Embed XML in another XML

[pillip]

i want to embed one xml into another.
I have been successful in creating the first xml by using '/' in the XML output stage. I put this in the sequential file and the xml got created fine. Now I want to embed this xml in start and end tags.
I used another xml output stage, but was unable to get the output fine. Kindly let me know what xpath expression i need to use to get the required output.

I have checked the best pratices document but could not find the solution for this. Please help

Thanks.

You could do your "embedding" manually in a transformer, if literally all you need are "start and end tags".

No....look more closely, especially at the section that talks about building XML documents with multiple nodes...the whole technique is based on this premise....you build a chunk then include it later in a final XMLOutput Stage....the chunk gets the XML data element and the xpath positions it....it's in there.

in my copy of the document, it's on page 38.....the "text()" is placed after the high level "container" element of the repeating unit after performing the lookup to get the chunk....

You should have data element of XML to prevent further escaping to occur on your recently built chunk.

i have used the transformer after the first xml and concatenated start and end tags. But the output is getting truncated.

Can you advise on how to use another XML output stage.

The output of the first xml is an XML dataelement. Now I need to append start and end tags to it.

What Xpath expressions do I need to use for this in the second XML output stage.

Thanks.

Find the full zip file for XML best practices. Do the exercises. Spend time with them. You will learn how it is done. I've pointed you to the section and the page number where this is illustrated. There isn't much more I can suggest.
