Nagarjuna SSubject: XSLT for dynamic target fields
Author: Nagarjuna S
Date: 18 Jul 2011 03:43 PM
Hello,

Input XML -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Createelement_MT>
<Field Name="A">
<Value>1</Value>
</Field>
<Field Name="B">
<Value>1</Value>
</Field>
...
</Createelement_MT>

Expected OutPut XML -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Createelement_MT>
<Statement><TableName><table>XYZ</table>
<access>
<A>1</A>
<B>2</B>
..
</access>
</Statement></TableName>
</Createelement_MT>

The value of the attribute 'Name' of field 'Field' should be the name of target field.

XSLT:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml"/>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Createelement_MT">
<xsl:element name="statement">
<xsl:element name="TableName">
<xsl:element name="table">ABC</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="access">
<xsl:for-each select="Field">
<xsl:element name="{@Name}">
<xsl:value-of select="Value"></xsl:value-of></xsl:element></xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Error:
Error: at xsl:element on line 15 of file:///......: XTDE0820: Invalid element name. Invalid QName {}

Please help me with the xslt code for this requirement.
Thanks!

Use the following approach to ensure that the element name is valid NCNAME

<xsl:element name="{translate(@Name, translate(@Name, 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_'), '_')}">
<xsl:value-of select="Value"></xsl:value-of>
</xsl:element>

Thanks for the reply.

Iam getting an error saying - the truncate fn should have 3 arguments.

I have changed the code as follows and its working as expected now.

<xsl:for-each select="Createelement_MT/Field">
<xsl:variable name="field" select="normalize-space(@Name)"></xsl:variable>
<xsl:element name="{$field}">
<xsl:value-of select="Value"></xsl:value-of>

Sorry the correct code is below

Watch out because normalize-space only trims leading and trailing whitespace characters and replacing sequences of whitespace characters by a single space.

If the attribute value in your input XML may contain an invalid QName then sooner or later you will get a runtime error

Hope this helps
Ivan


here a quick example

======================
input XML


<Createelement_MT>
<Field Name="A">
<Value>A</Value>
</Field>
<Field Name=" space ">
<Value> space </Value>
</Field>

<Field Name="3number">
<Value>3number</Value>
</Field>
</Createelement_MT>

=================================
XSLT

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml"/>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Createelement_MT">
<xsl:element name="statement">
<xsl:element name="TableName">
<xsl:element name="table">ABC</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="access">
<xsl:for-each select="Field">
<xsl:element name="{translate(@Name, translate(@Name, 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_', ''), '_')}">
<xsl:value-of select="Value"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

====================================
Output XML

<statement>
<TableName>
<table>ABC</table>
<access>
<A>A</A>
<_space_>space</_space_>
<_number>3number</_number>
</access>
</TableName>
</statement>
