We have defined a xml dcc and tied configured the realm to use it.

The log files will be uploaded shortly.

Solution:

Deb,

Engineering has said that according to the XML spec, the XML declaration is part of the prolog, which must be the first element in the XML document ( see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/). I was getting an error because it was not. See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/ for this info.

Regards,
SandyCustomer was able to get this to work by using the following XPath query:

User:
substring-before(substring-after(//*[local-name()='sayHello' and namespace-uri()='http://www.bea.com/examples/Trader']/text(),'&ltusername>'),'</username>')

Password:
substring-before(substring-after(//*[local-name()='sayHello' and namespace-uri()='http://www.bea.com/examples/Trader']/text(),'&ltpassword>'),'</password>')

Environment
