Re: [xsl] how to workaround restriction of overloading functions

[Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is what xsl:apply-templates is for.

<xsl:function name="znapz:getURI" as="xs:anyURI">
  <xsl:param name="element" as="element()"/>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="$element" mode="getURI"/>
</xsl:function>


<xsl:template match="maximo:SCRIPTLAUNCHPOINT" as="xs:anyURI" mode="getURI">
  <xsl:sequence
    select="{concat($destinationFolder, '/'SCRIPTLAUNCHPOINT/', ./maximo:AUTOSCRIPT, '.xml')}"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:function match="maximo:SECURITYRESTRICT" as="xs:anyURI" mode="getURI">
  <xsl:sequence
     select="{concat($destinationFolder, '/SECURITYRESTRICT/', ./maximo:APP, '.xml')}"/>
</xsl:function>


etc.

The only option that comes to mind is to autogenerate 1 crazy big function which does typechecking on the parameter in a choose construction and returns elemenet.  Just double checking if there is a better way.
