locatorurl progress
Hi,

Here's my XML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE Aps:VpmResultSet SYSTEM
"http://sofa.atc.lmco.com/assist/config/dtd/ApsVpmQueryResponse.dtd">
<Aps:VpmResultSet xmlns:Aps="http://www.assist.com/">
<Aps:PartStructure>
  <Aps:Name>assembly 1</Aps:Name>
  <Aps:PartNumber>1</Aps:PartNumber>
  <Aps:TopAssemblyName>pre assembly</Aps:TopAssemblyName>
  <Aps:AsDesigned>
     <Aps:Drawing>
        <Aps:Name>drawing assembly 1-1</Aps:Name>
        <Aps:DocumentId>314-1</Aps:DocumentId>
        <Aps:Sheets>
           <Aps:LocatorUrl>http://www.yahoo.com</Aps:LocatorUrl>
        </Aps:Sheets>
     </Aps:Drawing>
    <Aps:Drawing>
        <Aps:Name>drawing assembly 1-2</Aps:Name>
        <Aps:DocumentId>314-2</Aps:DocumentId>
        <Aps:Sheets>
           <Aps:LocatorUrl>http://www.yahoo.com</Aps:LocatorUrl>
        </Aps:Sheets>
     </Aps:Drawing>
  </Aps:AsDesigned>
</Aps:PartStructure>
<Aps:PartStructure>
  <Aps:Name>assembly 2</Aps:Name>
  <Aps:PartNumber>2</Aps:PartNumber>
  <Aps:TopAssemblyName>pre assembly</Aps:TopAssemblyName>
  <Aps:AsDesigned>
     <Aps:Drawing>
        <Aps:Name>drawing assembly 2</Aps:Name>
        <Aps:DocumentId>315</Aps:DocumentId>
        <Aps:Sheets>
           <Aps:LocatorUrl>http://www.yahoo.com</Aps:LocatorUrl>
        </Aps:Sheets>
     </Aps:Drawing>
  </Aps:AsDesigned>
</Aps:PartStructure>
</Aps:VpmResultSet>

Here's my XSL:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
   xmlns:Aps="http://www.assist.com/"
   xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"
   exclude-result-prefixes="Aps">
  <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
  <xsl:param name="Name" select="."/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:for-each select="Aps:VpmResultSet/Aps:PartStructure">
      <xsl:for-each select="xalan:evaluate($Name)">
      <tr>
          <td><xsl:value-of
select="ancestor::Aps:VpmResultSet/Aps:PartStructure/Aps:Name"/></td>
         <td><xsl:value-of
select="ancestor::Aps:VpmResultSet/Aps:PartStructure/Aps:TopAssemblyName"/></td>

          <td><xsl:value-of
select="ancestor::Aps:VpmResultSet/Aps:PartStructure/Aps:PartNumber"/></td>

        <td><xsl:value-of select="Aps:DocumentId"/></td>
        <td><a><xsl:attribute name="href">
            <xsl:value-of select="Aps:Sheets/Aps:LocatorUrl"/>
            </xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of select="Aps:Name"/>
            </a>
        </td>
      </tr>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I'm getting (I've ignored the href part for now):
<tr>
<td>assembly 1</td>     <td>pre assembly</td>    <td>1</td>
<td>314-1</td>    <td>drawing assembly 1-1</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>assembly 1</td>     <td>pre assembly</td>    <td>1</td>
<td>314-2</td>    <td>drawing assembly 1-2</td> </tr>
<tr>
<td>assembly 1</td>     <td>pre assembly</td>    <td>1</td>
<td>315</td>    <td>drawing assembly 2</td></tr>

but what I want is:
<tr>
<td>assembly 1</td>     <td>pre assembly</td>    <td>1</td>
<td>314</td>    <td>drawing assembly 1</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>assembly 1</td>     <td>pre assembly</td>    <td>1</td>
<td>314-2</td>    <td>drawing assembly 1-2</td> </tr>
<tr>
<td>assembly 2</td>     <td>pre assembly</td>    <td>2</td>
<td>315</td>    <td>drawing assembly 2</td></tr>

The xalan:evaluate() is sent in from a setParameter("Name", param) and
seems to be working correctly.
In this case param would be Aps:AsDesigned/Aps:Drawing, however I've
just shown a section of the
true XML.  This param could be at different levels although the children
will look the same.

The xalan:evaluate section seems to work, it's just that I also need the
ancestor information in the
table and that doesn't seem to be doing what I thought it would.

Could someone please tell me why this doesn't work and how I should go
about fixing it?

Thanks!

Amy
