I didn't try this, so it may need a few tweaks to get exactly what you want. You need to start with a <foreach> that iterates through the <node>s you want to append. Then use <appendresult> inside that. Something like this should get you closer:
<foreach items="$childrenNodes/xml//node" variable="thisNode">
<appendresult outputvariable="$mapNodeCore">
<node>{$thisNode}</node>
</appendresult>

Hi mashers,
I have a problem using <appendresult> to achieve what I want. I know I can do this with a <constructor> in this particular case but I wanted to reduce the amout of code necessary to build up my final variable content.
I want to append a number of nodes to a variable by using appendresult but I get an error as follows:
XPST0003: XQuery syntax error in #...e variable $out external ; {$#: Unexpected token "{" in path expression
I am trying to append a set of nodes to the end of a variable before using that variable in a <constructor> further on. The <appendresult> is defined as:
<appendresult outputvariable="$mapNodeCore">
{$childrenNodes/xml//node}
</appendresult>
Say for example $mapNodeCore was:
<richcontent>
<html> ...
</html>
</richcontent>
and $childrenNodes was:
<xml><childNode>
<node CREATED="1259552952926" ID="ID_1876945138" MODIFIED="1259730106020"
TEXT="Herd_Id">
<richcontent TYPE="NOTE">
<html>
<head/>
<body>
<p>Herd Identifier</p>
<p>Herd_Id</p>
</body>
</html>
</richcontent>
</node>
</childNode>
<childNode>
<node CREATED="1259552952926" ID="ID_1876945138" MODIFIED="1259730106020"
TEXT="Herd_Dtl">
<richcontent TYPE="NOTE">
<html>
<head/>
<body>
<p>Additional Details about the herd</p>
<p>Herd_Dtl</p>
</body>
</html>
</richcontent>
</node>
</childNode></xml>
then what I want to do is add all of the <node> children of $childrenNodes to what is already in $mapNodeCore. Essentially, concatenate those nodes at the end of $mapNodeCore.
What is the easiest or most elegant way to achieve this?
Many thanks, Innes
