Multivalued properties on document objects

Question

Hello all.. I am wondering.. Are there any possibility at all to have multivalued
properties on a document object.. When i have these two lines in my document :
<meta name="subscription" content="11.3000">
<meta name="subscription" content="11.2000">
it is only the last one that are indexed by the bulkloader.
My user object has only one of these values, so a line like this :
Content.subscription == User.subscription should in this case evaluate true if
the user has subscrtion == "11.3000" or "11.2000" and then of course show the
document..
If there are anyone out there who has done this,, i would be grateful for a solution..
Except for the "11.2000,11.3000" like "*11.2000*" workaround i have seen earlier
on this newsgroup.. We use WLPS 3.5

Hi Kaare,
You are allows to have multi-valued metatags. For example, you could have <META NAME="profile" CONTENT="4,5,6">. You can use the <cm:select> tag in your JSPs to retrieve content. You would search using wildcards for one of the values, then iterate through the results and print them. Here's a quick example:
<% String queryString = "CONTENT.profile like '*5*'"; %>
<cm:select contentHome="<%= ContentHelper.DEF_CONTENT_MANAGER_HOME %>"
query="<%= queryString %>" id="docList"/>
<es:forEachInArray id="bDoc" array="<%= docList %>" type="com.beasys.commerce.axiom.content.Content">
<li>The matched document target is: <cm:printProperty id="bDoc" name="profile" encode="html" />
</es:forEachInArray>
You would just have to be very careful of your values. For example, if you had CONTENT="4, 5, 45, 57", a query for '*5*' would return 5, 45, and 57.
An alternative would be to use multiple metatags - for example, "profile_4" = yes/no, "profile_5" = yes/no, "profile_6" = yes/no, etc. The best solution really depends on your individual application.
I hope this helps...
