Combining two XML files for xslt transformation

[HP17]

I’m able using Javascript to transform a XML file using XSLT to a nice HTML output. What I need to do now is to combine two XML files and transform them together using XSLT. Here an abstract example:

Load(xml1); Load(xml2);
Xml = xml1 + xml2;
Xml.transformNo de(xslt);

In my xslt document I need to access then nodes from both xml documents therefore the combination (the select=”documen t(myXML)” in xslt is to late since I can’t use a path variable here) .

Any hint I much appreciated since I couldn’t find a solution in the web and with trying.

See below the html file(for Firefox)


// Load XSL
var processor = new XSLTProcessor() ;
var xslt = document.implem entation.create Document("", "", null);
xslt.async = false;
xslt.load("styl e.xsl");
processor.impor tStylesheet(xsl t);

// Load XML
var src_doc = document.implem entation.create Document("","", null);
var src_doc1 = document.implem entation.create Document("","", null);
src_doc.async = false;
src_doc1.async = false;
src_doc.load("s erver.xml");
src_doc1.load(" pool.xml");

// Transform
var result = processor.trans formToDocument( src_doc + src_doc1); // it doesn’t work
var xmls = new XMLSerializer() ;
var output = xmls.serializeT oString(result) ;
document.write( output);



Thanks a lot

See this link. It may be easy to merge using a new XSL file.

It depends of the 2 xml structures if you want to merge or to concatenate them. See also these samples .

Thank you for this input.
But as mentioned i can't do it using xslt becasue i'm using a "path-variable" to read and convert the xml files. So the xml files will be always in a different location and the problem is that I'm using in one xslt file a reference from to an other xml file so select=”documen t(XML1)" but this path changes as well.
so my plan is to combine the xml files before and be able to access any other node lateron in the xslt file.
I hope there is also a way using JavaScript.

Thanks

You just need to use as a model the code from figure 1.

Also, you can use XSL for merge having the xml file names as parameters.
See this example.

Hi,

Did you solve your problem?

[HP17]

Sorry for the late feedback,

I could solve my issue with the the help of the parameter. in transformation i add a "path" parameter to the docProcessor which i'm able to access the via <xsl:param name="path" /> and <xsl:value-of select="$path"> .


Thank you once more for the help.
