Re: Problem with Sum function

Well, the scenario is a little complicated. I have a stylesheet A with
an xml file A. Now, inside stylesheets A, I am displaying some
elements from an external XML file B, based on some values in
stylesheet A.

Eg:
XML A:

<root>
		<nodes>
			<node>
				<node--num>123</node-num>
				<child-nodes>
					<child-node-num>456</child-node-num>
	<child-node-num>789</child-node-num>


				</child-nodes>
			</node>
			</nodes>
			</root>

Now, my external xml file B has some additional values based on the
node-num and child-node-num from XML file A.

Eg: XML B would be like this:

<Bnode>
     <Bnode-num>123</Bnode-num>
             <Bchild-nodes1>
                      <Bchild-node1>
                                 <Bchild-node-num>456</Bchild-node-num>
                                  <Bchild-node-value>22</Bchild-node-value>
                      <Bchild-node1>
                        <Bchild-node1>
                                 <Bchild-node-num>789</Bchild-node-num>
                                  <Bchild-node-value>29</Bchild-node-value>
                      <Bchild-node1>

             </Bchildnodes1>

</Bnode>

Here is what I am doing in my stylesheet A. Now, I have some external
server calls made to match the node-num and child-node-num from XML A
with the correspondng values on XML B and display the
sum(Bchild-node-value).

	<xsl:template name="Bnode">
		<xsl:param name="mode"/>
		<xsl:for-each select="/root/nodes/node[child-nodes]">
			<xsl:variable name="node-num">
				<xsl:value-of select="node-num"/>
			</xsl:variable>
			<xsl:for-each select="./child-nodes/child-node-num">
				<xsl:variable name="child-node-num">
					<xsl:value-of select="."/>
				</xsl:variable>
				<xsl:apply-templates select="<!--This is servercall-->">
							<!--					</xsl:for-each>
		</xsl:for-each>
			</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="Bchild-node1">

		<xsl:value-of select="sum(Bchild-node-value)"/>

	</xsl:template>

Hope this is clear. Please let me know if there is any solution.

Thank you for all your help.
