graham drummondSubject: xsl:if test statement result to new element
Author: graham drummond

Hi,

Quite new to this, and having an issue using XSLT to transform and update XML. I have the XSLT creating 3 new elements and I need the result of an 'if' statement to go into one of the newly create elements. Any help would be much appreciated:

Part of XML:

<Customer>
<MortalityStatus>ALIVE</MortalityStatus>
</Customer>

XSLT:

<xsl:template match="//*[local-name() = 'CommunicationBody']">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
<xsl:element name="Deceased"></xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="FolderDelivery"></xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="Investigation"></xsl:element>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="//*[local-name() = 'MortalityStatus']">
<MortalityStatus>
<xsl:if test="text () ='ALIVE'">true</xsl:if>
</MortalityStatus>
</xsl:template>

Part of Current Output:

<Customer>
<MortalityStatus>true</MortalityStatus>
</Customer>
<Deceased/>
<FolderDelivery/>
<Investigation/>

Required Output:

<Customer>
<MortalityStatus>ALIVE</MortalityStatus>
</Customer>
<Deceased/>
<FolderDelivery>true</FolderDelivery>
<Investigation/>

Which of the 3 folders above it goes in is dependant on their MortalityStatus.

See if the following code helps

Ivan


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

<xsl:template match="CommunicationBody">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:element name="Deceased"></xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="FolderDelivery">
<xsl:if test="Customer/MortalityStatus ='ALIVE'">
<xsl:text>true</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="Investigation"></xsl:element>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="MortalityStatus">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text()"/>

<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

<xsl:template match="//*[local-name() = 'CommunicationBody']">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
<xsl:element name="Deceased"></xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="FolderDelivery"><xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="InvestigationDelivery"></xsl:element>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="//*[local-name() = 'MortalityStatus']">
<MortalityStatus>
<xsl:if test="text ()='ALIVE'">
<xsl:text>true</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</MortalityStatus>
</xsl:template>

However, I need the result i.e. 'true' to appear in the FolderDelivery element and not in the MortalityStatus element. I need the MortalityStatus element to remain with 'ALIVE'.

Any ideas?

I advise against match expressions like the following, they are highly inefficient and difficult to maintain

//*[local-name() = 'MortalityStatus']

Have you tried the code I posted?



I also modified your source to match the "required output" as desribed in the original post

Hope this helps
Ivan
