Folks,
I have a XML document that has been put together from a "dynamic part"
(generated somehow during runtime) and a "static part" (read from a
control file). Basically the document looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rootelement>
<subelementName>subelementTwo</subelementName>
<subelements>
<subelementOne>
<value>one</value>
</subelementOne>
<subelementTwo>
<value>foo</value>
<anotherValue/>
</subelementTwo>
</subelements>
</rootelement>
Here the dynamic part is the content of the <subelementName> element,
while the subelements come from the control file.
Now I would want to have the dynamic part of the document to control
the transformation, i.e. i am only interrested of the subelement which
name equals the content of the <subelementName> element.
I think i can achieve this by the following xsl:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/rootelement">
<resultroot>
<xsl:apply-templates select="subelements/*">
<xsl:with-param name="subelementName">
<xsl:value-of select="subelementName"/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</resultroot>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="subelementOne">
<xsl:param name="subelementName"/>
<xsl:if test="name(.) = $subelementName">
<!-- do something -->
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="subelementTwo">
<xsl:param name="subelementName"/>
<xsl:if test="name(.) = $subelementName">
<!-- do something else-->
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
However, I would like to "limit the templates applied" instead of
apply them all and then try to figure out in each of them wheter the
template should provide something to the output or not (imagine, if we
had thousands of these templates).
So I quess I have these questions:
1.
How can i have the <xsl:apply-templates> to select only the node-set
that match to the content of an element (here: subelementName)
2.
Is there another, preferred way of doing this thing - am i looking at
wrong direction here?
Appreciate Your views on this,
