Re: [xsl] Json to xml

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

In trying to build a small sample I have found where the problem is 
coming from. It looks like this might be a timing issue of when the 
stylesheet is read vs when the json-to-sml() file is triggered and that 
XML becomes available to evaluate.

At the top of the included XSLT is this

		<!-- Remeber thsi content to lookup details later  -->
	<xsl:variable name="PROPERTIES" 
select="/j:map/j:map[@key='properties']"/>

I use this value to lookup details that are linked to much further down 
and deeply nested. This works prefectly when using this XSLT standalone 
with the generated XML file.

I'm guessing what happens when it is included in the main XSLT, that 
this variable is being set based upon the JSON file that the main XSLT 
is called with.

In the main XSLT, I moved this declaration out of the template so the 
variable is global:

<xsl:variable name="MAPFILE" select="json-to-xml(., map { 'escape' : 
true() })"/>

I then modified the PROPERTIES variable to use $MAPFILE and it now 
works.

		<!-- Remeber thsi content to lookup details later  -->
	<xsl:variable name="PROPERTIES" 
select="$MAPFILE/j:map/j:map[@key='properties']"/>

BUT it is now no longer possible to run the second stylesheet 
standalone.

So, I've found the problem and need to find a better way to capture this 
information.
