Column mapping like "/city[1]/@name" has already supported. The support to filter is however still limited.We need to support xpath expression that contains row filters such as "/city[@iscapital='y']/@name". It is not easy to allow filter like "/city[@iscapital='y']/@name" in current xml driver. We only support tailing filter now, say, "/city[@iscapital='y']". Consider to defer this bug to 2.2.0. Support for parent element predicts is available for use |
My XML Data has the following structure: <root> <country name="China"> ... <city name="Shanghai" iscapital="n" /> <city name="Beijing" iscapital="y" /> </country> ... </root> The row mapping is defined to be "/country" (selecting all country elements). I'd like to be able to define the following two column mappings: /city[1]/@name (Name of first city in the country) /city[@iscapital='y']/@name (Name of capital city) However current XML column mapping wizard does not accept either mapping as valid. These mappings should be supported since they are quite common.
