Attribute Mapping Issue - Pls help

Question

Hi am a newbie......in XML-Java related issue.
Am trying to map an XML with Java objects.
Take this XML for example:
<test>
<root type="star">
<player>
<name>Thierry Henry</name>
<rating>10</rating>
</player>
<player>
<name>Rooney</name>
<rating>0</rating>
</player>
</root>
<root type="medium">
<player>
<name>nistelrooy</name>
<rating>-1</rating>
</player>
<player>
<name>xyz</name>
<rating>0</rating>
</player>
</root>
</test>
My question is, how do i refer to the attribute "type" in the <Root> element in my corresponding class to be mapped with this xml......kindly help me writing the mapping xml for this also.

Oops, just realised this is the SES forum and not the Oracle Text forum ... ignore my last post!
The answer to this depends on whether you're using the table crawler or the database crawler, and what the datatypes are for job_name and vacancy_name.
If we assume they're VARCHAR2 it's quite straightforward...
If using the TABLE crawler, then recreate your join so that instead of two columns job_name and vacancy_name, you concatenate the two together in the join into a column called (for example) CONTENT, and use that as the text column to index.
If using the DATABASE crawler, then simply concat these columns as part of your SELECT into the column named CONTENT.
