Hi,

I'm try to create a template to match all nodes except a certain one.
For example in my source I have:

<vxml>
<catch event="connection.disconnect">
<goto next="Stop.jsp?>
</catch>
<property name="inputmodes" value="voice dtmf"/>
<property name="timeout" value="5s"/>
<var name="x"/>
<var name="y"/>
</vxml>

I can process all element nodes whose name is property by

<xsl:template match="property">
....
</xsl:template>

but how to I process every other element node without processing the property node again:

I tried
<xsl:template match="*[not(property)">
....
</xsl:template>

How do I call the template:
<xsl:apply-templates select="???"/>

Define a template with empty body

<xsl:template match="property"/>

Hope this helps

Not sure if this will work.

I want to process a particular element called "property"
and also process any other element except property.

If I just use
<xsl:template match="property"/>
then how to do process other elements except property

Give us a more concrete example of which element "property" you want to process and which don't.

Thank You
Ivan

In the example I posted, I several child elements of <vxml>.
The child elements being <catch>,<property>,<var>.

As in:
<vxml>
<catch event="connection.disconnect">
<goto next="Stop.jsp?>
</catch>
<property name="inputmodes" value="voice dtmf"/>
<property name="timeout" value="5s"/>
<var name="x"/>
<var name="y"/>
<vxml>

So I want to process this doc the following way.
1)Go through the element nodes and apply a template matching
the <property> element.
2)Go through the element nodes and apply a template match all element
nodes except <property> (<catch>, <var>, etc)

Thanks again.

In the following example I used a parameter.
An alternative approach would be to use the attribute mode in the template definition, but that would require having a double implementation for each template.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
<merge>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:with-param name="skip" select="'property'"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</merge>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:param name="skip"/>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()">
<xsl:with-param name="skip" select="$skip"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="vxml">
<xsl:param name="skip"/>
<myroot>
<xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:with-param name="skip" select="$skip"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</myroot>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="property">
<xsl:param name="skip"/>
<xsl:if test="$skip != local-name()">
<xsl:copy/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks Ivan.

I'll have a look.

BTW, I downloaded a trial of Stylus Studio and I tried using Mapper to convert a sample xml file. I did not see any easy way to express what I wanted done when I was transforming the doc manually. What are some of the limitations of Mapper?

I got bits and peaces on what you are trying to do so i can't tell for sure if it can be done using XML to XML Mapper.

Mapper is designed to facilitate mapping of structures and not well suited for content mapping (if node A = 'a' map to X else map to Y).

Hope this helps
