Hi Jeff,
i tried to solve your problem. Below is the complete
XSL and XML(i have assumed an example XML). Please let
me know if my stylesheet works with your actual XML.
Since you are using Xalan-J, i have used a Xalan
extension function nodeset which helps me enumerate
over the attributes.
Sample XML
----------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rootelem>
<A id="1" name="name1">aaa</A>
<B id="2" name="name2">bbb</B>
<C id="3" name="name3">ccc</C>
<D id="4" name="name4">ddd</D>
<E id="5" name="name5">eee</E>
<F id="6" name="name6">fff</F>
<G id="7" name="name7">ggg</G>
<H id="8" name="name8">hhh</H>
</rootelem>
XSL
---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan";
exclude-result-prefixes="xalan">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="tag"/>
<xsl:param name="text"/>
<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
<xsl:if test="(name(.) = $tag)">
<xsl:element name="{$tag}">
<xsl:for-each select="xalan:nodeset(@*)">
<xsl:variable name="attName" select="name(.)"/>
<xsl:attribute name="{$attName}"><xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="not(name(.) = $tag)">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Yes, having looked at Jeni's XSL it is way over the

Jim Fuller for directing

Mukul, the code you supplied is what I tried first
of all but it doesn't
copy across attributes.
Here is where I am so far...
Vendor: Apache Software Foundation
URL: http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j
Version: 1
The following works fine but once it hits the node
and question, and
processes it OK, it does not continue down into
deeper nests below that
node. So I know what I want to do but can't quite
crack how to do it. Any
help with this would be gratefully received.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:param name="tag"/> <!-- name of node
containing text to be changed
-->
<xsl:param name="text"/> <!-- new text to be
placed in node -->
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:if test="name()=$tag">
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:value-of select='$text'/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="not(name()=$tag)">
<xsl:for-each select="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

runtime
Hi Jeff ,
You can try a XSL something like below. This will
replace the contents of tag <A> with 'Some new text'
and copy other things to output as it is. But you
want
to provide the tag name and the new text, *at run
time*. If you can tell what is your XSLT processor
and
*how you would like to supply the 2 parameters at
run
time*, i can try modifying the stylesheet
accordingly.
i don't know if Jeni's XSL is meeting your
requirement(it looks quite complicated to me for
your
problem).
Regards,
Mukul

Hi
Can you please give some guidance on this...
I would like to be able, at runtime, to parse an
XML
file and change
<A>Original text</A>
to
<A>Some new text</A>
On the next occasion I might want to do this...
<F>Old text</F>
change to
<F>New text</F>
So at runtime I need to pass in two parameters
that
specify the required
node and the new text for it.
There are two issues: Either change the text in
every node called <A>
throughout the document or else only change <A>
along a particular path. A
solution to either (or both?) option will do for
me.
Of course the rest of the document must remain in
its entirety, e.g.
attributes, children etc.
Many thanks for any help given.
Regards
Jeff
