install4j: Read XML from HTTP Request

I need to read a xml string from a HTTP request before. I already safe the complete xml string to an installer variable, but it seems that I can only use the "Read value from XML file" with files, and not with variables.

Is there a way?

Greetings, Michael

You would have to save the installer variable to a temporary file first.

Add a "Write text to a file" action after the "HTTP request" action and set its "Text" property to ${installer:variableName} where variableName is the name of the variable that contains the XML document. The "File" property can be set to ${installer:sys.workingDir}/request.xml.

The working directory is a temporary directory, so that file will be deleted when the installer exits.

In your "Read value from XML file" action you can then set the "XML file" property to ${installer:sys.workingDir}/request.xml.
