Re: [xsl] How can one get the name of a template or function?

[Philip Fearon <pgfearo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A crude approach for collecting data on invoked templates, is to use a
'meta' XSLT stylesheet that modifies the XSLT you're interested in
collecting data on. This could insert xsl:message instructions in each
target template. You then just need to use this modified stylesheet on
sample data.

The XSLT might look something like this (this version not tested):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:pxsl="http://qutoric.com/proxy-for-xsl";>

<xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="pxsl" result-prefix="xsl"/>

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="no"/>

<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template

match="xsl:template">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="empty(*)">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>

<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*| xsl:param"/>

<xsl:apply-templates select="node() except xsl:param"/>
<xsl:variable name="msg" as="xs:string*">
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<xsl:if test="name(.) = ('match','mode','name')">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(' ', name(.),': ',.)"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
<pxsl:message>Template-Signature: <xsl:value-of select="msg"/></pxsl:message>
<xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>

</xsl:copy>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
