Jay DreyerSubject: Tough mapping question...
Author: Jay Dreyer

Hi all,
I like the tool a lot, so far. If I can find an answer to this problem, I'll love it!
I'll try to make this simple. I'm trying to map one xml file to another.
The first one contains the results of a html form submission.
The second one is how the data is expected to appear.
The mapping is simple up to this point:
I have a couple different sets of repeating data like:
phoneArea0
phoneNumber0

phoneArea1
phoneNumber1
etc.
Each of these "groups" need to become its own section in the mapped-to xml file:
  phone

    phoneArea

    phoneNumber

  /phone
(repeat for each group)
The number of groups could be 0,1 or more.

Is there any possible way to do this or am I crazy??? I haven't figured it out from the tool yet.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

if it is doable in mapper depends on the nature of your source xml file. since you mentioned you have a couple of diffrent set of repeating {phoneArea} and {phoneNuber}, I assume you have a limited {phoneArea} in your source, say the maximum is {phoneArea10}. in this case, you simplely need to right click on {phone} node in destination and duplicate 10 times, you will have 10 more repeating {phone} element in destination tree. then you just need to map the left to right one by one, you are all set.

if the number of {phoneArea} is undefinite which require you to write a generic algorithm to handle every pair of and {phoneNumber}, then mapper can't do that, you have to write xslt code for it.

hope this help.

Hmmmm...I was afraid of that. I've got an undefined number of phone groups. Could be 0, could be....?
Any idea where I can find some sample xslt code to get me started? Haven't had much luck finding it yet, although I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking for!

Thanks for your help...

Yes. They always follow each other. There are actually 5 items in the group but all of the 1's are together, followed by the 2's, etc.

phonetype0
phonearea0
phonenum0
phoneext0
phonenote0

phonetype1
phonearea1
phonenum1
phoneext1
phonenote1

etc.

Thanks,
