Stumped Transforming DSML Data With XSLT`

[awilliam@whitemice.org]

I'm using the BIE workflow engine and after querying an LDAP DSA I need
to transform the XML response, which looks like -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<batchRespons e xmlns="urn:oasi s:names:tc:DSML :2:0:core"
xmlns:xsd="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<searchRespon se requestID="9">
<searchResultEn try dn="cn=Larry Simmons,ou=Peop le,o=Morrison
Industries,c=US " requestID="9">
attr name="morrisons erialid">
<value>1015</value>
</attr>
<attr name="birthDate ">
<value>02/17/1948</value>
</attr>
<attr name="cn">
<value>Larry Simmons</value>
</attr>
<attr name="employeeN umber">
<value>KZO004 </value>
</attr>
</searchResultEnt ry>
.....
<searchResultDo ne requestID="9">
<resultCode code="0" descr="Success" />
</searchResultDon e>
</searchResponse>
</batchResponse>

Into something like -
<result>
<row>
<cn>...</cn>
<birthdate>.. .</birthdate>
....
</row>
....
</result>

So I have an xslt like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:styleshe et version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<result>
<xsl:for-each
select="batchRe sponse/searchResponse/searchResultEnt ry">
<xsl:sort select="morriso nserialid"/>
<row>
<cn><xsl:valu e-of select="attr[@name='cn']/value"/></cn>
<birthdate><xsl :value-of
select="attr[@name='birthday ']/value"/></birthdate>
<morrisonserial id><xsl:value-of
select="attr[@name='morrison serialid']/value"/></morrisonseriali d>
<fileAs><xsl:va lue-of
select="attr[@name='fileAs']/value"/></fileAs>
<startDate><xsl :value-of
select="attr[@name='morrison positionstartda te']/value"/></startDate>
</row>
</xsl:for-each>
</result>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Only when I -
xsltproc /var/spool/bie/xslt/dsaEmployeeExpo rt.2.xslt /tmp/ldapData.xml
- all I get is -
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<result/>

Huh?

Hi,

It is a namespacing issue.
Include the namespace of the XML document in the XSLT
e.g.
<xsl:styleshe et xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" exclude-result-prefixes="in" xmlns:in="urn:o asis:names:tc:D SML:2:0:core">

<xsl:template match="/">
<result>
<xsl:for-each
select="in:batc hResponse/in:searchRespon se/in:searchResult Entry">
<xsl:sort select="in:morr isonserialid"/>
<row>
<cn><xsl:valu e-of select="in:attr[@name='cn']/in:value"/></cn>
<birthdate><xsl :value-of
select="in:attr[@name='birthday ']/in:value"/></birthdate>
<morrisonserial id><xsl:value-of
select="in:attr[@name='morrison serialid']/in:value"/></morrisonseriali d>
<fileAs><xsl:va lue-of
select="in:attr[@name='fileAs']/in:value"/></fileAs>
<startDate><xsl :value-of
select="in:attr[@name='morrison positionstartda te']/in:value"/></startDate>
</row>
</xsl:for-each>
</result>
</xsl:template>

Re: Stumped Transforming DSML Data With XSLT`


this is a FAQ,

<batchRespons e xmlns="urn:oasi s:names:tc:DSML :2:0:core"

an element with name consisting of local name batchResponse and
Namespace URI urn:....


<xsl:for-each
select="batchRe sponse/searchResponse/searchResultEnt ry">

this is selecting batchResponse and searchResponse in no-namespace.
which selects nothing in your document.

add

xmlns:D="urn:oa sis:names:tc:DS ML:2:0:core"
to xsl:stylesheet then use

<xsl:for-each
select="D:batch Response/D:searchRespons e/D:searchResultE ntry">

and similarly prefix all other references to this namespace.
