Hi David
This is fixed now, and in CVS. The AttributeLists now appear as single
attribute in XML and this applies to the query sent back to martservice as well. Furthermore, the reason attributelists are not exposed as individual
attributes anymore is that order of attributes in an attributeList is
strict for formatters and processing.

Should you need further help, please do write.

Hi Syed,

Thanks for getting back to me on this. I'd just like to clarify a couple
of things.

 - AttributeLists should now be treated the same as other attributes
when added to the query and not split into individual attributes.


yep


 - The result of the query is still the same, i.e. there will still be
several columns associated with one attributeList.


yep, if you don't specify any formatter with your query


I've noticed that this change has already gone live on biomart.org. I
assume that other biomart installations won't have implemented this
change yet. Is there any way of determining which style of query to use
for a particular 0.5 installation?


don't think there are any others using this feature, so you should be safe


a.



David.
