thread or guide that explain FULLY ther XML data source

[visert]

Hi to all

I'm new to this forum and to iReport Designer.

I buy & studied the ultimate guide to iReport, but I did not found fully how XML data source are parsed and transformed (used) into report.

I mean... only with some attempts I vaguely understood how to use complex XML data source and mapped into report with List and Grouped Report.

1) A question could be: "When I put an xPath expression into report datasource definition, how xml data are transformed and mapped into record?"... (obviously I know xPath synta, but I did not found what's up if I define more than one node ...using pipe "|" for example.

2) generally... can I define only (and exctaly one) one recordset (using xPath exp) for main report when design the report? All other data must be managed with List, crossTab and subReport?...

Thank in advance to all!

bye

best regard
