Subject: Re: [xsl] How do I locate the parent of this node? From: Joerg Heinicke <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx> Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2002 20:44:32 +0200 |
Help, please!
For the XML data structure below I'm trying to use a recursive template to piece together the 'path' of each XMLDataItem element. Thus for the XMLDataItem whose @Name is 'POIssuedDate' I want the template to return the path as '/bat:Batch/PurchaseOrder/OrderHeader'
To do this I need an XPath statement inside the template to locate the parent node of the current node. I've been using...
//XMLDataItem[child::XMLDataItem/@Name=$currentNode/@Name]
(where $currentNode is the parameter passed into the template). However, it's not finding that parent node - actually, in this instance it's not finding anything. Any suggestions?
<XMLData>
<XMLDataItem DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="bat:Batch">
<XMLDataItem DataItemType="Attribute" Name="BatchID" Description="Unique identifier for the batch file" Source="Customer" MandatoryOptional="M" Format="Aplhanumeric(20)" ValidationNotes="Must only include characters valid for use in Windows file names (reserved characters, such as : are invalid)"> </XMLDataItem>
<XMLDataItem DataItemType="Attribute" Name="NoOfEntries" Description="The number of purchase orders in the batch file" Source="Customer" MandatoryOptional="M" Format="Numeric" ValidationNotes="This must match the number of orders within the batch file"> </XMLDataItem>
<XMLDataItem> DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="PurchaseOrder"
<XMLDataItem> DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="OrderHeader"
<XMLDataItem DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="POIssuedDate" Description="Date/time of creation of the order by the service provider" Source="Customer" MandatoryOptional="M" Format="ccyymmddThh:mm:ss" ValidationNotes="Must be a valid date/time"> </XMLDataItem>
<XMLDataItem DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="RequestedDeliveryDate" Description="Date/time by which the order is required by the service provider" Source="Customer" MandatoryOptional="M" Format="ccyymmddThh:mm:ss" ValidationNotes="Must be a valid date/time, recommended to be at least 7 days from submission; cannot be date in the past. This date/time is repeated later in the order and both occurrences must be the same."> </XMLDataItem>
<XMLDataItem> DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="OrderReference"
<XMLDataItem> DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="AccountCode"
<XMLDataItem> DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="Reference"
<XMLDataItem DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="RefNum" Description="Billing account reference" Source="Customer" MandatoryOptional="M" Format="Alphanumeric(20)" ValidationNotes="This must match the value supplied on registration"> </XMLDataItem> </XMLDataItem> </XMLDataItem>
<XMLDataItem> DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="BuyerRefNum"
<XMLDataItem> DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="Reference"
<XMLDataItem DataItemType="XMLElement" Name="RefNum" Description="The unique identifier number for the end user order" Source="Customer" CustomerMandatoryOptional="M" Format="Alphanumeric(20)" ValidationNotes=""> </XMLDataItem>
