Hi Argyn

I have valid xml docs but I could not put them into an xacml AttributeValue.
what I'm trying to do is to declare spatial rules. In spatial rules you
define a geometry, a spatial referenz system (srs) and a topological
relation. For encoding geometries I'm using GML (xml syntax i.e. an xml
app). An access rule area  (e.g polygon which represents the area of the
US ) encoded in gml looks like this:
<gml:Polygon srsName="epsg.xml">
    <outerBoundaryIs>
        <gml:coordinates>23.6,29 45,46 .........<!-- the relevant
coordinates --> </coordinates>
        </outerBoundaryIs>
</gml:Polygon>

To get this area encoding into an xacml Attribute I have to create a new
datatype  if  I want to use this syntax. seth explained me how to do. so I
simply declared a new Datatype my string wich encodes the node value(and all
its descendants) of the relevant AttributeValue into a string. having this.
I can declare an AttributeValue which allows < and > in its textnode.

 hope you can understand what I'm trying to express . (sory for my bad
englisch ;-)

greets
Jan

Can u explain this part? If you have XML docs then they must be already
encoded properly.

Thanks,
