Hi mike,
thanks for your mail!
and excuse me for the delay in my response.
your explanation is very complete, but i have other 2 question for you:
1.
if i use your third solution and i have 3 name, i have this xml:
<person>
<name order="1">Aname</name>
<name order="2">Bname</name>
<name order="3">Cname</name>
</person>
how can i get a specific name, for example the second name('Bname')?
In your example you write:
To get order: /person/name/@order
To get name: /person/name
but this not find a specific name.
But i have some problem in xsl-fo because i have 3 separate field in my pdf
output, where i put the first, the second and the third name.
2.
with betwixt how can i write the attribute order in an element: for example
<name order="1">
thanks and ciao
Stefano

Here are 3 ways you could form the XML (also potential xpath syntax -
don't
quote me on the attribute lookup w/ @ symbol - it's been a while and you
may
just write [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of adding the slash
element/@attribute?
- it should get you close):
<person order="1">
<name>Aname</name>
</person>
To get order: /person/@order
To get name: /person/name
...
<person>
<name>Aname</name>
<order>1</order>
</person>
To get order: /person/order
To get name: /person/name
...
<person>
<name order="1">Aname</name>
</person>
To get order: /person/name/@order
To get name: /person/name
------
I think it's purely preference on how you design your XML as long as it's
well-formed. You'll have to read between the lines when people give you
examples as there will be typos but you can understand what they meant...
If my syntax above is incorrect, at least you can see what I was trying to
do and make the syntax correct... :)
Hope this helps!

<order>1</name> was just a typo and not well-formed XML... The point he
was
trying to make is to have some other element with your numbering or you
could also have an attribute with the name tag:
<person>
<name order="1">Aname</name>
</person>
<person>
<name order="2">Bname</name>
</person>
...
Cheers,

Thank Fabian
i don't understand the tag: <order>1</name>
start with order and finish with name? Which type of variable have this
characteristic in java?
This type of indentation don't resolva my problem with xsl-fo where i
select
a single field with: person/name
If you have some response write me!
Ciao

i think that's to hard to make
test if you can
<person>
<name>Aname</name>
<order>1</name>
</person>
<person>
<name>Anothername</name>
<order>2</name>
</person>
that's most easy to do and most easy to map and understand.

Hi to all!
I've a problem.
I transform a bean to an xml file, and after i process this xml file
with
fop.
I've an array (or a collection) but when i create (via betwixt) the
xml
file
i find all the tags for the array value without numeration:
example
......
<name>Francesca</name>
<name>Stefano</name>
<name>Massimo</name>
......
but for a lot of reasons i want numbered tags:
example
......
<name1>Francesca</name1>
<name2>Stefano</name2>
<name2>Massimo</name2>
......
is there a solution?
Thanks
Ciao
Stefano
