Hi thanks for the reply.
When I run that as is, I do not get the desired result, also I don't know
what to do with
-identity-reference- and -identity-reference-name- if anything?
It basically just copied everything over from the passed in file, but it did
not look to see if an element should get its attributes/nodes from a
referenced element.
Groetjes.

Hi,
Tempore 02:25:13, die 07/28/2005 AD, hinc in

I have a stylesheet which basically should do the following:
- Copy the whole XML file passed to it
- Apply a template if the element is "field"
- Copy everything over from the XML file passed
- Then start copying everything from the XML in a variable
($fieldCollection) where the attribute "identity" matches
- However if the element from $fieldCollection contains an
attribute
called "reference" is present it needs to copy everything from the
element in $fieldCollection that matches that "identity"
- Then it just needs to copy over that element from
$fieldCollection
and overwrite any attributes previously copied
- And finally it needs to copy over the element from the XML
passed
in and overwrite anything previously there
In Saxon, copied attributes override previously copied attributes.
The following stylesheet gives the desired result:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes" media-type="string" />
<xsl:variable name="fieldCollection"
select="document('fieldcollection.xml')/root"/>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="field">
<xsl:variable name="match"
select="$fieldCollection/field[current()/@identity = @identity ]"/>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="$match" mode="collect_attributes"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$match" mode="collect_elements"/>
</xsl:copy> </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="field" mode="collect_attributes">
<xsl:param name="exclude">-identity-reference-</xsl:param>
<xsl:copy-of
select="@*[not(contains($exclude,concat('-',local-name(),'-')))]"/>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="../field[(_at_)identity=current()/@reference]"
mode="collect_attributes">
<xsl:with-param
name="exclude">-identity-reference-name-</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="field" mode="collect_elements">
<xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="../field[(_at_)identity=current()/@reference]" mode="collect_elements"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
