How to read the attribute in mapping..

Question

Hi,
My source XML looks like this
<GLDEBITACCT>
            <VALUE>0545-K-2006605-5500001</VALUE>
            <GLCOMP glorder="0">0545</GLCOMP>
            <GLCOMP glorder="1">K</GLCOMP>
            <GLCOMP glorder="2">2006605</GLCOMP>
            <GLCOMP glorder="3">5500001</GLCOMP>
  </GLDEBITACCT>
Where glorder is the attribute of GLCOMP. Now I have requirement to read the attribute ( atleast 2 of them)
I have to map to target field checking the value in glorder="1
For e.g. with above XML, if the value in glorder="1 is K than map value from glorder="2 (2006605) to Target 1.
IF the glorder="1 is P map the value in glorder="2 to Target 2 and goes on for another one
How can i acheive this mapping. When I tried putting the value of glorder, i am not getting anything.

Hi,
You can use below UDF. Please make sure to select context parameter while creating UDF. There will be 3 input arguments for this function:
1. GLCOMP (a)
2 @glorder   (b)
3 Constant   (c)  --depending upon the target node
Also conext of attribute @glorder should be same as that of GLCOMP.
//write your code here
for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++)
    if(b<i>.equals("1")&&c[0].equals(a<i>))
    for(int j=0;j<a.length;j++)
          if(b[j].equals("2"))
     result.addValue(a[j].toString());
                        break;
For target node target1 use K as 3rd argument, for target node target2 use P and so on.
Let me know how it works.
