How can I convert a gml attribute in xml read with feature paths to geometry

I have an xml with feature bag_LVC:Pand with this structure (example):

<bag_LVC:Pand>

<bag_LVC:identificatie>0003100000117485</bag_LVC:identificatie>

<bag_LVC:aanduidingRecordInactief>N</bag_LVC:aanduidingRecordInactief>

<bag_LVC:aanduidingRecordCorrectie>0</bag_LVC:aanduidingRecordCorrectie>

<bag_LVC:officieel>N</bag_LVC:officieel>

<bag_LVC:pandGeometrie>

<gml:Polygon srsName="urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::28992">

<gml:exterior>

<gml:LinearRing>

</bag_LVC:bron>

</bag_LVC:Pand>

a regular XML reader can't read it. So I try feature paths to read this feature. It does contain gml-geometry. How can I get the bag_LVC:pandgeometrie as the geometry of my feature so I can write it to a shape-file?

Take this part as one attribute:

<gml:Polygon srsName="urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::28992">

<gml:exterior>

<gml:LinearRing>

</gml:LinearRing>

</gml:exterior>

</gml:Polygon>

And use that attribute in the GeometryReplacer.

That will create the geometry for you.

I believe that the regular XML reader can read the document with the "Feature Paths" configuration (Elements to Match: Pand). Then, since the "Pand" element contains a GML representation as its descendant element, you can use the GeometryReplacer to create a geometry from the XML fragment (Geometry Encoding: GML, Geometry Source: xml_fragment).

Take this part as one attribute:

<gml:Polygon srsName="urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::28992">

<gml:exterior>

<gml:LinearRing>

</gml:LinearRing>

</gml:exterior>

</gml:Polygon>

And use that attribute in the GeometryReplacer.

That will create the geometry for you.

Yes, but how do I tell the reader to pass this on as a xml_fragment and not to flatten it? I googled around but did not find the answer. Now I use a concatenator to add the tags again around the poslist, so the GeometryReplacer can interpret it. It works but I want a simpler way.

If you read the XML document with the XML reader (Configuration Type: Feature Paths, Elements to Match: Pand), the reader feature type adds an attribute called "xml_fragment" which stores an XML fragment of the Pand element. You don't need to consider any special setting. Then, just set the "xml_fragment" to the "Geometry Source" parameter of the GeometryReplacer.

You can exclude the geometry part in the flatten options settings (in your case gml:Polygon) and it will become an attribute containing this fragment. Or as mentioned above, you can use the xml_fragment that includes the geometry in the GeometryReplacer.
