Re: can you select name() of attributes?

Ragulf,
Take a look at http://www.aspectxml.org which in a nutshell is a combination of
Aspect-Oriented Software Development and XML/XSLT. By taking an instance
document and comparing it to a definition document it then looks to a third
document to determine if an element or attribute should be woven before,
in-place of (around), or after an element or attribute defined in the
originating document. Think of it as a kind of "floating" schema that can adapt
to any particular situation and define the final output (and whether that final
output is valid) accordingly.
Best of luck!

Hi again David (and others),
The input and some of my problem should be in my earlier post "Matching
attributes in two documents", but I have tried rewriting it a little to
match this particular problem.
If some or all of this is not understandable, please tell me, and I will
try to elaborate.
Doc1.xml
<Input>
<I q="input value" s="Invalid attribute">Input</I>
</Input>
Doc2.xml
<A>
<B q="default" r="default">Text1</B>
</A>
Desired output:
<Output q="input value" r="default">Some text in the output
element</Output>
Output that I get:
<Output q="default" r="default">Some text in the output element</Output>
If the attribute exists in both Doc1 and Doc2, then I want the value of
Doc1 (input value). If it exists only in Doc1, then it should be ignored
(invalid attribute), and if only in Doc2, then I want the value of Doc2
(default)
XSL snippets (for the non-desired output):
<!-- Global variables -->
<xsl:variable name="Doc1" select="document('Doc1.xml')/Input/I"/>
<xsl:variable name="Doc2" select="document('Doc2.xml')/A/B"/>
<!-- Template for processing -->
<xsl:template name="MakeOutput">
<xsl:variable name="Attr1" select="$Doc1/@*"/>
<xsl:variable name="Attr2" select="$Doc2/@*"/>
<Output>
<xsl:for-each select="$Attr2">
<xsl:variable name="Attr" select="."/>
<xsl:if test="not($Attr1)">
<xsl:attribute name="{name($Attr)}"><xsl:value-of
select="$Attr"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:for-each select="$Attr1[name()=name($Attr)]">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="name()=name($Attr)">
<xsl:attribute name="{name(.)}"><xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:attribute name="{name($Attr)}"><xsl:value-of
select="$Attr"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
Some text in the output element
</Output>
</xsl:template>
Regards,
Ragulf Pickaxe :-)
