RE: Re: "FLAT" XML to Hierarchical XML

I don't see a customer id element or attribute in the sample source XML you provided. How will you uniquely identify each customer?

I don't see the hierarchy in the output you say you want. All the customers are in one element, all the orders are in a sibling element, and all the order details go into a third sibling. Is this really the format you want? When you said you wanted to make the format hierarchical, I imagined that you wanted to group all the items by order and all the orders by customer, something like this:

<customer>
 <orders>
   <order>
     <line-item></line-item>
   </order>
 </orders>
</customer>
