Sanjeev,

You can do it using XPath by brute force, like you are trying. But really this kind of thing is what keys are designed for.

Declare keys for the nodes you want to get back. For example, get the @type attributes on <conversion> elements, like so:

<xsl:key name="conversion-type" match="conversion/@type" use="../@name"/>

This sets up the name on the same conversion element as a key to get back each conversion @type node.

Then for an <element> element, you can say

<xsl:value-of select="key('conversion-type', @convert)"/>

I hope that helps,
Wendell

Hi,

I have the following XML snippet from a JAXB schema-

<xml-java-binding-schema version="1.0-ea">
  <element name="CreateCaseView" type="class" root="true"/>
    <element name="partyId" type="value" convert="String"/>
    <element name="stateDateTime" type="value"
convert="GregorianCalendar"/>
  <conversion name="String" type="java.lang.String"/>
  <conversion name="GregorianCalendar"
type="java.util.GregorianCalendar"/>
</xml-java-binding-schema>

I am trying to generate the .java file from this XML using XSL. The
point where I am stumped is mapping the convert attribute of <element>
to the name attribute of <conversion> so that I canget a line like the
following -

private hava.util.GregorianCalendar _stateDateTime;

I am using something like the following code which is not working -

    <xsl:for-each
select="element[@type='value'][./@convert=../conversion/@name]">
        <xsl:text>    private  </xsl:text>
            <xsl:value-of
select="../conversion[./@convert=../conversion/@name]/@type" />
            <xsl:value-of select="./@name" />

        <xsl:call-template name="newline"/>
    </xsl:for-each>


Please help.


Rgds,
sanjeev pai
