What am I doing wrong?
The problem is here:
<xsl:when
test="/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]//zeroOrMore//
*[self=current()]">
You are testing if the current node has child named "self" and its
string value is equal to the string value of the current node.
Obviously, you wanted:
/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]//zeroOrMore//
*[generate-id() = generate-id( current())]

I have the following source XML. If you're familiar with relax NG you
'll see that it's an RNG grammar.
<grammar>
<start>
<element>
[...]
<zeroOrMore>
<choice>
<!-- interesting part (1) starts here -->
<element name="objective">
<optional>
<attribute name="id">
<data type="ID" />
</attribute>
</optional>
<oneOrMore>
<element name="para">
<zeroOrMore>
<text />
</zeroOrMore>
</element>
</oneOrMore>
</element>
<!-- interesting part ends here -->
[...]
</choice>
[...]
</element>
[...]
</start>
</grammar>
The Xpath to the subtree (1) that I'm interested in is
/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1] (call this (2))
What I wish to do is to apply templates to the subtree (1) where I
will
determine if there is a "zeroOrMore" node between the XPath (2) and
the
context node. However I'm having major trouble, I can't figure out
how
to make it work. Here's a simple test XSLT test.xsl that has the
xpath
(2) hardcoded into it for testing purposes.
<xsl:stylesheet version='1.0'
xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template
match="/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]">
<xsl:call-template name="testit"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template
match="/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]//*">
<xsl:call-template name="testit"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="testit">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when
test="/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]//zeroOrMore//
*[self=current()]">
<xsl:call-template name="thepath"/>
<xsl:text> YES</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:call-template name="thepath"/>
<xsl:text> NO</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<!-- see "thepath" template at the end of the email, it's code
from
the list -->
</xsl:stylesheet>
Here's the output from sablotron:
[simons-tibook:~/Sites/AxkitSite] woodside% sabcmd test.xsl form.html
/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1] NO
/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]/optional NO
/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]/optional/attribute
NO
/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]/optional/attribute/
data NO
/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]/oneOrMore NO
/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]/oneOrMore/element
NO
/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]/oneOrMore/element/
zeroOrMore NO
/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]/oneOrMore/element/
zeroOrMore/text NO
It's all right, except for the last one, which should be a YES.
Here's the even stranger output from xsltproc:
[simons-tibook:~/Sites/AxkitSite] woodside% xsltproc test.xsl
form.html
/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1] NO
/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]/optional NO
/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]/optional/attribute
NO
/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]/optional/attribute/
data NO
/grammar/start/element/zeroOrMore/choice/element[1]/oneOrMore/element
NO
(Why did xsltproc stop there???)
What am I doing wrong?
