Y SKSubject: copy all elements and hardcode some.
Author: Y SK

Hi,

i have the following xml. I am trying to create a xslt that will copy all nodes except the few that i need to hard code some values in.
in sample xml below, i would like to set value of node3 to MY OWN VALUE while copying the rest as is.

xml i have:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?> <Maino> <node1><node3>aaaa</node3></node1> <node2>qq</node2> </Maino>

the XML i want:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?> <Maino> <node1><node3>MY OWN VALUE</node3></node1> <node2>qq</node2> </Maino>

I am totally new to XSLT so pardon my stupidness.. after hours of googling all I could get working is copying of all the elements. I cant seem to match the node and hard code the elements that i want.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:variable name="PATH" select="Maino/node1/node3" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="*">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="local-name() = $PATH">
--set hard coded value for this node
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>

<xsl:copy-of select="current()"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


Thanks,

Hi,
your code will simply test the root element and copy it over, including its children. You should instead use apply-templates to implement an identity transformation (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#copying), with a special template matching the node you want to replace, filled with your static content.
