2 source documents possible for XSL transformations?

blabla120

Hello,

I am transforming a document A to target document B.

My Question:
Is it possible to engage a second source document C to the
transformation, thus information from doc A und doc C is being
transformed to document B?

Imagine having a country code like

<customer>
<name>Michelin</name>
<country>FR</country>
</customer>

in document A.

In the second source document C there would be the assignment of the
country codes like:

<country>
<shortkey>FR</shortkey>
<name>France</name>
<president>Chirac</president>
</country>

So document C acts like a "key-value"-file.

In the target document C I want to get this result:
<html>
Michelin - France
</html>

Thanks a lot!

If the data volumes are small,

<xsl:template match="customer">
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
<xsl:text> - </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="document('C.xml')
//country[shortkey=current()/country]/name"/>
</xsl:template>

If the data volumes are larger, use <xsl:key> and key()

Hi Peter,

thanks for your awnser.

I want to try to use the <xsl:key> mechanism.

I wonder now how to include a separate document 'C' with the key
values. Do I include it into the XSL-File? Or into the source file 'A'?
Which syntax do I use? I found something like <include> or <import>,
but I couldn' t find out how to use it.

Thanks for any hints.
Bernd

If you use keys then you don't include the file at all.
The keys just reference it.

Neither nor.

but I couldn' t find out how to use it.

Those are for including and importing files of XSL code, not your
XML documents to process.

Read up on xsl:key and the key() function.
