RE: Get value from update.xml and stored in source.xm

Hi,

Using below xsl the output is like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<test>
  <chapter>
    <test1 id="0000001">
    </test1>
  </chapter>
</test> 

<test2> element is missing in source.xml which should be
<test2>ABCD</test2>.

Try applying the following stylesheet to 'source.xml'.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0"> <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/> <xsl:strip-space
elements="*"/>

<xsl:output method="xml" />

<xsl:variable name="update" select="document('update.xml')"/> <xsl:key
name="id" match="*" use="@id"/>

<xsl:template match="*[@id]">
	<xsl:variable name="id" select="@id"/>
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="@*" />
		<xsl:for-each select="$update">
			<xsl:copy-of select="key('id',$id)/*"/>
		</xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*" />
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
