How to create Property array in wso2 ESB?

Question

I have my request body as:

<tns:InputRequest xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/">
<tns:ID>ID_001</tns:ID>
<tns:ID>ID_002</tns:ID>
<tns:Description>Description for ID_001</tns:Description>
<tns:Description>Description for ID_002</tns:Description>
</tns:InputRequest>

and to get the value of ID and Description, i Have created property as:

<property xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/" name="ID" expression="//tns:ID" scope="default" type="STRING"/>
<property xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/" name="Description" expression="//tns:Description" scope="default" type="STRING"/>

But this gets me only one value. How can i make a property array so that i can store multiple values of ID and description in it and how to retreive from this array property?Looking forward to your reply.Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You should be able to extract those values using XPATH (//node/child::node()) and then set to property.

Below thread will help you to extract required nodes and set to property. You need to set the type as 'OM' to preserve XML as it is.
