hi jeremy there are various ways to do this in betwixt. betwixt support the xml concept of ID and IDREF attributes. betwixt should be able to find and match up instances. the only limitation is that the actual definition needs to come before the reference. (it should be pretty easy to add support for the other possibility, though if that's a requirement.)
there information about how to do this contained in the documentation on the website. - robert On Mon, 2005-03-21 at 14:36 -0800, Jeremy Denton wrote: > Anyone come up with a good relational mapping structure?
