Subject:Mapper is duplicating element names in templates Author:P Hoeve Date:01 Sep 2004 03:33 PM
The mapping is simple. We are mapping one XML doc to another. They are
both schema defined. The only diff between the source and destination
schema's is the root tag name. That's all.
When I create and use a template (either named or matched),
the mapper DUPLICATES the tag names for the output doc.
In the example below, not that the code has the output elements 'eaiProcessSalesLead',
'ApplicationArea', etc duplicated from the root template to the
a:ApplicationArea template.
I must believe this is something I'm doing, but need help figuring out
what. Thanks. P.

<sound of jaw dropping> Thanks very much for the reply. To say I'm shocked is an understatement. </sound of jaw dropping>
Even the old mapper, with some of it's quirks and pitfalls didn't do something this flagrent.
Is there a timeframe for the release that will have this correction? We just purchased licenses for my entire team and now it doesn't look like we can use it affectively.
Working with what we have, is there a method for doing this type of 1-to-1 mapping that will
maintain efficiency of processing. Being that these are used for transactions through and EAI
solution, it is important they are as efficient as possible. Should I just not use the templates?

P Hoeve,
We understand your pain, eating without jaw must be a hell :)
We agreed to implement this feature in the next update, which should be available in a week.
In the mean while you can still build your mapping without use templates.
Performance should not be affected, but if the mapping gets very complicated (many links) it could became difficult to read.

That is too late for this project, but not for the next. I look forward to getting the fix.
If you are looking for alpha or beta testers, I would consider it. I have found numerouse other
things but will wait for the next patch to express them.
