Hi,
I am looking for tutorials about the use of XML Schema within
Stylesheets where the schema is used to get information about the source
document structure. I know how I can use XML Schema for validation of a
document or a part of it but what I am looking for is how I can get
information about the source document structure from the schmema.
Let me post an example:
Suppose the following XML as input together with his associated schema.
The parser will additionally get the parameter SrcName='A'
<class id="2" pkgid="1" classname="A">
<field id="21" type="basic" typename="int" name="publ_int_i"/>
<field id="22" type="basic" typename="long" name="long_d"/>
<modifier modified_id="21" modifier="public"/>
</class>
When creating the stylesheet (which should be created dynamically
later), I know that there is "class" Element with 3 attributes but I
don't know the name of the attributes. Is it possible to get the names
of the attributes from the schema so that they can be used in a
<xsl:match> element like
<xsl:match
pattern="//class[*ask-schema-which-attribute-is-the-third-one()=$SrcName*]>
?
Maybe this sounds confusing but what this all is about is a comparison
between so called "conditional transformations (cts)", which are
implemented in prolog and are used to transform prolog facts, and xslt.
The prolog facts are translated to XML and I am trying to translate
these cts to xslt to see what is more powefull, cts or xslt.

Garvin
