Thanks for the sample. As for querying sub elements, if I understand
you correctly, you are saying that sub elements are treated no
differently than their parent elements. In other words, Google Base's
query engine sees all elements as one big flat index. You have to
wonder then what the purpose is of having sub elements if you can't
query for them. In a practical application, I can imagine that there
would be times that you would want to query for a parent who has a sub
element of some type containing some value. It appears that sub
elements are only there for visual purposes. While it's true that I
can read back the pure xml and write my own API to parse through the
parent/child elements, that will probably result in getting a lot of
unnecessary data back from Google Server in order to locate a sub
element. It would be nice if the query engine allowed for a search for
a sub element based upon a parent element and any some attribute type
and value of the sub element.
