Re: Get and change element attributes

Hi Mark,
 To my best understanding, I have assumed the
following XMLs (the real XML files must be
conceptually similar..)--

source.xml
----------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
   <div    id='1' Tag='aaa'>
   </div>
   <div     id='2' Tag='bbb'>
   </div>
   <div     id='3' Tag='ccc'>
   </div>
   <div     id='4' Tag='ddd'>
   </div>
   <div     id='5' Tag='eee'>
   </div>
   <div     id='6' Tag='fff'>
   </div>
</root>

Templates.xml
-------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Templates>
    <div    id='1' Tag='stuff1'>
    </div>
    <div     id='2' Tag='stuff2'>
    </div>
    <div     id='3' Tag='stuff3'>
    </div>
    <div     id='4' Tag='stuff4'>
    </div>
    <div     id='5' Tag='stuff5'>
    </div>
    <div     id='6' Tag='stuff6'>
    </div>
</Templates>

You wish to apply a XSL to source.xml , and change the
attribute name 'Tag' to value of 'Tag' attribute in
Templates.xml file, and copy rest of XML contents to
output as it is..

Below is the complete XSL for this transformation --

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:variable name="Templates"
select="document('Templates.xml')"/>
	
    <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
	<xsl:copy>
	  <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
	</xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
	
    <xsl:template match="div">
	<xsl:variable name="attr" select="@id"/>
	<xsl:variable name="attrval" select="@Tag"/>
	   <xsl:variable name="newattr"
select="$Templates/Templates/div[@id =$attr]/@Tag"/>
	   <xsl:element name="div">
	     <xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of
select="@id"/>
             </xsl:attribute>
	     <xsl:attribute name="{$newattr}">
		<xsl:value-of select="$attrval" />
	     </xsl:attribute>
	   </xsl:element>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Mukul
