Dear list,
The problem is that the generate-id() generates stg completely different
and I would like to generate an ID in the same form (xmi.number) with the
first/next available number. In order to achive this, I defined _id as a
key:
<xsl:key name="_id" match="node()" use="@_id"></xsl:key>
But I have no idea how to make the function generate-id() to generate
the next available id from this key.
You can't control how generate-id() works, but you could do something
like write a named template that will generate the ID. For example, you
could count the number of preceding elements that don't have an _ID
attribute and then add that value to the numeric part of the nearest
preceding element that *does* have an _ID attribute. All doable with
normal XSLT functions.
Or you could implement a Java extension function that implements an ID
generator that does what you want.
Cheers,
Eliot
