...the 1-3-2 I can live with, but this XML is going into Adobe
inDesign, which respects the tag order. It's not a simple task to
re-order the fields in post-processing. Clearly, it makes no sense to
list a guest's biography BEFORE their name.
So, since no one had a suggestion, I simply went to XSLT for the
post-processing.
I found it easiest with a slight change in the mapping file:
<model>
<entity name="Guests" xmlTag="Guest">
<property name="bio" xmlTag="Biography"/>
<property name="guestName" xmlTag="GuestName" attribute="YES"/>
<property name="panels" xmlTag="Panel"/>
</entity>
<entity name="Panels" xmlTag="Panel">
<property name="toTimeSlots.timeSlotStartDateAM" xmlTag="Time"/>
<property name="panelTitle" xmlTag="PanelTitle"/>
<property name="roomList" xmlTag="Room"/>
</entity>
</model>
...and the following XSLT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="Guest">
<Guest>
<GuestName>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
</GuestName>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:copy-of select="Biography"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Panel"/>
</Guest>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@guestName">
<xsl:attribute name="guestName">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Panel">
<Panel>
<xsl:copy-of select="Time"/>
<xsl:text>	</xsl:text>
<xsl:copy-of select="Room"/>
<xsl:text>	</xsl:text>
<xsl:copy-of select="PanelTitle"/>
</Panel>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Note that this doesn't encode the root element, which I just added that
by hand rather than fuss with it any further. The resulting file
imports into inDesign pretty spiffily, plus it puts the Panel elements
on one line of output with tabs in between.
