Re: xsl transormation from flat tree to hierarchical t

Hi Andreas,
    May I propose a solution, which may be a start.

I guess, your area of interest for transformation is following XML
fragment (which is the only place, where I can see the "parent"
attribute),

<states>
    <state name="root" type="CompoundState"/>
    <state name="a" type="SimpleState" parent="root"/>
    <state name="choose" type="DecisionState" parent="root"/>
    <state name="b" type="SimpleState" parent="root"/>
    <state name="c" type="SimpleState" parent="root"/>
</states>

So here's my proposal for this transformation,

<!-- starting point -->
<xsl:call-template name="printStateTree">
     <xsl:with-param name="curState" select="state[not(@parent)]"/>
</xsl:call-template>

<xsl:template name="printStateTree">
     <xsl:param name="curState"/>

     <xsl:element name="{$curState/@name}"/>
          <xsl:for-each select="//state[@parent = $curState/@name]">
              <xsl:call-template name="printStateTree">
                  <xsl:with-param name="curState" select="."/>
              </xsl:call-template>
         </xsl:for-each>
     </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

This is not tested. The output format of this XSLT fragment is
unrelated to your actual output (and it is not optimized -- since it
has the expression //state, and output probably not normalized to be a
good tree format). This XSLT fragment only intends to demonstrate the
technique that I had in mind.

Just some food for thought :)
