Thanks, That's exactly what I'm going to do. I could not reproduce your results using instant-saxon6_5_2 and XMLSpy. Both generate an empty xml with root element <project> Thanks, Faroukh -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of G.

Sounds like the easiest is possibly to create a separate transform for each mapping and then run the results successively through each. >Having said that >I did not know that it has an impact on the performance. Large files are generally not great for XSLT for any transform because of the need to have the entire source tree in memory. But, for your particular case of synthesizing stylesheets based on mapping files and then executing the synthesized stylesheets, I think XSLT will give you what you need. >My concern at this moment is whether XSLT is a proper approach to solve the >problem and if yes which patterns/techniques can be used to achieve that. Hopefully the example I wrote for you gives you an appropriate approach, as it illustrates all the steps you would need to go through. >I try to explain my second mapping file to see whether the technique >proposed by you can handle that one too. You will need to consider the kind of stylesheet you need and then write a stylesheet to accomplish that. That was how I approached your first issue. Don't jump in trying to write the synthesizing stylesheet until you know exactly what you need in your synthesized stylesheet. Write the end result you need by hand, and then write the stylesheet to create that from your mapping file. >My second mapping file defines the inter relationships of the traget >elements. >That looks like: Good luck with your stylesheet writing ... I think you have the direction in hand now to proceed on your own. ....................
