What is the best way to produce master XML file

It is possible to use any of the xform functions to produce one single XML file out of the all submitted form runner data. Somewhere in this form there is mention to use the aggregate() function or XLST.

My goal is to produce a master xml file that I can use it to generate a csv file. I am thinking of doing the following:

1- Retrieve the form-type data.xml for all submitted forms data.
2- Run aggregate() to produce the xml master file and store in the filing system.
3- Run some kind of XSLT to produce the csv file.

Any advise or start up sample code or pointers is very helpful !!.

Thanks,
Majeed Almadan

Thanks, subrahmanyam,

Another newbie question. To retrieve all of the data.xml out of the eXist DB, is the easiest and quickest way is to use the xQuery and merge them into one xml save it and then apply your logic or create a javabean and initiate another processor?

Any advise please.

Thanks,

Majeed

Re: Re: What is the best way to produce master XML file

Hi Majeed,
I am using java processor itself to generate to create final xml for csv.
However you can try both approaches and finalize whichever is gives more performance and maintaintenace .

Thanks,
Majeed
