Subject: [xsl] How do I locate the parent of this node? From: steve.l.lake@xxxxxx Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2002 16:34:04 +0100 |
Help, please! For the XML data structure below I'm trying to use a recursive template to piece together the 'path' of each XMLDataItem element. Thus for the XMLDataItem whose @Name is 'POIssuedDate' I want the template to return the path as '/bat:Batch/PurchaseOrder/OrderHeader' To do this I need an XPath statement inside the template to locate the parent node of the current node. I've been using... //XMLDataItem[child::XMLDataItem/@Name=$currentNode/@Name] (where $currentNode is the parameter passed into the template). However, it's not finding that parent node - actually, in this instance it's not finding anything. Any suggestions? <XMLData> <XMLDataItem DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="bat:Batch"> <XMLDataItem DataItemType="Attribute" Name="BatchID" Description="Unique identifier for the batch file" Source="Customer" MandatoryOptional="M" Format="Aplhanumeric(20)" ValidationNotes="Must only include characters valid for use in Windows file names (reserved characters, such as : are invalid)"> </XMLDataItem> <XMLDataItem DataItemType="Attribute" Name="NoOfEntries" Description="The number of purchase orders in the batch file" Source="Customer" MandatoryOptional="M" Format="Numeric" ValidationNotes="This must match the number of orders within the batch file"> </XMLDataItem> <XMLDataItem> DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="PurchaseOrder" <XMLDataItem> DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="OrderHeader" <XMLDataItem DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="POIssuedDate" Description="Date/time of creation of the order by the service provider" Source="Customer" MandatoryOptional="M" Format="ccyymmddThh:mm:ss" ValidationNotes="Must be a valid date/time"> </XMLDataItem> <XMLDataItem DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="RequestedDeliveryDate" Description="Date/time by which the order is required by the service provider" Source="Customer" MandatoryOptional="M" Format="ccyymmddThh:mm:ss" ValidationNotes="Must be a valid date/time, recommended to be at least 7 days from submission; cannot be date in the past. This date/time is repeated later in the order and both occurrences must be the same."> </XMLDataItem> <XMLDataItem> DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="OrderReference" <XMLDataItem> DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="AccountCode" <XMLDataItem> DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="Reference" <XMLDataItem DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="RefNum" Description="Billing account reference" Source="Customer" MandatoryOptional="M" Format="Alphanumeric(20)" ValidationNotes="This must match the value supplied on registration"> </XMLDataItem> </XMLDataItem> </XMLDataItem> <XMLDataItem> DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="BuyerRefNum" <XMLDataItem> DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="Reference" <XMLDataItem DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="RefNum" Description="The unique identifier number for the end user order" Source="Customer" CustomerMandatoryOptional="M" Format="Alphanumeric(20)" ValidationNotes=""> </XMLDataItem> </XMLDataItem> </XMLDataItem> </XMLDataItem> </XMLDataItem> </XMLDataItem> </XMLDataItem> </XMLData> Steve Lake XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
