however my select=".." for pulling the values is
pulling null values. What am I missing?
select="/doc/plans/plan/descriptor[descriptor/@descriptor_name =
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
that will select discriptor elements which have a descriptor child which
has a descriptor_name attribute
I suspect your descriptor elements are not nested and you meant
select="/doc/plans/plan/descriptor[(_at_)descriptor_name =
Incidentally once you get it working, you can probably optimise it using
keys. Optimising the idiom
/some/where/in/the/doc/element[(_at_)attribute='something']
is exactly what keys are there to optimise. But get ot working firts,
speed it up later.
