Subject: Re: [xsl] Variable in XPath From: "Dimitre Novatchev" <dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2007 08:49:54 -0700 |
Assuming that there is a value that cannot be used as a legitimate value for the "id" attribute, define the $pId xsl:param to have this value.
doc('factbase.xml')/facts/class/@id = $pId or doc('factbase.xml')/facts/class[$pId = 'notId']
If it the class of possible values is known in advance, define the $pId param to any value outside this class. For example, if the possible values can only be numbers,
doc('factbase.xml')/facts/class/@id = $pId or doc('factbase.xml')/facts/class[not(number($pId) = number($pId))]

Hello,
I hope that anyone can help me with the following. I want to write a stylesheet that is used to check if an element (class) with a special ID which is given as variable from the commandline exists in the source or not. If no variable is supplied I want to test if there are "class" nodes at all. Of course it's no problem to check if a node with a special ID exists or not. But what do I use as default value of the variable so that all "class" nodes are selected if no variable is supplied.
(not working) example: XML: <facts> <class id="2" owner="1" name="A"/> <class id="3" owner="1" name="B"/> <facts>
XSLT:
<xsl:variable name="id" select="attribute::*"/>
<xsl:template match="//condition/and-condition"> [...] <xsl:when test="doc('factbase.xml')/facts/class[@id eq $id]"> [...]
The test should be true if $id is set to "2" or "3" and if $id is not set at all. So, the key is the comparison "@id eq $id" and the default value of $id. "attribute::*" as default value is obviously wrong. Which default value do I have to use to test if class nodes exist at all?
regards, Garvin
