Column Mapping for XML-Source with Attributes

azique

Hello,

I want to create a DataSet for documents. Those documents have items with an @name-attribute and values.

<document name='mydocument1'>
<item name='abc'>abc-value1</item>
<item name='def'>def-value1</item>
<item name='dontneedthis'>fklfdslf</item>
</document>

In my table I want to map certain items by name so it will look like the following:

Doc............|Abc...........| Def..........

---

mydocument1|abc-value1 | def-value1
mydocument2|abc-value2 | def-value2
mydocument3|abc-value3 | def-value3

---

To achieve this I tried to enter the following into the Column Mapping XPath field:
/item[@name='abc']

But when I try the Table Preview the result remains empty.

The value for /document/@name is shown correctly.

I am using Birt RCP Designer 2.1.3.

I would be happy about every comment and help!

Thank you,
Johannes

I tried it with a standard xsl-processor and it works
<xsl:value-of select="item[@name='abc']" />

I mapped the table to /document and the document name to /@name which I haven't point out in the previous post.
