I need some help with a particular problem I'm trying to solve. I need to transform an xml document that is based partially on information that is extracted from another xml file whose purpose is to act like a lookup table. However, the wrinkle is that the values extracted from the lookup table are xml fragments that might be one or more fields.
<AB> <TC name="a"> <TTM type="b"> <UCM preference="1"> <UC>S</UC> <UPS> <pa prefnum="1"> <XXXX> <YYYY/> <ZZZZ/> </XXXX> </pa> <pa prefnum="2"> <WWWW/> </pa> </UPS> </UCM> </TTM> </TC> ... </AB>
<TM> <T id="something" TC="a"> <Type>b</Type> <Prefs> <UC>S</UC> <UPS>1</UPS> </Prefs> </T> ... </TM>
Based on the lookup from the first file, since the UPS value is 1, the corresonding XML fragment from above <XXXX> <YYYY/> <ZZZZ/> </XXXX> needs to be *modified* and copied into the output tree. The above code will have to look something like this
<p c="XXXX"> <p c="YYYY"/> <p c="ZZZZ"/> </p>
If on the other hand, the UPS value was 2, then the lookup matches the second XML fragment and the code will be
The problem I'm having is to figure out how to do the *copy and tranformation* of the xml fragment since I don't know deeply nested it might be. I'm stumped in thinking of an elegant solution to this problem.
