Combining occurences of different segments at same level

Question

Hi All,
I have two different segments(VOL1 & VOL2) at same level on source side.
Say first segment repeats two times and second segment repeat three times.
I need to produce a single queue having combined occurences of  these two segments which has five occurences in a single queue.
Please provide inputs how to achieve this.
Thanks,
Marz

Hi,
This is not possible without using UDF. What you can do is to use a mapping like this:
All UDF's must be of Context type, the simplified version would be:
VOL1 --> removeContext --> UDF1 --> concat: / --> UDF2 --> Target
VOL2 --> removeContext --> UDF1 -
> /
UDF1 is a UDF that concats all values of VOL1 or VOL2, while UDF2 is a UDF that splits the combined values of VOL1 and VOL2 that has undergone the transformation
For UDF1, you can use this code: input argument is a
StringBuffer e = new StringBuffer();
String b = null;
for (int i=0;i<a.length;i+){e = e.append("/"a<i>);}
b = e.toString();
b = b.substring(1,b.length());
result.addValue(b);
For UDF2, you can use this code: input argument is input
String b[] = input[0].split("/");
for (int a=0;a<b.length;a++){result.addValue(b[a]);}
Hope this helps,
