Re: Maintaining Heirarchy and using Recursion to write an XSL

Here is the XML file for which i am writing an XSL StyleSheet to convert to
HTML:

<HSContract contractCategory="2" contractName="myWebservice"
id="25_610_15006485306">

        <HSDataContainerType name="DataContainer_1" required="true">gg

                <HSInteger name="integerField_1"  />
                <HSDouble name="decimalField_1" />
                <HSDate name="dateField_1"  />

                <HSDataContainerType name="DataContainer_1_1" required="true">gg

                        <HSString name="textField_1_1" required="true" />
                        <HSInteger name="integerField_1_1" required="true" />

                        <HSDataContainerType name="DataContainer_1_1_1" 
required="true">
                                <HSString name="textField_1_1_1" 
required="true" />
                                <HSInteger name="integerField_1_1_1" 
required="true" />
                        </HSDataContainerType>

                </HSDataContainerType>

        </HSDataContainerType>

</HSContract>

I don't know the number of <HSDataContainerType> tags i could inside one
another.  I am trying to display the output (HTML) thru my XSL like:

DataContainer_1
        integerField_1
        decimalField_1
        dateField_1
        DataContainer_1_1
                textField_1_1
                integerField_1_1
                DataContainer_1_1_1
                        textField_1_1_1
                        integerField_1_1_1

The XSL i wrote using a <for-each> takes care of ANY number of
<HSDataContainerType> tags nested into one another. But i can't display the
fields correspoding to each. Here is my XSL (i know if condition doesn't
work!):
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="HSDataContainerType">
        <xsl:comment>call recurseTemplate</xsl:comment>
        <xsl:comment>recurse until you see a DataContainerType</xsl:comment>
        <xsl:for-each select="//HSDataContainerType">
                <div><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></div>
                <xsl:if test="contains(child::*,HSString)">
                        <xsl:for-each select="//HSString">
                                <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
                        </xsl:for-each>
                </xsl:if>
        </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Any help/hint would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
