The current approach parsing from XML uses the QIODevice to abstract from where the data comes from physically (file, remote, etc.).
However, when parsing bigger documents from a remote QT emits several signals (e.g. readyRead()) to indicate when new data arrives. A reader would have to add that new data then so the XML can be processed further.
Proposed Solution:
Introduce an event loop which waits when QXmlStreamReader::PrematureEndOfDocumentError occurs and resumes data parsing once new data becomes available. Handle it via QT signals and slots seems to be the most elegant solution.
Note: This issue has been moved from IlwisConnectors as the associated files (
xmlstreamparser) has been moved to the core.The current approach parsing from XML uses the
