[xsl] Re: Maintaining Heirarchy and using Recursion to write an XSL

["Ahsan Hussain" <ahsan_hussain@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is the XML file for which i am writing an XSL StyleSheet to convert to
HTML:

<HSContract contractCategory="2" contractName="myWebservice"
id="25_610_15006485306">

	<HSDataContainerType name="DataContainer_1" required="true">gg

		<HSInteger name="integerField_1"  />
		<HSDouble name="decimalField_1" />
		<HSDate name="dateField_1"  />

		<HSDataContainerType name="DataContainer_1_1" required="true">gg

			<HSString name="textField_1_1" required="true" />
			<HSInteger name="integerField_1_1" required="true" />

			<HSDataContainerType name="DataContainer_1_1_1" required="true">
				<HSString name="textField_1_1_1" required="true" />
				<HSInteger name="integerField_1_1_1" required="true" />
			</HSDataContainerType>

		</HSDataContainerType>

	</HSDataContainerType>

</HSContract>

I don't know the number of <HSDataContainerType> tags i could inside one
another.  I am trying to display the output (HTML) thru my XSL like:

DataContainer_1
	integerField_1
	decimalField_1
	dateField_1
	DataContainer_1_1
		textField_1_1
		integerField_1_1
		DataContainer_1_1_1
			textField_1_1_1
			integerField_1_1_1

The XSL i wrote using a <for-each> takes care of ANY number of
<HSDataContainerType> tags nested into one another. But i can't display the
fields correspoding to each. Here is my XSL (i know if condition doesn't
work!):
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="HSDataContainerType">
	<xsl:comment>call recurseTemplate</xsl:comment>
	<xsl:comment>recurse until you see a DataContainerType</xsl:comment>
	<xsl:for-each select="//HSDataContainerType">
		<div><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></div>
		<xsl:if test="contains(child::*,HSString)">
			<xsl:for-each select="//HSString">
				<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
			</xsl:for-each>
		</xsl:if>
	</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Any help/hint would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
