Re: [xsl] user defined data elements in stylesheets

Hi Mukul, 

document('') 
is what you are looking for 
It has some issues however. 
It is an interesting hack in XSLT1 if you want to avoid the use of a node-set() function 
But I see no reason why you would not just put the data elements inside a variable (gives you some typing on top if you want) 

Met vriendelijke groeten, 
Best regards,

Onderwerp: [xsl] user defined data elements in stylesheets 

Hi all, 
I'm trying to use 'user defined data elements' in an XSLT stylesheet. 

Following is my XSLT transformation example, 

XML input document: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<root> 
<a val="-1"/> 
<a val="-4"/> 
<a val="5"/> 
<a val="3"/> 
<a val="2"/> 
</root> 

XSLT stylesheet (file proc1.xsl, with local absolute URI file:///e:/xslt_examples/basic/proc1.xsl): 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=" [ http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform | http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform ] " 
xmlns:m_ns0=" [ http://example.com/my_meta_data | http://example.com/my_meta_data ] " 
exclude-result-prefixes="m_ns0" 
version="3.0"> 

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/> 
<!-- this is the user defined data element --> 
<m_ns0:names> 
<name>jill</name> 
<name>jane</name> 
<name>hello1</name> 
</m_ns0:names> 

<xsl:template match="root"> 
<result> 
<xsl:copy-of select="document('file:///e:/xslt_examples/basic/proc1.xsl')/xsl:stylesheet/m_ns0:names" copy-namespaces="no"/> 
<xsl:apply-templates select="a[number(@val) gt 0]" mode="gt0"/> 
<xsl:apply-templates select="a[number(@val) lt 0]" mode="lt0"/> 
</result> 
</xsl:template> 

<xsl:template match="a" mode="gt0"> 
<val><xsl:value-of select="@val"/>: positive</val> 
</xsl:template> 

<xsl:template match="a" mode="lt0"> 
<val><xsl:value-of select="@val"/>: negative</val> 
</xsl:template> 

</xsl:stylesheet> 

The above transformation produces, following result, 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<result> 
<m_ns0:names xmlns:m_ns0=" [ http://example.com/my_meta_data | http://example.com/my_meta_data ] "> 
<name>jill</name> 
<name>jane</name> 
<name>hello1</name> 
</m_ns0:names> 
<val>5: positive</val> 
<val>3: positive</val> 
<val>2: positive</val> 
<val>-1: negative</val> 
<val>-4: negative</val> 
</result> 

The above output is what I'm expecting. 

Following are my questions, 

You could see that, within my stylesheet, I've used following stylesheet instruction, 
<xsl:copy-of select="document('file:///e:/xslt_examples/basic/proc1.xsl')/xsl:stylesheet/m_ns0:names" copy-namespaces="no"/> 

I've used the absolute URI of the stylesheet document, as argument to the document() function. Is it possible, to specify the stylesheet document reference to the document() function in a portable way (i.e, not an absolute URI)?
