Thanks, Michael. The "complete" attribute signifies whether all required descendent nodes are present or not. For a leaf node I assume that if it is present complete="true" and if it is absent complete="false". Hence f has complete="false". I agree it is redundant for the data elements c,d,h and i to have complete="true" but I need the attribute to be present to that I can style the tree in HTML. As far as the ancestors go, b is complete because all its descendants are complete, while e and a are incomplete because some of their descendants are incomplete.

XSLT is certainly suited to the problem. However, I can't reverse engineer your requirements from your example. The following stylesheet comes close, and there are various ways I could refine it to produce your required output, but I'd be using guesswork as to what the requirements are, so it would be better if you do that yourself! In particular I can't see why you consider b to be complete while f is incomplete, and since all the data elements say complete="true", it's hard to see what role that attribute plays in the calculation. I used your tree as the principal input, and wrapped the other nodes in a <data> element and called it data.xml. The stylesheet is: <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output indent="yes"/> <xsl:variable name="tree" select="/"/> <xsl:variable name="data" select="doc('data.xml')/data"/> <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:attribute name="complete" select="every $n in descendant::* satisfies exists($data/*[name() = name($n)])"/> <xsl:attribute name="result" select="every $n in descendant::* satisfies exists($data/*[name() = name($n) and @result='true']) "/> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Simon Shutter [mailto:simon@xxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 19 April 2007 21:02 > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Constructing a tree from leaf nodes (knowing > the tree structure)? > > This is probably a poorly posed question but essentially I am > trying to determine if XSLT is suited to the following problem. > > Say I have a node fragment that defines a tree structure in > which each element appears only once eg. > > <a> > <b> > <c/> > <d/> > </b> > <e> > <f/> > <g> > <h/> > <i/> > </g> > </e> > </a> > > I then have data for some of the leaf nodes ie. > > <c complete="true" result="true"/> > <d complete="true" result="false"/> > <h complete="true" result="true"/> > <i complete="true" result="true"/> > > In this example the leaf node </f> is missing. > > Is it possible to create a node fragment that mimics the tree > structure and sets ancestor attributes according to the > presence or absence of leaf nodes and their attributes? > > The desired output would be: > > <a complete="false" result="false"> > <b complete="true" result="false"> > <c complete="true" result="true"/> > <d complete="true" result="false"/> > </b> > <e complete="false" result="true"> > <f complete="false" result=""/> > <g complete="true" result="true"/> > <h complete="true" result="true"/> > <i complete="true" result="true"/> > </g> > </e> > </a>
