Subject: [xsl] How to extract an element plus all the elements it references plus all the elements referenced by the referenced elements plus ... From: "Costello, Roger L. costello@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2018 18:18:48 -0000 |
Hi Folks, I have instance documents containing a bunch of <airport> elements. I want to extract one of the <airport> elements. But the <airport> element might contain IDREF elements, so the result document must include the <airport> element and the referenced elements. Those referenced elements might contain IDREF elements, so the result document must include those referenced elements as well. And on and on and on. Further, while collecting those referenced elements, there might be a reference to an element that has already been collected; I don't want to collect elements twice. Here is a sample instance document: <Airports> <airport id="A"> <ICAO>KBOS</ICAO> <ref>A-1</ref> </airport> <airport id="B"> <ICAO>KSTL</ICAO> <ref>B-1</ref> </airport> <runways id="A-1"> <runway> <ref>A-1-1</ref> </runway> <runway> <ref>A-1-2</ref> </runway> </runways> <runways id="B-1"> <runway> <ref>B-1-1</ref> </runway> </runways> <gate id="A-1-1"> <ref>A</ref> </gate> <gate id="A-1-2" /> <gate id="B-1-1" /> </Airports> I would like to extract the <airport> element with ICAO = KBOS (Boston airport). The following result document contains the desired <airport> element plus all the recursively referenced elements: <Result> <airport id="A"> <ICAO>KBOS</ICAO> <ref>A-1</ref> </airport> <runways id="A-1"> <runway> <ref>A-1-1</ref> </runway> <runway> <ref>A-1-2</ref> </runway> </runways> <gate id="A-1-1"> <ref>A</ref> </gate> <gate id="A-1-2" /> </Result> I've written an XSLT program to do the job. See below. I am wondering if there is a better (simpler, clearer) solution? /Roger <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:f="function" exclude-result-prefixes="f" version="2.0"> <xsl:output method="xml" /> <xsl:variable name="doc" select="/"/> <xsl:template match="Airports"> <Results> <xsl:sequence select="f:get-elements-and-their-referenced-elements(airport[ICAO eq 'KBOS'], foo)" /> </Results> </xsl:template> <xsl:function name="f:get-elements-and-their-referenced-elements" as="element()*"> <xsl:param name="elements-to-process" as="element()*" /> <xsl:param name="processed-elements" as="element()*" /> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="not($elements-to-process)"> <xsl:sequence select="$processed-elements" /> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:variable name="referenced-elements" as="element()*"> <xsl:for-each select="$elements-to-process//ref"> <xsl:variable name="ref" select="." /> <xsl:sequence select="$doc//*[@id eq $ref]" /> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="new-elements-to-process" select="$referenced-elements except $processed-elements" /> <xsl:variable name="new-processed-elements" select="$processed-elements union $new-elements-to-process" /> <xsl:sequence select="f:get-elements-and-their-referenced-elements($new-elements-to-process, $new-processed-elements)" /> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:function> </xsl:stylesheet>
