[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Using a path expression stored in the xml file ?
 Hi,
I wonder if it is possible to use a path which is stored
in the xMl file while processing it with xsl, (see example
I made several tries with lotusxsl and oracle without success)
I know that it sounds like an heresy for XSL experts :)
but more generally this question will raise the problem of the
evaluation of the path which is not clear for me (Let's say
that I was happier with parenthesis,quote, backquote and coma
instead of brackets, dollar and strings !).
If there is no answer.
"Dear XSLT submitters (?)
Maybe symmetrically to string(expr) it will be nice to have a expr(string)
or a path(string)?"
thanks in advance

example:
xml:
<laws>
<law-a right="chief"> The chief is right </law-a>
<law-b right="../law-a/@right"> The chief is always right!</law-b>
<law-c right="from-parent(node())/from-children(law-a)/@right"> Even if the
chief is wrong, the chief is right!</law-c>
</laws>
xsl:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" >
<xsl:template match='/'>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Laws</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<xsl:apply-templates select="laws/*" />
</BODY>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="law-a">
<xsl:variable name="rec" expr="./@right" />
<p> <xsl:value-of select="text()"/> </p>
<p> who is right : <xsl:value-of select="$rec" /> </p>
</xsl:template>
<!-- what do I have to use instead of "$rec" below -->
<!-- to use the value of the variable as a path ? -->
<xsl:template match="law-b">
<xsl:variable name="rec" expr="./@right" />
<p> <xsl:value-of select="text()"/> </p>
<p> who is right : <xsl:value-of select="$rec" /> (<xsl:value-of
select="../law-a/@right" />)</p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="law-c">
<xsl:variable name="rec" expr="./@right" />
<p> <xsl:value-of select="text()"/> </p>
<p> who is right : <xsl:value-of select="$rec" /> (<xsl:value-of
select="from-parent(node())/from-children(law-a)/@right" />) </p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
