These are the first ideas that came to mind. Consider XML files a.xml, b.xml, and c.xml below <!-- a.xml --> <row> <ename>Steve</ename> </row> <!-- b.xml --> <row> <ename>Francis</ename> </row> <?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- c.xml --> <!DOCTYPE rowset [ <!ENTITY a SYSTEM "a.xml"> <!ENTITY b SYSTEM "b.xml"> ]> <rowset> &a; &b; </rowset> Then the stylesheet below illustrates two ways to "process both a.xml and b.xml files" the first way uses "c.xml" that includes a.xml and b.xml as external entities to "glue" them together. The second uses the XPath | operator to "or" the "a.xml" and "b.xml" docs together. The result of doing: $ oraxsl anything.xml stylesheetbelow.xsl is: Steve Francis Steve Francis Hope this gives some ideas... <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="document('c.xml')//rowset"/> <xsl:apply-templates select=" document('a.xml')//row | document('b.xml')//row"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="rowset"> <xsl:apply-templates select="row"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="row"> <xsl:value-of select="ename"/> <xsl:text>
</xsl:text> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> _________________________________________________________ Steve Muench, Consulting Product Manager & XML Evangelist Business Components for Java Development Team ----- Original Message ----- From: "Selva, Francis" <Francis.Selva@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2000 8:45 AM Subject: RE: Accessing 2 xml files in xsl | This is what I have.But how can it access from 2 different xml files?.Should | I have to define all the different template matches then?.Is there a way I | can just define one template like "/" and get all those values from both xml | files? | | Francis | | | | | | | > | > here was the example David gave. | > ============================================ | > xsl:import is for importing stylesheets, ie for structuring your | > stylesheet out of smaller modules.
