[xsl] Processing multiple input files and writing to one output

Subject: [xsl] Processing multiple input files and writing to one output

Hello,
I have a stylesheet that processes all xml documents in a specified directory.

My problem is a small one...

During the creation of this stylesheet I used Oxygen as my editor and
I was able to configure the application to output the results to a
file.

My question is how do I use properly use <xsl:result-document> to
output the results to a file so when I am not calling the
transformation from Oxygen, so a file gets produced?

I have tried to put the <xsl:result-document/> in a few places with
varying degrees of success. Rather than blindly trying all sorts of
silly permutations, I thought it would be wise to get the right answer
with an explanation as to how to use the result-document instruction.


My stylesheet is as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="2.0"
    xmlns:w="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml";
    xmlns:wx="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/auxHint";>

    <xsl:output  method="xml" indent="yes" />

    <xsl:variable name="xmlResultsDirectory"
select="document('file:///c:/sean/xsl/MSWordDocument/')"/>

    <!-- Main template-->
    <xsl:template
match="/w:wordDocument/w:body/wx:sect/wx:sub-section/w:tbl[w:tr/w:tc/w:p/w:r/w:t
= 'Test Case ID #']" >
        <xsl:result-document href="output2.xml" >
            <xsl:element name="testresults">
                <xsl:attribute name="testfile" >
                    <xsl:value-of select ="tokenize(document-uri(/),
'/')[last()]"/>
                </xsl:attribute>
                <xsl:for-each select="w:tr">
                    <xsl:choose>
                        <!-- Only process rows with a test case id.
They begin with TC- -->
                        <xsl:when test="w:tc/w:p/w:r[starts-with(w:t,'TC-')]">
                            <xsl:element name="TestCase">
                                <xsl:attribute name="TestID">
                                    <xsl:value-of select="w:tc[1]/w:p/w:r/w:t"/>
                                </xsl:attribute>
                                <xsl:attribute name="result">
                                    <xsl:value-of select="w:tc[6]/w:p/w:r/w:t"/>
                                </xsl:attribute>
                                <xsl:attribute name="DateExecuted">
                                    <xsl:value-of select="w:tc[5]/w:p/w:r/w:t"/>
                                </xsl:attribute>
                                <xsl:attribute name="CriticalIndicator">
                                    <xsl:value-of select="w:tc[7]/w:p/w:r/w:t"/>
                                </xsl:attribute>
                            </xsl:element>
                        </xsl:when>
                        <xsl:otherwise/>
                    </xsl:choose>
                </xsl:for-each>
            </xsl:element>
        </xsl:result-document>
    </xsl:template>


    <!-- Only copy what I am interested in-->
 <xsl:template match="@* | node()" >
     <xsl:copy>
         <!-- execute against all documents in the directory
$xmlResultsDirectory -->
         <xsl:for-each select="collection(concat($xmlResultsDirectory,
'?select=*.xml'))">
             <xsl:apply-templates
select="/w:wordDocument/w:body/wx:sect/wx:sub-section/w:tbl[w:tr/w:tc/w:p/w:r/w:t
= 'Test Case ID #']"/>
      </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I am using XSLT 2.0 - Saxon 8B as my processor

Any insight is greatly appreciated

Sean
