XPointer

[Leandro Quiroga <le...@gmail.com>]

Hi, I'm trying to include the xml inside the tags <att> </att>
(without the tags <att> </att>) into another xml.
How can I do this using the xpointer attribute of the xinclude tag?

<att>
   <xxx/>
   <xxx/>
   <xxx/>
   <xxx/>
   <xxx/>
   <xxx/>
   <xxx/>
   <xxx/>
</att>

I'm using Apache Xerces for parsing the xml.

Thanks

Leandro

Hi Leandro,

The XPointer support [1] in Xerces is currently limited to the XPointer
Framework and XPointer element() schemes. It is possible to do what you
want but it's a bit ugly. You would need N include elements, where N is the
number of <xxx/> elements in your document:

<xi:include href="doc.xml" xpointer="element(/1/1)"/>
<xi:include href="doc.xml" xpointer="element(/1/2)"/>
<xi:include href="doc.xml" xpointer="element(/1/3)"/>
<xi:include href="doc.xml" xpointer="element(/1/4)"/>

etc...

Thanks.
