[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Copying parent nodes with different selection of their
 This should be a really easy thing to do, I'm sure, but I'm having a blank spot today when it comes to XSLT, it seems. Perhaps some imperative twist in my mind stops me from writing down a straight solution (or I just never encountered the problem before, but I couldn't find it in my own archive). Basically, I have the solution, but it is so awkward that I am sure that "there is a better way", esp. with XSLT. Take the dataset (see variable $copy-me in the XSLT sample) and consider a copy of the Document node for each Make-Toute-Seul-X node, without the other Make-Toute-Seul-X nodes. The result of the transformation is this (see the similar data, with changing Make-Toute-Seul-X elements): (The original data is a SOAP envelope, and the envelope needs to be copied a couple of times for each occurrence of some node, which triggers a document in 'real' life) OUTPUT:
<Header>
<Meta/>
</Header>
<Body>
<Document>
<Preceding-1/>
<Preceding-2/>
<Make-Toute-Seul-1/>
<Following-1/>
<Following-2/>
</Document>
<Document>
<Preceding-1/>
<Preceding-2/>
<Make-Toute-Seul-2/>
<Following-1/>
<Following-2/>
</Document>
<Document>
<Preceding-1/>
<Preceding-2/>
<Make-Toute-Seul-3/>
<Following-1/>
<Following-2/>
</Document>
</Body>The XSLT looks like this and can be run on itself (I had other incarnations, equally bad, anybody with a nicer solution that feels more like 'XSLT'?). I'd like to move the duplicated logic about the nodes Make-Toute-Seul-X to a single location, to make maintenance a breeze. <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0"> <xsl:output indent="yes" /> <xsl:variable name="copy-me"> <Header> <Meta /> </Header> <Body> <Document> <Preceding-1 /> <Preceding-2 /> <Make-Toute-Seul-1 /> <Make-Toute-Seul-2 /> <Make-Toute-Seul-3 /> <Following-1 /> <Following-2 /> </Document> </Body> </xsl:variable> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="$copy-me/*"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="Body"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="*[Make-Toute-Seul-1]" > <xsl:with-param name="seul" select="*/Make-Toute-Seul-1" tunnel="yes" /> </xsl:apply-templates> <xsl:apply-templates select="*[Make-Toute-Seul-2]" > <xsl:with-param name="seul" select="*/Make-Toute-Seul-2" tunnel="yes" /> </xsl:apply-templates> <xsl:apply-templates select="*[Make-Toute-Seul-3]" > <xsl:with-param name="seul" select="*/Make-Toute-Seul-3" tunnel="yes" /> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="Document"> <xsl:param name="seul" tunnel="yes"/> <xsl:copy> <xsl:copy-of select="$seul/preceding-sibling::*[not(self::Make-Toute-Seul-1 | self::Make-Toute-Seul-2 | self::Make-Toute-Seul-3)]" /> <xsl:copy-of select="$seul" /> <xsl:copy-of select="$seul/following-sibling::*[not(self::Make-Toute-Seul-1 | self::Make-Toute-Seul-2 | self::Make-Toute-Seul-3)]" /> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="* | @*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*" /> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Thanks for any help, Cheers, Abel
