Neal WaltersSubject: XSLT Mapping How-To
Author: Neal Walters

I'd like to map the following as easiliy as possible.
Ideally, I'd like to drag/drop twice:
1) Copy Order and all descenddents to Order
2) Copy ReconciledProfile and all descendents to the Profile inside Order

So I see that I have two questions:
1) I'm used to a "massCopy functoid" in Biztalk, is there a simply GUI equivalent? I think it builds this XSLT:
<xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
There could be dozens of elements, I have kept my sample below short for brevity.

2) How to I handle the nesting here, i.e. taking an outer element, and sticking inside the other output element.


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<SampleInput>
<Order>
<OrderInfo>xxx</OrderInfo>
<LineItems>
<LineItem>abc</LineItem>
<LineItem>def</LineItem>
</LineItems>
</Order>
<ReconciledProfile>
<Name>John Doe</Name>
<City>Dallas</City>
</ReconciledProfile>
</SampleInput>

<SampleOutput>
<Order>
<Profile>
<Name>John Doe</Name>
<City>Dallas</City>
</Profile>
<OrderInfo>xxx</OrderInfo>
<LineItems>
<LineItem>abc</LineItem>
<LineItem>def</LineItem>
</LineItems>
</Order>
</SampleOutput>

Thanks,

I went to find a video for mapping xml to xml - and couldn't find one. Looks like all your tutorials are for the WSYWIG.

I built the map below by dragging one element at a time (ignoring my bulk copy part of the question).

I don't understand how the GUI handles the for-each loop, but leaves out the select statement there (i.e. the element tag is generated, but the data is not copied.)


<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<SampleOutput>
<Order>
<Profile>
<xsl:value-of select="SampleInput/ReconciledProfile"/>
<Name>
<xsl:value-of select="SampleInput/ReconciledProfile/Name"/>
</Name>
<City>
<xsl:value-of select="SampleInput/ReconciledProfile/City"/>
</City>
</Profile>
<xsl:value-of select="SampleInput/Order"/>
<OrderInfo>
<xsl:value-of select="SampleInput/Order/OrderInfo"/>
</OrderInfo>
<LineItems>
<xsl:value-of select="SampleInput/Order/LineItems"/>
<xsl:for-each select="SampleInput/Order/LineItems/LineItem">
<LineItem/>
</xsl:for-each>
</LineItems>
</Order>
</SampleOutput>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hope this helps. I'm interested in how I can use your GUI to save time and how it compares to Biztalk mapper.

I see if I right click when I drag links, I get more options, such as the "Create Copy Link". I think that is what I wanted. I don't understand why left click and drag defaults as it does.

Just a note that I got my map done, the full one took about an hour and a half. I was just hoping there were some nice drag/drop shortcuts or some bulk-move capabilities. I ended-up creating a couple of templates and building very repetitive code like this:

<AccountCode>
<xsl:value-of select="*[local-name()='AccountCode']"/>
</AccountCode>
<OrderStatusCode>
<xsl:value-of select="*[local-name()='OrderStatusCode']"/>
</OrderStatusCode>
<ConstituentActionId>
<xsl:value-of select="*[local-name()'ConstituentActionId']"/>
</ConstituentActionId>

Any ideas on how to shorten the coding process?

I hate to hard code all the statements above, because if new elements are added, then map has to change. I would prefer to use some sort of mass-copy.

Have you tried using the "Copy" link in mapper? If you drag&drop a node from source to target using the right button of the mouse and you choose "Create Copy Link", the whole node subtree will be copied verbatim using <xsl:copy-of/>
