Defining Type With A Non-Primitive (Custom Struct) Member In XML

Hello,

I am recently working with RTI Connext DDS Connector in NodeJS and NodeRed. This has introduced me to XML application configuration and I have now come across the need to define a type which features, as a member, another struct.

In IDL, this has been no problem in the past. Now I am trying to do the same in XML but am encountering errors at run-time:

 

DDS_TypeCodeFactory_clone_tc_no_mem:ERROR: Bad parameter: tc_in
DDS_TypeCodeFactory_clone_tc:!clone typecode (0x7fffffeb)
DDS_TypeCode_add_member_ex:!cloning member type code
DDS_XMLTypeCode_process_member:Parse error at line 123: error adding member to type

 

DDS_XMLStruct_on_start_tag:error processing struct member
RTIXMLParser_parseFromFile:Parse error in file 'USER_QOS_PROFILES.xml'
DDS_XMLParser_parse_from_file:Error parsing file
DDS_QosProvider_load_profiles_from_current_dirI:ERROR: loading profiles file 'USER_QOS_PROFILES.xml'

DDS_DomainParticipantFactory_create_participant_from_config_w_paramsI:ERROR: loading profiles
DDSDomainParticipantFactory::create_participant_from_config:!create DomainParticipant from configuration "MyParticipantLibrary::MyPubParticipant"
create_participant_from_config error

And the XML:

 

<struct name="ihub_s" extensibility="extensible">
<member name="dm" type="string" stringMaxLength="16" />
</struct>

<struct name="local_s" extensibility="extensible" >
<member name="msg" type="string" stringMaxLength="32" />
<member name="source" type="string" stringMaxLength="32" />
</struct>

<struct name="meta_s" extensibility="extensible">
<member name="locals" type="local_s" /> <!-- This is line 123 which fails -->
<member name="ihub" type="ihub_s" />
</struct>

<struct name="xbw_ihub_t" extensibility="extensible">
<member name="ddsMsgId" type="long" />
<member name="value" type="long" />
<member name="type" type="string" stringMaxLength="8" />
<member name="meta" type="meta_s" />
</struct>

And, for clarification, the IDL:

 

module data{

struct ihub_s{
string dm;
};

struct local_s{
string msg;
string source;
};

struct meta_s{
local_s locals;
ihub_s ihub;
};

struct xbw_ihub_t{
long ddsMsgId;//@key
long value;
string type;
meta_s meta;
};
};

 

Is there something I have missed, or are nested types like this not supported in XML configuration?

Thank you very much in advance,

Any and all help much appreciated.

Edit: IDL and XML snippets have been updated. The IDL compiles as expected.

The name "local" in the struct "meta_s" was likely to have thrown problems, so has now been altered, but the application still fails at line 123 of the xml.
