Hello List,
I spent the last few hours trying to do something I consider very tricky:
I´m writing a rather large stylesheet that - among other things - reads out
attributes called "configurationPath". These configuration paths are passed
to the document-function in order to process the documents specified there.
The output is HTML.
So far so good. What I want to do now is to create hyperlinks from the base
document output (which is called base.xml) to the beginng of the other
documents' output. And I don´t seem to be able to call the generate-id()
-function the right way, although I read the FAQ.
These are simplified versions of base.xml and the stylesheet. The position
the <a>s should appear are commented in the stylesheet.
base.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<base xmlns="http://www.dummy.de"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.dummy.de/base.xsd">
<stuff>
</stuff>
<morestuff>
</morestuff>
<mainApplication name="Demo" configurationPath
="product/demo/demoApplication.xml" />
<applications>
<application name="Tools" configurationPath
="tool/toolApplication.xml" />
<application name="testapp" configurationPath
="test/testApplication.xml" />
</applications>
</base>
simple.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
xmlns:base="http://www.dummy.de"
xmlns:app="http://www.dummy.de/application">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="iso-8859-1" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<!--Root-Element-->
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h1>Base configuration</h1><br/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="base:base"/>
<br/><h1>Application configuration</h1>
<xsl:apply-templates select="base:base//*[(_at_)configurationPath]" mode
="apps"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<!--base.xml-->
<xsl:template match="base:base">
<table width="640">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="base:mainApplication">
<xsl:variable name="test" select="@configurationPath"/>
<tr>
<td>main application</td>
<!-- Here I´d like to have a hyperlink><a>-->
<td><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></td>
<!--</a>-->
<td><xsl:value-of select="@configurationPath"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="base:applications">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="base:application">
<tr>
<!-- Here I´d like to have a hyperlink><a>-->
<td>application <xsl:number/></td>
<!--</a>-->
<td><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="@configurationPath"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
<!-- End of base.xml-->
<!-- processes the applications' configuration files-->
<xsl:template match="*[(_at_)configurationPath]" mode="apps">
<xsl:variable name="application" select="@configurationPath"/>
<br/>
<!-- this is were the link should refer to <a>--->
<h2>Application <xsl:value-of select="$application"/></h2>
<!-- </a> -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="document($application)" mode="app"/>
</xsl:template>
<!--application subelements-->
<xsl:template match="app:application" mode="app">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The applications' xml files can be almost empty, for testing they just need
a root-element "application"
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<application xmlns ="http://www.dummy.de/application"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.dummy.de/application.xsd">
</application>
Thank you very much for your help. I really don´t know what to do.
