Subject: [xsl] Correct use of Parameters? From: "Lopez, William" <william.lopez@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2002 15:32:35 -0500 |
Hello all: I'm using 2 parameters (probably could have used xsl:variables...) to store values that are referenced more than once while performing XSLT. My question is: Is this more efficient (better practice) than walking the nodes each time? I've included the xml and the pertinent xsl statements. Thanks, -Will ************** XML *********************************** <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="../xsl/routecodemaintlookup.xsl" ?> <RouteCodeMaintLookup servletPath="test"> <SearchCriteria businessEntityName="LIBERTY MUTUAL" routeCode="RC1" userID="xzs3h2"/> <RouteCodeList listComplete="N" numberOfItems="1"> <RouteCodeItem lineNumber="1" objectID="0:0:0:1" routeCodeID="RC1" routeCodeDescription="RC1 Description XXXX"> <Team objectID="0:0:0:2" teamID="TM1" teamName="Team1"> <BusinessUnit objectID="0:0:0:3" businessUnitID="BU1" businessUnitName="Biz Unit 1"> </BusinessUnit> </Team> </RouteCodeItem> </RouteCodeList> </RouteCodeMaintLookup> ******************** XSL ************************************ [snip] <?xml version='1.0'?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.1"> <xsl:param name="userID" select="/RouteCodeMaintLookup/SearchCriteria/@userID"/> <xsl:param name="businessEntityName" select="/RouteCodeMaintLookup/SearchCriteria/@businessEntityName"/> <xsl:output method="html" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" /> [snip] <xsl:template match="/"> . . </ <xsl:template match="RouteCodeMaintLookup"> . . </ <xsl:template match="SearchCriteria"> . . <TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" ALIGN="LEFT"> <FONT SIZE="2"> <NOBR> <xsl:value-of select="$businessEntityName"/> </NOBR> </FONT> </TD> . . <INPUT ID="BusinessEntity" TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="hfBusinessEntity"> <xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of select="$businessEntityName"/></xsl:attribute> . . <INPUT ID="userID" TYPE="TEXT" NAME="txtUserID" SIZE="8" MAXLENGTH="8" TABINDEX="1"> <xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of select="$userID"/></xsl:attribute> </INPUT> One more thing...Is there a better way to write this? <xsl:value-of select="/RouteCodeMaintLookup/RouteCodeList/RouteCodeItem/Team/BusinessUnit/ @businessUnitName"/> Looking at the XML, all the BusinessUnit info is in the next node- what I mean by better is shorter...a more compact version.
