JsontoXml out of box service.

Currently JsonToXml service converts a Json data file to respective xml format and stores the xml file in Filesystem under <Install-dir>/bin/output.xml.

Parallelly it creates a tag called <output></output> with the xml data inside the ProcessData. But this ProcessData is not a well formed Xml data and we cannot write any Xpath's queries based on the generated xml data to define any business/functional logic by using the same.

Also there is a challenge of reading the xml output file from the default FS system when we have multiple/concurrent JsonToXml service being invoked in the business process. There is a high chance of loosing the correct output xml file for corresponding session.

For example: If we invoke 3 concurrent jsontoXMl service then it will create 3 different output.xml file for three sessions but in the default location it will be overridden on the same output.xml file and will have the data of the last session, resulting in the loss of data for the first 2 invoke jsontoxml sessions.

In case of FSA Adapter we do have tag based details of output files in ProcessData like FSA-Document-1, FSA-Document-2 etc, It would be great to have similar kind of tag based output files in case of JsontoXml transformation service.

    We can also consider developing JSON format in Map Editor
