Hi Jinesh: You have a couple things going on here with the structure of your XSLT. First, you didn't declare your parameters anywhere, at least not in the code you provided here. So, in answer to ######2, the first part of your author template should look like this: <xsl:template match="author"> <xsl:param name="temppubid" /> <xsl:param name="tempperid"> <xsl:call-template name="generate-author-id"/> It seems you were trying to call the template named generate-author-id, which is defined elsewhere, but you used the xsl:template element to attempt to do so, so I changed this: <xsl:template name="generate-author-id"> to this <xsl:call-template name="generate-author-id"/> in the code above (but not in the originally defined template named generate-author-id that you built later in the stylesheet). #####3: You took a sort of object-oriented developer's approach to concatenation and mistakenly used the plus (+) operator in the concat function, where as you should use commas instead: concat('800000000',$last+$this) becomes select="concat('800000000',$last, $this)" I'm not sure what you are asking about with ####1, so I'll let someone else take over there. :-) Cheers, Chuck White Author, Mastering XSLT, Sybex Books http://www.javertising.com/webtech http://www.tumeric.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jinesh Varia" <jineshresearch@xxxxxxxxx> To: <XSL-List@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 5:20 PM Subject: [xsl] Generating IDs and seperating elements > Hello people, > two unique problems: > > My XML is > <publication pubid="0002"> > <author>steve lawer</author> > ........ > <publication> > > > I want my new XML as: > <publication pubid="0002"> > ........ > </publication> > <person perid="100000004"> <!-- new id generation --> > <personname>steve lawer</personname> > </person> > <pubper> <!-- publication-person intersection --> > <pubid>0002</pubid> > <perid>100000004</perid> > </pubper> > > My XSL is: > <?xml version="1.0"?> > > <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" > xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> > <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/> > > <xsl:template match="publication"> > > <publication> > <xsl:copy-of select="@*|*[not(self::author or > self::editor)]"/> <!-- this is just to cut the authors > element--> > </publication> > > <xsl:if test="author=not(.=preceding::author|editor)" > ><!-- this is so that we get unique authors and > editors: Please comment on this #####1--> > <xsl:apply-templates select="author"> > <xsl:with-param name="temppubid" select="@pubid" /> > </xsl:apply-templates> > </xsl:if> > </xsl:template> > > <xsl:template match="author"> > <person> > <xsl:attribute name="perid"> > <xsl:template name="generate-author-id"> <!-- > generating ids --> > </xsl:attribute> > <personname> > <xsl:value-of select="."/> > </personname> > </person> > <pubper> > <pubid> > <xsl:value-of select="$temppubid"/><!-- Why is > this not printing the parameter that I am sending > #####2 --> > </pubid> > <perid> > <xsl:value-of select="$tempperid"/> <!- I > want to print the id that I just created for person > over here.
