Hi, I'm using the XML tags of JSTL. I was wondering if someone knew how to get distinct values from nodes. For example, I have this XML doc:
<books> <book> <type>hardcover</type> <name>my cool book</name> </book> <book> <type>paperback</type> <name>book 2</name> </book> <book> <type>paperback</type> <name>book 3</name> </book> <book> <type>hardcover</type> <name>book 4</name> </book> <book> <type>pdf format</type> <name>book 5</name> </book> </books> And I want to pull out the distinct book types for the JSP page so that I only get (without duplicates): - hardcover - paperback - pdf format Any ideas what JSTL tag could do this? for-each? what would go in the select? thank you! ~ Troy Campano ~ ==========================================================================To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
