how to use xml data source

[deesel]

Hi

 

I am new to iReport..Can anyone let me know if the follwing is correct when using xml data source.

 

My xml looks like this:

<addressbook>

<category name="home">

<person id="1">

<LASTNAME>Davolio</LASTNAME>

<FIRSTNAME>Nancy</FIRSTNAME>

</person>

</category>

</addressbook>

 

I have added a field 'category' with description '/addressbook/category@name'

 

I have added the field in my .jrxml

 

When I try to compile with the ative datasource as the xml, the report is empty.

 

Please help.
