    <p>I am trying very hard with no luck to take an XML document which is spit out by a proprietary database and transform it into a well-formed XML document which will eventually be indexed by Apache Solr.</p> <p>I would like to take this XML file and transform it into a Apache Solr format like that below it.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?&gt; &lt;ecatalogue&gt; &lt;tuple&gt; &lt;table name="CatObjectName_tab"&gt; &lt;tuple&gt; &lt;atom name="CatObjectName"&gt;Clog&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;/tuple&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;atom name="CatObjectNumber"&gt;2003-39-27A&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;atom name="CatObjectTitle"&gt;&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;table name="CatOtherNumbers_tab"&gt; &lt;tuple&gt; &lt;atom name="CatOtherNumbers"&gt;1895.1.117a&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;/tuple&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;table name="ProPlaceName_tab"&gt; &lt;tuple&gt; &lt;atom name="ProPlaceName"&gt;China&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;/tuple&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;table name="CatOtherNumberType_tab"&gt; &lt;tuple&gt; &lt;atom name="CatOtherNumberType"&gt;Other Number&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;/tuple&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;atom name="DatDateMade"&gt;&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;atom name="DatEarliestDateMadeOrig"&gt;&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;atom name="DatLatestDateMadeOrig"&gt;&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;/tuple&gt; &lt;tuple&gt; &lt;table name="CatObjectName_tab"&gt; &lt;tuple&gt; &lt;atom name="CatObjectName"&gt;Boot&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;/tuple&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;atom name="CatObjectNumber"&gt;2003-39-20B&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;atom name="CatObjectTitle"&gt;&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;table name="CatOtherNumbers_tab"&gt; &lt;tuple&gt; &lt;atom name="CatOtherNumbers"&gt;1895.1.91b&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;/tuple&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;table name="ProPlaceName_tab"&gt; &lt;tuple&gt; &lt;atom name="ProPlaceName"&gt;China&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;/tuple&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;table name="CatOtherNumberType_tab"&gt; &lt;tuple&gt; &lt;atom name="CatOtherNumberType"&gt;Other Number&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;/tuple&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;atom name="DatDateMade"&gt;&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;atom name="DatEarliestDateMadeOrig"&gt;&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;atom name="DatLatestDateMadeOrig"&gt;&lt;/atom&gt; &lt;/tuple&gt; &lt;/ecatalogue&gt; </code></pre> <p>I would like to transform the above into this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;add&gt; &lt;doc&gt; &lt;field name="ProPlaceName"&gt;China&lt;/field&gt; &lt;field name="CatObjectTitle"&gt;&lt;/field&gt; &lt;field name="CatObjectNumber"&gt;2003-39-27A&lt;/field&gt; &lt;field name="CatOtherNumberType"&gt;Other Number&lt;/field&gt; &lt;field name="CatOtherNumbers"&gt;1895.1.117a&lt;/field&gt; &lt;field name="CatObjectName_tab"&gt;Clog&lt;/field&gt; &lt;field name="DatDateMade"&gt;&lt;/field&gt; &lt;field name="DatEarliestDateMadeOrig"&gt;&lt;/field&gt; &lt;field name="DatLatestDateMadeOrig"&gt;&lt;/field&gt; &lt;/doc&gt; &lt;!-- Row 2 --&gt; &lt;doc&gt; &lt;field name="ProPlaceName"&gt;China&lt;/field&gt; &lt;field name="CatObjectTitle"&gt;&lt;/field&gt; &lt;field name="CatObjectNumber"&gt;2003-39-20B&lt;/field&gt; &lt;field name="CatOtherNumberType"&gt;Other Number&lt;/field&gt; &lt;field name="CatOtherNumbers"&gt;1895.1.91b&lt;/field&gt; &lt;field name="CatObjectName_tab"&gt;Boot&lt;/field&gt; &lt;field name="DatDateMade"&gt;&lt;/field&gt; &lt;field name="DatEarliestDateMadeOrig"&gt;&lt;/field&gt; &lt;field name="DatLatestDateMadeOrig"&gt;&lt;/field&gt; &lt;/doc&gt; &lt;/add&gt; </code></pre> <p>Is it best to try and use XSL/XSLT or use something like java or another programming language to make the transformation? How would you approach this problem and can you point me in the right direction?</p> <p>I believe it can be done using XSL. Any help is appreciated.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
