iphone XMLReader SOAP-Response parsing

Question

I have problems regarding the output of the XMLReader , which should be able to parse any SOAP-Result into an NSDictionary.

When I go through the results I get the following:

Key: soapEnvelope, Value: {the rest of the xml-file to the end, with all tags, but it seems to be a long string}

What am I doing wrong here since I expected to get a NSDictionary with all of my XML-Tags as a key?

Edit: Since I´m working and trying to understand this since days, I may be totally in the wrong direction, so if possible... here´s my XML:

 <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soap:Body>
    <GetData2Response xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
        <GetData2Result>
            <NoOfObjectsDetected>1</NoOfObjectsDetected>
            <RectanglesForPicture>
                <Rectangle>
                    <Location>
                        <X>90</X>
                        <Y>14</Y>
                    </Location>
                    <Size>
                        <Width>352</Width>
                        <Height>352</Height>
                    </Size>
                    <X>90</X>
                    <Y>14</Y>
                    <Width>352</Width>
                    <Height>352</Height>
                </Rectangle>
            </RectanglesForPicture>
            <ReturnMessage>Juhu!</ReturnMessage>
        </GetData2Result>
    </GetData2Response>
</soap:Body>

When I want to have Lets say NoOfObjectsDetected in an int - what exactly do I have to do? (It´s stupid, I know... but I´m lost atm... thx)

[self.elementsValues setObject:self.currentElementValue forKey:elementName];

Here elementsValues is type of NSMutableDictionary. currentElementsValue is the value of current tag. And elementName is current tag. Free to ask questions if this is not clear

First you need to read tutorial about xml parsing.http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2005448/how-to-use-nsxmlparser-to-parse-parent-child-elements-that-have-the-same-name – Harsh Jul 29 '11 at 12:38

are u parsing with the help of NSXMLParser?? here is the method. create an mutable array to store the contents of xml. in the delegate methods do the following:

nsmutablearray noOfObjetcsArray; nsstring elementNameStr;

-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)atributeDict

{

if ([elementName isEqualToString:@"NoOfObjectsDetected"])

{

noOfObjetcsArray =[nsmutablearray alloc] initwithcapacity:0];

elementNameStr = elementName;

}

-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string

{

if ([elementNameStr isEqualToString:@"NoOfObjectsDetected"])

{

 [noOfObjetcsArray addObject:string];

}

when parsing is complete u will get the contents in the array. since u want it as an int value, wherever u use this value jus give:

[[noOfObjetcsArray objectAtIndex:0] intValue]

this will convert string to int value. thats the way u can get teh value. try it.

all the best :)
