RE: Problem with generating Unique ids

2005-07-04 06:18:43



I am new to XSLT. I struck with a problem. I want to generate 
the unique ids to the nodes in the xml tree and add those 
unique id as an attribute to that node. I am unable to to do 
that. Can any one give me the xslt code to generate unique ID 
and add it to the current node as an attribute.

<xsl:template match="*">
        <xsl:copy>
                <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
                <xsl:attribute name="id">
                        <xsl:value-of select="generate-id()"/>
                </xsl:attribute>
                <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

...will create a copy of your input adding an attribute 'id' to each
element that is unique for that transform.  As the same id cannot be be
guaranteed across multiple runs of the same transform it might not be
what you are after.
