Subject: Re: [xsl] Joining Multiple XML using XPath API of XALAN From: Joseph Kesselman <keshlam@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2002 08:57:47 -0400 |
Just to clarify: The problem is that the problem description is incomplete: >I have to merge multiple XML that would come from >various sources. All the XML coming conform to the >same single Schema. The XML coming from various > sources will be merged and the merged xml will still >conform to that schema There isn't an API for the concept of "merge" -- because "merge" isn't well defined. There are generally many ways to merge data to produce a new document which will conform to the same schema, but the meaning of those documents will differ. To take an HTML example, you can merge two tables into one by adding rows, or adding columns, or combining values... sorted on any of the above or unsorted, with repeated values kept or eliminated... Or maybe you intended to put both tables into the output document as they stand, with or without descriptive text assocated with them... So you need to specify in detail what you mean by "merge". For that, you need to do some programming -- either at a low level by hardcoding it, or at a higher level by using a language such as XSLT, or in a more specialized transcoding tool. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
