Subject: Re: [xsl] Modify Value of a Parameter Globally Within a Template From: Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:45:04 +0000 |
Hi Michael,
Yes so the input is information that I get from an HTTP request. This information consists of a descriptor that tells whether our query for the website was a match for the information on the website. It also consists of information from the website. I then need to process the information based on the descriptor. However, sometimes the descriptor is incorrect. So I first want to call another template to check whether or not the descriptor is correct based on the information and change it if it is incorrect, since it affects processing later on. At output, I generate a comment based on the descriptor as well as the website information post-processing.
<xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:sequence select="f:doTheWork(., $correctedDescriptor)"/> </xsl:template>

So for example: Our query Brand: Haagen Daaz Flavor: Chocolate Price: $5.99
Website return: Descriptor: Found Brand: Haagen Dazs Price: $5.99
The descriptor should say "Similar Found." So then I would check whether or not the brand names are exactly the same, and, if not, I would change the descriptor.
So then instead of outputting (incorrectly): Descriptor: Found Comment: Exact match Brand: Haagen Daaz Price: $5.99
The correct output would be: Descriptor: Similar Found Comment: Error in brand name Brand: Haagen Dazs Price: $5.99
Thanks! Lisa

Is there a specific way to change the value of a parameter within a call to another template and then use the resulting value for tests in the original template? Or just change the value of a parameter within a template that then reflects globally? I've included some simple, example code on what I would like to do.
If you can step up a couple of levels and describe the problem (that is, the input and output of the transformation and their relationship to each other) then we can try and find the right approach for you.
