Package net.windward.datasource.dom4j Description

This supplies an xml data source to Windward Reports. This is the reference implementation for the net.windward.datasource package. This package uses dom4j to perform the real work including all selection of nodes using xpath.

To reference a data element from a <wr:forEach ... var="item" > or <wr:query ... var="item" > tag inside another tag, use the following construct: ${item.name} where name is an xpath reference from the node defined by item and the reference will return a single element.

A really good book on XPath is XPath and XPointer from O'Reilly.
