[xsl] mixing recursive template calls and for-each

[Yvan Peter <Yvan.Peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  Hello,

  I hope i have not missed an obvious answer in the list.

  I have got the following XML file :

<page xmlns:place="http://place.noce.fr/1.0";>

  <place:list-of node="workitem"> <!-- iterate over the workitem node 
which inside source -->
    <source>
      <workitems>
       <workitem>
         <name>wi_1</name>
         <description>desc_wi_1</description>
       </workitem>
       <workitem>
         <name>wi_2</name>
        <description>desc_wi_2</description>
       </workitem>
      </workitems>
    </source>

    <link>
      <text><place:value-of name="description" /></text> <!-- replace 
with value of description node of workitem -->
      <url><place:value-of name="name" /></url>
    </link>
  </place:list-of>

</page>

  The <source> node has been generated and introduced inside the 
<place:list-of> node. I would like to transform this file into an XML 
file which looks like this :

<page>
  <link>
    <text>desc_wi_1</text>
    <url>wi_1</url>
  </link>
  <link>
    <text>desc_wi_2</text>
    <url>wi_2</url>
  </link>
</page>

Here his an example of the template i could manage to write...

  <xsl:template match="place:list-of">
    <!-- the node to iterate on -->
    <xsl:variable name="node" select="@node" />
    <!-- the nodes which are not under source node, that will be copied -->
    <xsl:variable name="present"
                  select=".//*[not( ancestor-or-self::source)]" />
    <!-- iterate on workitems -->
    <xsl:for-each select="source//*[name() = $node]">
      <!-- keep info on the current workitem -->
      <xsl:variable name="currentWI" select="xalan:nodeset(.)" />
      <!-- go through the nodes to treat -->
      <xsl:for-each select="$present">
        <xsl:choose>
          <!-- if it is a place:value-of, replace with the value in the 
workitem -->
          <xsl:when test="name() = 'place:value-of'">
            <xsl:value-of select="$currentWI/*[name() = 
current()/@name]" />
          </xsl:when>
          <xsl:otherwise>
            <!-- else, how to copy as is other nodes ? -->
            <!-- for-each and apply-templates brought no success -->
          </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

  Here is my problem, for each given node under <source>, i would like 
to generate the tags inside place:list-of and at the same time change 
place:value-of for the corresponding value.

  Of course, <place:list-of> is intended to be generic and should work 
for any tags under <source> and i don't know at what depth i will find 
<place:value-of> tags...

  Any hint whould be very welcome.

  Yvan
