Subject: RE: [xsl] problem matching attribute From: "Evan Lenz" <evan@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2004 16:10:34 -0800 |
Hi Ann Marie, The problem is that your template rule does not copy the <user> element. It only tries to add an attribute. I suspect that the XSLT processor is falling back from an error. It's an error to try to add an attribute to an element after any child nodes have been added. (In this case, the whitespace-only text node before each <user> element has been added.) If you first stripped the whitespace from the source tree, you'd find that the "name" attribute would get added to the <security-role-mapping> element instead. You could fix your template rule by wrapping <xsl:copy> around <xsl:attribute>. But a better, more flexible approach would be to match the attribute node itself rather than the <user> element: <xsl:template match="user/@name"> <xsl:attribute name="{@name}">foo</xsl:attribute> </xsl:template> I'm of course assuming that you have the identity transformation template rule in your stylesheet which looks like this: <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> Hope this helps, Evan > -----Original Message----- > From: Ann Marie Rubin [mailto:Annmarie.Rubin@xxxxxxx] > Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 3:42 PM > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [xsl] problem matching attribute > > > Hello List, > > If I have xml such as the this: > > <namespace-access> > <read-access> > <namespace-resource root=""> > <security-role-mapping > name="consoleadmins" > > <user name="iasadmin"/> > <user name="guestadmin"/> > <group name="admins" /> > <group name= "special" /> > </security-role-mapping> > </namespace-resource> > </read-access> > <write-access> > <namespace-resource root=""> > <security-role-mapping> > <group > name="jazn.com/administrators"/> > </security-role-mapping> > </namespace-resource> > </write-access> > </namespace-access> > > I want to update 'name="guestadmin"' to 'name="foo"' > undre the "consoleadmins" role? > > I tried this: > > <xsl:template > match="read-access/namespace-resource/security-role-mapping/user"> > <xsl:attribute name="{name()}"> > <xsl:value-of select="'foo'"/> > </xsl:attribute> > > > but got this result: > > read-access> > <namespace-resource root=""> > <security-role-mapping name=""> > > > <group name=""/> > <group name=""/> > </security-role-mapping> > </namespace-resource> > </read-access> > > I seem to be matching the wrong node and replacing it with > blank lines. > > Ann Marie
