Re: [xsl] XSLT to populate a SAML AttributeStatement from an XML

["ohaya ohaya@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi,

FYI, if/when I can get this working, the XSLT will be running on a Gateway
machine. I just checked, and I *can* select "2.0" for the XSLT, but I don't
see "2.0+".

Re. "attributes" - you are correct... I mispoke.

Thanks,
Jim

 Are you able to use XSLT 2.0+ -- that gives you a tokenize() function which
makes this far easier.

In 2.0 it's essentially

<xsl:template match="personnel/*">
B  <saml:Attribute Name="{name()}"
NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:basic">
B  B  <xsl:for-each select="tokenize(.)">
B  B  B  <saml:AttributeValue xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xsi:type="xsd:string"><xsl:value-of select="."/></saml:AttributeValue>

Incidentally, there are no attributes in your input XML - it's all elements.

to have a series of transforms to do this, rather than just a single XSLT,
mainly so I can be able to see how things are working (or not working).
