Subject: [xsl] Effecient element "filtering" technique recommendations. From: "Edward L. Knoll" <ed.knoll@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 07 Oct 2002 08:15:41 -0600 |
We have some XML which effectively represents the contents of a table. Each row from the table is an element; each column in a row is a subelement within the row. The XML we generate for the table could contain more columns than we actually want to process/display. I have another element which identifies all of the columns to be processed/displayed. The subelements of this element have the same names as the row columns. I'm looking for recommendations on ways in which we can only process the row columns which correspond to the other columns. My current approach is adding approximately 40% onto our total XSL processing time. I've included XML examples and (simplified versions) of the templates with and without the filtering. XML:: <Table> <Columns> <Column1/> <Column2/> <Column4/> </Columns> <Row> <Column1>...</Column1> <Column2>...</Column2> <Column3>...</Column3> <Column4>...</Column4> <Column5>...</Column5> </Row> <Row> <Column1>...</Column1> <Column2>...</Column2> <Column3>...</Column3> <Column4>...</Column4> <Column5>...</Column5> </Row> ... </Table> XSL (fragments) w/o filtering:: <xsl:variable name="TableColumns" select="/Table/Columns/*" /> <xsl:template select="/Table/Row"> <xsl:apply-templates select="*" mode="ColumnContent" /> </xsl:template> XSL (fragments) w/ filtering:: <xsl:variable name="TableColumns" select="/Table/Columns/*" /> <xsl:template select="/Table/Row"> <xsl:for-each select="*"> <xsl:variable name="MyName" select="name()" /> <xsl:if test="$TableColumns[name()=$MyName]" > <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="ColumnContent" /> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> Thanks in advance, Ed Knoll -- Edward L.
