I thought 1.3 supported dynamic fields in schema.xml?

Oops, one more gotcha. The dynamic field support is only in 1.4 trunk.

I have setup my DIH to treat these as entities as below

<dataConfig>
<dataSource type="FileDataSource" encoding="UTF-8" />
<document>
  <entity name ="f" processor="FileListEntityProcessor"
          baseDir="***"
          fileName=".*xml"
          rootEntity="false"
          dataSource="null" >
     <entity
        name="record"
        processor="XPathEntityProcessor"
        stream="false"
        forEach="/record"
        url="${f.fileAbsolutePath}">
             <field column="ID" xpath="/record/@id" />

             <!-- Address  -->
              <entity
                  name="record_adr"
                  processor="XPathEntityProcessor"
                  stream="false"
                  forEach="/record/address"
                  url="${f.fileAbsolutePath}">
                      <field column="address_street"
xpath="/record/address/@street" />
                      <field column="address_state"
xpath="/record/address//@state" />
                      <field column="address_type"
xpath="/record/address//@type" />
             </entity>
        </entity>
  </entity>
</document>
</dataConfig>


I think the only way is to create a dynamic field for each attribute
(street, state etc.). Write a transformer to copy the fields from your data config to appropriately named dynamic field (e.g. street_1, state_1, etc).
To maintain this counter you will need to get/store it with
Context#getSessionAttribute(name, val, Context.SCOPE_DOC) and
Context#setSessionAttribute(name, val, Context.SCOPE_DOC).

I cant't think of an easier way.
