render type, the server
returns only the first page of the paginated layout.
If you do not supply an XML string or file (for example:
http://localhost:8080/pdf/Sample.qxp?paginate),
QuarkXPress Server attempts to use the XML file that was associated
with the layout in QuarkXPress.

HTTP Error #500Invalid XML
String
Alerts
This alert displays if you supply an invalid XML string in the thexmldoc
parameter.
If the project is successfully rendered, a transaction success message is written to the
QuarkXPress Server transaction log file. The transaction entry consists of the date and time of
Logs
the request, the render type, the project name, the type of response produced by the server,
the size of the response returned in bytes, and the client IP address. The following is a sample
of a transaction entry:
8/5/2005 18:11:54 sample.qxp Type: image/jpeg Size: 65982 Client: 127.0.0.1
If an alert displays, an error message is written to the QuarkXPress Server error log file. For
example:
8/9/2005 12:38:42 Error Error Code: 10396 Invalid XML String.
When QuarkXPress Server is running on Windows, use a URL like the
following:
http://localhost:8080/Sample.qxp?thexmldoc=<?xml
version="1.0"?>
Example, GET
URL
<BookReview><Book><Title>C:\Autumn.jpg</Title>
<Author> Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie</Author>
</Book></BookReview>
When QuarkXPress Server is running on Mac OS, use a URL like the following:
http://localhost:8080/Sample.qxp?thexmldoc=<?xml version=
"1.0"?>
<BookReview><Book><Title>/Volumes/MacHD/Pictures/abc.tiff</
Title>
<Author> Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie</Author>
</Book></BookReview>
Alternatively, you can specify a path to a file containing the XML:
http://localhost:8080/Sample.qxp?paginate=
file:MacHD:Sample.xml
Request object names: XMLImportRequest
com.quark.qxpsm.QRequestContext rc = new com.quark.qxpsm.QRequestContext();
Example, object
model
if(!this.DocumentSettings1.
documentName.Text.Equals(""))
rc.documentName =
this.DocumentSettings1.documentName.Text;
// STEP 2 (SPECIFIC TO REQUESTS): Create the XML Import request
XMLImportRequest xmlimportreq = new XMLImportRequest();
xmlimportreq.XMLDocument = this.thexmldoc.Text;
