JJJ JJJSubject: convert XML to XML via XSLT
Author: JJJ JJJ
Date: 21 Oct 2005 10:53 AM
Hi
I am trying to convert 1 XML file into another.
For example, I need to convert:
<aa>
<a>
<nameid>123</nameid>
<dob>2005-10-10</dob>
</a>
</aa>
<bb>
<b>
<nameid>123</nameid>
<address>blah</address>
</b>
</bb>

INTO

<aa>
<a>
<nameid>123</nameid>
<dob>2005-10-10</dob>
<address>blah</address>
</a>
</aa>

So every time the element bb or b occurs, I need to transform some of its data as it it was an occurrence of the aa and a elements.
I have tried doing this in the mapper on Stylus but on adding an XSLT for-each instruction i get the error "Target node already has a control link".
DO you know of a way rund this or the actual XSLT code?
Many thanks.

Assuming that element <bb> from which you want to extract additional info is a next sibling of element <aa> something like this will do it:

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

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//xml/aa">
<aa>
<a>
<xsl:copy-of select="a/nameid"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="a/dob"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::bb"/>
</a>
</aa>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="bb">
<xsl:copy-of select="b/address"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

if you'd like to match <a> and <b> based on the value of <nameid> XSLT will be different. Let us know if this is the case - we will post example which will handle this too.

Hi - thanks for the feedback.
It's more like each time the <b> element occurs, I need to create another <a> element with any of the tags in <b>

So if this occurs
<b>
<nameid>123</nameid>
<address>string</address>
</b>

then I need to create
<a>
<nameid>123</nameid>
<address>string</address>
</a>

before actually closing off the <aa> element with </aa>

<bb> would then not be used in the new XML file at all.

How about this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xml>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
</xml>
</xsl:template>

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

<xsl:template match="b">
<aa>
<a>
<xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
</a>
</aa>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Sorry - still lost. Let's use some proper names so that it's abit easier to understand. At the moment I have this code:

<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="delta">
<mainelement>
<xsl:for-each select="candidates">
<candidates>
<xsl:for-each select="candidate">
<candidate>
<empid>
<xsl:value-of select="empid"/>
</empid>
<firstname>
<xsl:value-of select="firstname"/>
</firstname>
<lastname>
<xsl:value-of select="lastname"/>
</lastname>
</candidate>
</xsl:for-each>
</candidates>
</xsl:for-each>
</mainelement>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="canvat">
<empid>
<xsl:value-of select="empid"/>
</empid>
<companynumber>
<xsl:value-of select="companynumber"/>
</companynumber>
<vatnumber>
<xsl:value-of select="vatnumber"/>
</vatnumber>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Now, just under where the </candidate> occurs I need to apply a loop so that for each time the <canvat> element occurs it instead creates a new <candidate> element.

Many thanks.
