Yeah - me too :) Well with enough XQuery knowledge, it would be about a one liner :). I confess I'm no XQuery ninja either. Something vaguely like... for $x in distinct-values(//colour/@id) return //cat[colour/@id = $x] Though warning I've never done much with XQuery so the above could be total garbage :) > But I now managed to do it with a custom expression: [snip] Yeah - its nice that folks can always drop down to good old Java code and solve problems that way; then over time hopefully we'll be able to solve these kinds of issues in more elegant ways. -- James ------- http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ Open Source SOA http://open.iona.com
