Hi,

I have an XSD file that uses a xsd:union to allow the tag <term> to have
one of three different sequences.  In particular, <term> can be of any
of the following:

(1)     <term>
               <term>...</term>
               <_literal_>*</_literal_>
               <factor>...</factor>
       </term>


(2) <term> <term>...</term> <_literal_>/</_literal> <factor>...</factor> </term>


(3) <term> <factor>...</factor> </term>



My question is: when I write a templat for <term>, can I match against
the different sequences?  For example, I would like to write a
transform like:

       <xsl:template match="term">
       <xsl:choose>

               <xsl:when test="[ somehow test for form (1) ]">
                       (do stuff)
               </xsl:when>


<xsl:when test="[ somehow test for form (2) ]"> (do different stuff) </xsl:when>


<xsl:when test="[ somehow test for form (3) ]"> (do completely different stuff) </xsl:when>


<xsl:otherwise> (never get here, no other forms are allowed) </xsl:otherwise>

       </xsl:choose>
       </xsl:template>

I don't know what to put in the test="..." areas though. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jared

You can use test=" name(*[1])='term' " style conditions
Also possible (I think) test=" *[1]/self::term "
None are tested.

However, if there is no common treatment to all three forms, that you could factor outside the xsl:choose, I would suggest you to use three different templates. Something like:

<xsl:template match=" term[*[1]/self::term and *[2]/self::literal = '*' ] ">
