C MSubject: Remove duplicates in a list - Urgent
Author: C M
Date: 25 Aug 2006 01:31 PM
Hi All,

I have the following xml input & the xsl code which is not giving the desired putput. I need to remove the duplicate person with the same id & map only one. Here representedBy is the repeating node.

input:

<ns0:listOfRepresentedBy>
<ns0:representedBy>
<ns0:person>
<ns0:id>c1</ns0:id>
</ns0:person>
</ns0:representedBy>
<ns0:representedBy>
<ns0:person>
<ns0:id>c1</ns0:id>
</ns0:person>
</ns0:representedBy>
<ns0:representedBy>
<ns0:person>
<ns0:id>c1</ns0:id>
</ns0:person>
</ns0:representedBy>
<ns0:representedBy>
<ns0:person>
<ns0:id>c1</ns0:id>
</ns0:person>
</ns0:representedBy>
</ns0:listOfRepresentedBy>

xsl:

<ns0:listOfRepresentedBy>
<xsl:for-each select="ns0:listOfRelationship/ns0:listOfRepresentedBy/ns0:representedBy[not(ns0:person/ns0:id = preceding::ns0:person/ns0:id)]">
<ns0:representedBy>
<ns0:person>
<ns0:id>
<xsl:value-of select="ns0:person/ns0:id"/>
</ns0:id>
</ns0:person>
</ns0:representedBy>
</xsl:for-each>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Not sure why it isn't working for you. Try preceding-sibling axis instead?
<ns0:listOfRepresentedBy>
<xsl:copy-of select="ns0:listOfRelationship/ns0:listOfRepresentedBy/ns0:representedBy[not(ns0:person/ns0:id = preceding-sibling::/ns0:representedBy/ns0:person/ns0:id)]">
</ns0:listOfRepresentedBy>
