Re: [xsl] [xslt] not working transformation when function called

[Michalmas <michalmas@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I see that in example i put all templates for copy on top. In fact, i
had different structure and the calling the template i wanted was
working. Also, the XML i used is only part of big XML structure, and
that part is repeated many times.

To clear it up:
i have following code:
<xsl:template match="*">

<xsl:copy><xsl:copy-of select="@*"/><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:copy>

</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="move">
   <xsl:variable name="names" select=".//dataname" />
	<datatype><xsl:value-of select="local:getNodeType(/,$names)"/></datatype>
</xsl:template>


 <xsl:function name="local:getNodeType">
		   <xsl:param name="node" as="node()*"/>
		   <xsl:param name="searchValue" as="xs:string*"/>

       <xsl:choose>
           <xsl:when test="empty($searchValue)">
               <xsl:sequence select="$node/pic-value"/>
           </xsl:when>
           <xsl:otherwise>
               <xsl:sequence
select="local:getNodeType($node//data-declaration[name=$searchvalue[1]][1],
$searchValue[postion() != 1])"/>
           </xsl:otherwise>
       </xsl:choose>
 </xsl:function>

</xsl:stylesheet>


applied on that XML:
<someNodes>
(...)
     <move>
               <from>
                  <dataname>01</dataname>
                  <dataname>02</dataname>
               </from>
               <to>
                 <qualification>
                   <dataname>001</dataname>
                   <dataname>002</dataname>
                 </qualification>
               </to>
     </move>
(...)
</someNodes>


And i want to tranform it to:
<move>
              <from datatype='XXX'> <!-- VALUE RETURNED BY
local:getNodeType FUNTION -->
                 <dataname>01</dataname>
                 <dataname>02</dataname>
              </from>
              <to>
                <qualification datatype='ZZZ'> <!-- VALUE RETURNED BY
local:getNodeType FUNTION -->
                  <dataname>001</dataname>
                  <dataname>002</dataname>
                </qualification>
              </to>
 </move>


thanks!
