Re: [xsl] Issue with repetition of elements in the input XML

[lakshmi mrudula <mrudula_lakshmi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks for your solution.
But with XSL logic below, 
If input XML is as shown below:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
	<ReservationControlInformationSegment>
		<CompanyId>AAH</CompanyId>
	
<ReservationControlNumber>ABC12345</ReservationControlNumber>
		<ReservationControlType>A</ReservationControlType>
		<FirstDate>11OCT2007</FirstDate>
		<Time>1230</Time>
		<CompanyId>AAA</CompanyId>
		
		<ReservationControlType>B</ReservationControlType>
		<FirstDate>11OCT2007</FirstDate>
		<Time>1130</Time>
	</ReservationControlInformationSegment>
</root>

Then Expected output will be:

<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<root>
  <RCI>
    <RCI01>
      <RCI0101>AAH</RCI0101>
      <RCI0102>ABC12345</RCI0102>
      <RCI0103>A</RCI0103>
      <RCI0104>11OCT2007</RCI0104>
      <RCI0105>1230</RCI0105>
    </RCI01>
    <RCI02>
      <RCI0201>AAA</RCI0201>
      <RCI0202/>
      <RCI0203>B</RCI0203>
      <RCI0204>11OCT2007</RCI0204>
      <RCI0205>1130</RCI0205>
    </RCI02>
  </RCI>
</root>

But the actual output is coming with the given XSL as
below:

<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<root>
  <RCI>
    <RCI01>
      <RCI0101>AAH</RCI0101>
      <RCI0102>ABC12345</RCI0102>
      <RCI0103>A</RCI0103>
      <RCI0104>11OCT2007</RCI0104>
      <RCI0105>1230</RCI0105>
    </RCI01>
    <RCI02>
      <RCI0201>AAA</RCI0201>
      <RCI0202>B</RCI0202>
      <RCI0203>11OCT2007</RCI0203>
      <RCI0204>1130</RCI0204>
    </RCI02>
  </RCI>
</root>


Our requirement for the output is:

 If any information is missing in the middle then
empty
 tag should be there.
 But if it is missing at the end, then empty tags need
 not be there in the output.

 In input XML, elements will be in the same order.
None
 of the elements are mandatory.
 Any of the elements can be missed in the input XML.
 
 For this requirement we need solution.
