I have XML documents that use "ID" as the ID attribute name. I am currently using ExtendedMetaData. What is the best approach to enable automatic recording of extrinsic IDs in the Resource? From what I have read, XMLMap is not compatible with ExtendedMetaData and the two should not be used together.
Thanks,
JT

JT,
If necessary (if the XML map option interacts badly; it wasn't designed
to be used with extended meta data) you can construct a specialized
instance of XMLHandler and set idAttribute directly.
