XSLT code

[paul_0403@yahoo.com]

I have the following XML file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CentralServerR equest>
<RequestInfo>
<ResponseFile Mode="Overwrite "></ResponseFile>
<StatusFile></StatusFile>
</RequestInfo>
</CentralServerRe quest>

I tried the following xslt code but can't seem to get it working.

response_file=e :/tmp/response.xml
status_file=d:/tmp/status.xml

<xsl:template match="StatusFi le[. = '' ">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:value-of select="$status _file"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template


Can somebody show me how to insert values associated with a variable
into the XML so the output will look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CentralServerR equest>
<RequestInfo>
<ResponseFile Mode="Overwrite ">e:/tmp/response.xml</
ResponseFile>
<StatusFile>d :/tmp/status.xml</StatusFile>
</RequestInfo>
</CentralServerRe quest>


Thanks in advance to all who answer

Re: XSLT code

In general, to "insert something into" or "remove something from" an XML
document using XSLT:

Start with the identity transformation. (See the XSLT Recommendation or
any good XSLT tutorial). That handles copying everything that should
pass through unchanged.

Then add a template which recognizes the place where you want to do
something different, and give it a body that Does The Right Thing at
that point.

Thanks for your response. I was sort of hoping you can tell me what I
was doing wrong in my example or maybe give me a similar working
example

Here is a sample stylesheet that uses the identity transformation
template and two templates to modify the ResponseFile and StatusFile
elements:

<xsl:styleshe et
xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<xsl:param name="response_ file" select="'e:/tmp/response.xml'"/>
<xsl:param name="status_fi le" select="'d:/tmp/status.xml'"/>

<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Response File[not(node())]">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:value-of select="$respon se_file"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="StatusFi le[not(node())]">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:value-of select="$status _file"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Martin,

The example for Statusfile works but the example for the ResponseFile
does not work.

Note the elments are a bit different since there is an attrtibute
"Mode" in the ResponseFile element
as there is no attribute in the StatusFile element.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CentralServerR equest>
<RequestInfo>
<ResponseFile Mode="Overwrite "></ResponseFile>
<StatusFile></StatusFile>
</RequestInfo>
</CentralServerRe quest>


Based on that, I am assumming the XSLT code has to look a bit
different when doing the match? Is there some sytnax to specify the
atttibute name in the matc?. It would be okay with matching
"ResponseFi le Mode" and skipping the value "OverWrite" since my Mode
can have several different
values that I may want to ignore.

THanks in advance for all your help!!!

If you want to copy the attribute use

<xsl:template match="Response File[not(node())]">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$respon se_file"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

can have several different
values that I may want to ignore.

If you want to add the text if the Mode attribute exists then use

<xsl:template match="Response File[@Mode and not(node())]">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:value-of select="$respon se_file"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Depending on your needs you might also want to copy the attributes with
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
here.
