Hello Philip and thank you for the feedback. I am aware of this issue and will address it in a future release. Thanks again for your time and effort. Yazan

Hi

The StationXML schema says that the Network element should be a sequence of:
StartDate
EndDate
Description
TotalNumberStations
SelectedNumberStations
Station
...
Station

However, the current iris station web service currently sends back
StartDate
EndDate
Description
TotalNumberStations
Station
...
Station
SelectedNumberStations

which makes the resulting XML document invalid. This is kind of a pain
if you actually go to the trouble of validating the document before
parsing (sometimes a good idea) but also the "SelectedNumberStations"
element is kind of pointless in that the client has already parsed all
the station elements by that point and so already knows how many there
are.

At any rate, this out of order causes an error in my seisFile library
as it doesn't expect to find elements inside a Network element after
the Station elements. The result is that only one network in the file
is parsed and all further ones are ignored.

thanks,
Philip
