I have two xml documents, each of the two documents have the same
structure but with different data and namespaces (ex:)
(doc 1)
<people xmlns="http://people.file1";>
<name>david</name>
<name>glen</name>
<name>travis</name>
<people>
(doc 2)
<people xmlns="http://people.file2";>
<name>bob</name>
<name>jim</name>
<name>smith</name>
<people>
What I want to accomplish is, read both of the xml files into a single
xsl and have it transform each of the files differently according to
their namespaces. Is this possible?? I have been trying for a
while with
no success. I have been using document() to take in the second xml
file.
Have you tried testing namespace-uri() to see which namespace
each document's document element belongs to?
E.g. something like
<xsl:variable name="doc1" select="document('doc1.xml')" />
<xsl:variable name="doc2" select="document('doc2.xml')" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="$doc1 | $doc2">
<xsl:when test="namespace-uri(.) = 'http://people.file1'">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="mode1" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="mode2" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
