I am given the following XML document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Line>
<Segments>
<Segment>
<LineGeometry srid="4326">x_1,y_1;x_2,y_2;...</LineGeometry>
<SegmentProperties>
...
</SegmentProperties>
</Segment>
<Segment>
<LineGeometry srid="4326">x_1,y_1;x_2,y_2;...</LineGeometry>
<SegmentProperties>
...
</SegmentProperties>
</Segment>
...
</Segments>
</Line>where each Segment should eventually create an object in Smallworld. The number of segments can be arbitrarily large (the number of SegmentProperties is fixed per segment).
As I need to not only process the LineGeometry, but also the SegmentProperties, I was wondering what the best design for this case is. An idea I had was the following:
- Write the transformation for one element, declare that a custom transformer and iterate over all elements via a loop
Or is there a better way? I have never yet tried to implement something like that, so I wonder if that's the right way. Could PythonCaller be a better idea?
And is there a way to tell StringReplacer to iterate over all elements? If I want to manipulate all LineGeometry-strings, I need to select elements from 0 to X. Can I insert "ALL" somehow?
