Hi all,

It may look silly, but my client requirement is like that.
I want to pass two parameters with a single name in a single xml tag.

For example

XML

<book name="Need" name="Help" price="$20">
</ book>

Is it possible to pass the above mentioned xml tag?
If its possible how can i?
Any tips or tricks will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advace.

Why don't you comebine the values with a commma or semicolon spearator? like Name=Need,Help etc?

Thanks pal, I've tried the way you mentioned, but ended up with nothing.
Is there any possible way to achieve the same?

could post the code? I presume you are using some language to create the xml?

No, this is not possible. The Attributes within a node must be unique. And it is case-sensitive as well.

Probably you may prefer something like

XML

<book>
<name>Need</name>
<name> Help </name>
</book>

And if it served the purpose. But it will make your XML heavy and bit inefficient.

Did not get result ? You mean you did not get approval from client ? or you are facing some technical issue ?

Alright, So I assume you are having technical problem. Can you please update us with details about code tried and issue faced in node approach rather than attribute approach ? Then only I or anyone will be able to help.

I choose another way to resolve the above issue.
Instead of passing two values i passed in another way(due to security policy i could not share the way i did sorry guys!!!)

Now its working well and good !
