      .xmlDataSize()

      Method checks the combined lenght of child element values.

      Description of the method

      Description: xmlDataSize method checks the combined lenght of child element values. This method is for some special purposes where only the data lenght matters.
      Available for: any
      Parameters: -
      Return type: integer

      Example

      Context: HeaderType1
      OCL: self.xmlDataSize() = 24
      Description: The example rule checks the combined lenght of element values from PartyIdentification child elements.

       

      The XML snippet below would pass this check.

      <Header>
        <Id>aId</Id>
        <TimeStamp>2015-07-03T12:17:50</TimeStamp>
        <ControlSum>2</ControlSum>
        <NumberOfTransactions>1</NumberOfTransactions>
      </Header>


      The following data is taken into account when calculating the length in the above example "aId2015-07-03T12:17:5021". So elements and pretty printing is removed and only the data is left for the length calculation.
