I'm trying to refactor my XSL so that I can make a
call to a template from several locations in my XSL.
However, I need to parameterize this template with a
node set of where the data should come from. I have
two documents that I'm merging together to result in
one document. I'm assigning parameter to a XPath to
the node set which is correct before I call the
template. But, when I use it inside the template I
get "Cannot use result tree fragment. Error in XPath
expression, Cannot use result tree fragment." Here is
an example of what I'm doing:
<xsl:for-each select="document($ruleFile)/rulelist/rule[(_at_)A='blah']">
<xsl:call-template name="insertRule">
<xsl:with-param name="currentRule">
<xsl:value-of select="current()"/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:for-each>
Hi Charlie,
<xsl:value-of select="current()"/> returns the text contents of
the current element, not the element itself. You can rewrite
the xsl:with-param like this:
<xsl:with-param name="currentRule" select="current()"/>
which has a totally different result, because here, you pass a
pointer to the 'real' current element. Your next template
should work, then.
But altogether, you can do it easily without any params (and much shorter),
by using apply-templates and match:
<xsl:variable name="rules" select="document($ruleFile)/rulelist/rule"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="$rules[(_at_)A='blah']"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="rule">
<rule id="{blah/@id}"/>
</xsl:template>
Cheers,
Anton
<xsl:template name="insertRule">
<xsl:param name="currentRule"
<xsl:element name="rule">
<xsl:attribute name="id">
<xsl:value-of select="$currentRule/blah/@id"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
I'm using XMLSpy's debugger to step through the XSL,
and once I enter the template the parameter isn't a
node set like it was before I called the template, but
a node fragment. I don't know what a node fragment
is. Can anyone explain this? And, what am I doing
wrong here? Sorry I'm new to XSL. I tried reading
the faq and archive, but I couldn't find anything
about this in either location.
