Re: [xsl] create xml from incoming xml and load it into a variable

[sudheshna iyer <sudheshnaiyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you.

I did this using:
	<xsl:template match="root">
	  <xsl:variable name="var">
	    <xsl:element name="subroot" use-attribute-sets="id">
		<xsl:apply-templates select="bbb"/>
	    </xsl:element>
	  </xsl:variable>
	  
	  <!--Traverse the variable-->
	  <xsl:for-each select="xalan:nodeset($var)/root/subroot">
	    <xsl:key name="ccc" match="subroot" use="11"/> ===> ERROR!!!!
	  </xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:template>

Sample xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>    
    <subroot id="11111">
        <ccc>11</ccc>
        <ddd>2005-08-26</ddd>
        <eee>aaaaaaaa</eee>
    </subroot>
    <subroot id="11111">
        <ccc>22</ccc>
        <ddd>2005-08-26</ddd>
        <eee>aaaaaaaa</eee>
    </subroot>
    <subroot id="11111">
        <ccc>11</ccc>
        <ddd>2005-08-26</ddd>
        <eee>aaaaaaaa</eee>
    </subroot>
</root> 

Inside the loop, I need to use  <xsl:key name="ccc" match="subroot" use="ccc"/>. 
But while transforming, I am receiving the following error:

xsl:key is not allowed in this position in the stylesheet!

How do I use "key" tag inside a variable which contains xml?

I appreciate your help.
