Hi All,
I would like to get all the
content/text in <p> node from the XML document where <p> has a
child node <strong>Interest:<strong>. Below is the listing of
both XML document and XSLT stylesheet:
<?xml
version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE
html (View Source for full doctype...)>
- <html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
- <head>
- <body
........
- ><div
id="container">
+ <div
id="header">
<div
id="postmark" />
- <div
id="content">
+ <div
id="as1">
........
<h1>Employee Detail</h1>
-
<p>
<strong>Interest:</strong>
<br />
Tennis
<br />
Movie
<br
/>
Swimming
<br
/>
.....
<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
exclude-result-prefixes="ns">
<xsl:template
match="/">
<area>
- <xsl:for-each
select="/ns:html/ns:body/ns:div[@id='content']/ns:p/ns:strong">
- <xsl:if
test="contains(.,'Interest:')">
- <xsl:choose>
- <xsl:when
test="contains(.,'Interest:')">
- <interest>
<xsl:value-of select="../text()" />
</interest>
</xsl:when>
-
<xsl:otherwise>
<interest>Unknown</interest>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The transformation process
produces the following output:
<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<title>Employee Detail</title>
<body>
<h1>Employee
Detail</h1>
<interest>Tennis</interest>
</body>
</title>
</html>
One possible solution is by
using recursion to go through the list of values on nodes but I am cannot
think of how this could be done. Perhaps my difficulty is that I don’t know
how to navigate down the list of interest of the same node using xsl
command. Most of the Googled articles consisted of searching for the same
type of element a cross multiple nodes, where as I am looking all the values
(same type anyway) in a single node.
Below is the JDOM XPath solution
to get the same list of values:
XPath interestxpath =
XPath.newInstance("/ns:html/ns:body/ns:div[@id='content']/ns:p[10]/node()");
interestxpath.addNamespace("ns",
"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");
java.util.List
interest_list =
interestxpath.selectNodes(employeejdomDocument);
Iterator
interest_iterator = interest_list.iterator();
while
(interest_iterator..hasNext())
{
interest_value =
((org.jdom.Content)interest_iterator.next()).getValue();
……
I am new to XSLT stylesheet
transformation and can do with some guidances.
Many thanks again,
