I needed to send orders in XML format over webservice calls and I soon realized that although there were some resources on how you can do that with JSON text structures, there weren’t many containing XML structures. 

Let’s have a look how I achieved this in a few simple steps below: 

In my context I am logging the XML message that I am sending into a Blob field of an integration log table. 

Step1 – I created the relevant fields here: 

Step 2 – I also created a very simple XMLPort, feel free to create one suitable to your needs. 

Step 3 – Now what we need is to have two functions that would: 

3.1 Stream the contents of a message into our blob field, which is exactly what the function below does 

3.2 Stream the contents of our blob field into a text variable, exemplified in the ReadXML2Text procedure below 

Step4 – Sending the XML message to our destination with Http Post. 

          We then send the xml text variable to a codeunit were we are using the HTTPContent.writefrom function
