Here is a strech.
Suppose I have a message set with 50 messages in it. All different but containing some sort of combination of fields from an extract from a DB.
Is there a way to query the output message format dynamically to find out if a field exist and then map it with the input data. You can assume the the input message will have a field name identical to the output message field. I could probably handle not knowing which messages are in the message set. (it would be nice to dynamically figure this out tooooo). But I would like to know which fields I need to map to the output Message without hard coding. I accept all answers. This will be worth 10 points on your reportcard and an all expense paid ticket for one to Taco Bell!!
We are trying to build a generic data distribution methodology and would like to query a DB for data and send the formats that the receipents need. There will be instances where some of the receipents are not allowed to see certain data so there is a need to eliminate it from the output for that receipent. Otherwise I could send the WHOLE database record. Things are never easy. We are trying to get away with NOT doing seperate MAPPING nodes for each message.
