Subject: [xsl] help needed with identity tranformation From: ericmutoniwabo@xxxxxxxxxxx Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2008 09:04:12 +0000 |
Hi, Can some one help me with identity transformation? I have an XML file that I want to change few element values using identity transformation and keeping the rest of the document unchanged. here are samples of my xml and the xslt's fruits.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <fruit> <orange> <price>$2</price> <color>yellow</color> </orange> <apple> <price>$1</price> <color>red</color> </apple> </fruit> identity.xslt <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- The Identity Transformation --> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="node()|@*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> If I wanted to change for example the price of orange to $4 and maintain the rest of the xml unchanged, how would I do that? I want to change the "price" of "orange" to $4 for example. My logic is that I would insert an element "price" with value $4. I tried the xslt below without much success. transform.xslt <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <!-- Import the identity transformation. --> <xsl:import href="identity.xslt"/> <xsl:template match="fruit/orange/price"> <xsl:element name="{name()}"><xsl:value-of select="$4"/></xsl:element> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> I am using saxon as processor. when I apply "transform.xslt" against "fruit.xml", the value of "fruit/orange/price" is not changing. I can't seem to match the element that I want to change the value of. Anyone sees what I am doing wrong? Thanks, Eric.
