Incrementing Values to be mapped in a field

Question

Hi All,
I have a requirement to map incremental values to a field in a Record based on repeations of the Record.
For Example:
Suppose I have a structure as below
Employee
            - S.No
            - Name
            - ID
So here the S.No should be a incremental based on number of repeations of employee record which is in turn dependent on the source structure.
Output put should be like
<Employee>
          <S.No> 1</S.No>
          <Name>Kiran</Name>
          <ID>1234</ID>
</Employee>
<Employee>
          <S.No> 2</S.No>
          <Name>Ram</Name>
          <ID>1234</ID>
</Employee>
<Employee>
          <S.No>32</S.No>
          <Name>Alex</Name>
          <ID>1234</ID>
</Employee>
Please give me some suggestions

Answer 1

Hi,
      Create one UDF for Sequence number generation and assign SNo to that UDF and output of that UDF to target SNO field.It will work.
int inc=1;
Integer seqno=(Integer) container.getParameter("seqno");
if(seqno==null)
seqno = new Integer(1);
else
int number=seqno.intValue()+inc;
seqno=new Integer(number);
container.setParameter("seqno",seqno);
return seqno.toString();
