Hi all,
I'm having a problem pulling distinct nodes out of some xml with duplicate
values at multiple levels. In all cases, I want to get the data from the
last node of a set that shares duplicate values. (This xml will be in a
file that gets appended to multiple times. So I can assume that the last
tags are the most current.)
In the xml below, what I'm trying to do is get a list of distinct book/code
values from the last prodline where name=PL1. I can successfully get the
prodline using this select statement:
<xsl:for-each select="prodline[code='PL1'][last()]">
But I'm having no luck getting a list of distinct book/code values from
this particular prodline. I've tried creating keys and using the Meunchian
method of comparing generate-id() values, but to no avail. Any help would
be greatly appreciated!
Here's the xml:
<prodlines>
<prodline>
<name>Product Line 1</name>
<code>PL1</code>
<product>
<name>Product 1</name>
<code>P1</code>
<book>
<name>Book 1</name>
<code>B1</code>
</book>
<book>
<name>Book 2</name>
<code>B2</code>
</book>
</product>
<product>
<name>Product 2</name>
<code>P2</code>
<book>
<name>Book 1</name>
<code>B1</code>
</book>
<book>
<name>Book 3</name>
<code>B3</code>
</book>
<book>
<name>Book 4</name>
<code>B4</code>
</book>
</product>
</prodline>
<prodline>
<name>Product Line 2</name>
<code>PL2</code>
<product>
<name>Product 1</name>
<code>P1</code>
<book>
<name>Book 1</name>
<code>B1</code>
</book>
</product>
</prodline>
<prodline>
<name>Product Line 1 (ver 2)</name>
<code>PL1</code>
<product>
<name>Product 1</name>
<code>P1</code>
<book>
<name>Book 1</name>
<code>B1</code>
</book>
<book>
<name>Book 2</name>
<code>B2</code>
</book>
<book>
<name>Book 5</name>
<code>B5</code>
</book>
</product>
<product>
<name>Product 2</name>
<code>P2</code>
<book>
<name>Book 1</name>
<code>B1</code>
</book>
<book>
<name>Book 2</name>
<code>B2</code>
</book>
<book>
<name>Book 3</name>
<code>B3</code>
</book>
<book>
<name>Book 4</name>
<code>B4</code>
</book>
</product>
</prodline>
</prodlines>
