How to break a huge xml into small ones based on element value in xmlbeans?

[Nicola]

Hi All,

I am new to xmlbeans. I have attached here the xsd I use. I get a very huge xml and my requirement is to chunk them based on 'Locality' which is a alphanumberic type. I should produce xml for identical localities.
Can you please provide me a hint on how to proceed with this. Should I use xquery/xpath or stax. Which would be more efficient as the Localities list is huge as well( we have 100 localities).

hi there,

maybe, this could be so simple as "//Locality", or the first one "//Locality[1]", or the last one as "//Locality[last()]", even maybe "//Locality/*".

best regards,
