xfmap help

hi all,

 

 

I need to use the XMLFeatureMapper in a script, and I want to exclude nodes that contain a specific selfclosed tag.

 

 

if the xmls is

 

<feature>

 

<ID>1</ID>

 

</feature>

 

<feature>

 

<ID>2</ID>

 

<at1 name="a"/>

 

</feature>

 

<feature>

 

<ID>3</ID>

 

</feature>

 

 

I want to read in only feature 1 and 3, excluding all features with tag <at1 />.

 

 

I'm really not familiar with xfmap, but managed to get the following to read in all features:

 

 

<xfMap> <feature-map> <mapping match=feature">     <feature-type> <literal expr="feature"/> </feature-type>              <attributes> <attribute>                     <name>  <literal expr="ID"/> </name> <value> <extract expr="./ID"/>  </value> </attribute> <attribute>                     <name>  <literal expr="attribute1"/> </name> <value> <extract expr="./at1[@name]"/>  </value> </attribute> </attributes> </mapping> </feature-map>    </xfMap>

 

But i really want something to exclude the feature if it contains the tag, something like <mapping match="feature" except ="feature.at1"> but that is not the right syntax.

 

 

help?
