I actually stuck with a problem while parsing xml-file from a dynamic url in Objective-C. The Parser works fine for the whole project, but now I have to set a dynamic URL to parse the needed XML-File.
I have two Variables: One for the BaseURL and one for the Params. Here is my documented Code:
//The Baseurl
NSMutableString* baselink = [NSMutableString stringWithString:zimmertyp.typlink];
//Adds the params to URL
[baselink appendString:aSlice.link];
//In Log it shows the right url to my XML-File with params
NSLog(@"Selected-URL: %@", url);
//I tried to convert the String to NSURL here
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString: baselink];
NSXMLParser *xmlParser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url];
self.navigationItem.prompt = @" ";
//Initialize the delegate.
XMLParser *parser = [[XMLParser alloc] initXMLParser];
//Set delegate
[xmlParser setDelegate:parser];
//Start parsing the XML file.
BOOL success = [xmlParser parse];
if(success)
NSLog(@"No Errors");
else
NSLog(@"Error Error Error!!!");
Everytime the Parser tries to walk through, I get:
2011-02-16 16:40:03.371 Project[15566:207] Selected-URL: http://xml.projectwebsite.de/price/doppelzimmer.xml
?Zimmertyp=Doppelzimmer+Classic
2011-02-16 16:40:03.373 Project[15566:207] Error Error Error!!!
2011-02-16 16:40:03.374 Project[15566:207] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[NSCFString stringByAppendingString:]: nil argument'
It seems like the NSUrl is empty, or am I wrong? The App crashes right at the point when the Parser initialized with the url.
Can anyone tell me what's my fault?

I solved the problem by myself. The AppendString method added whitespaces to the String... dunno why. I escaped the spaces from the string. Now parser works fine.. ;)
