XML Result from JDBC Adapter Stored Procedure

Posted: 23 Apr 2009 04:26 AM PDT

Using the JDBC adapter to retrieve data from a database works well as long as each field contains a simple value such as a string or a number.

The challenge with this is that the XML returned by the stored procedure will be &#147;escaped&#148; and appear as a single character string in the element representing the output parameter of the stored procedure. This blog demonstrates how to recover the original un-escaped XML using a simple Java mapping.
