[xsl] storing XPath Expression in a variabel, and using it in a document function

2006-06-21 04:11:50
Hi!
This is a snippet from my xml source file:

<file collection="ieee" name="ex/2003/x1055">
<element path="/article[position()=1]/bdy[position()=1]" exhaustivity="?"/>
<element path="/article[position()=1]/bdy[position()=1]/sec[position()=4]" exhaustivity="?"/>

I want to use the information in the name and path attribute to retrieve elements among a set of xml files. For that I'll use the document() function like this:

<xsl:variable name="document" select="@name')"/>
<xsl:variable name="path" select="@path"/>
<xsl:variable name="docPath" select="concat('xml/', $name, '.xml')"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="document($docPath)/$path">

Apparantly this is not working as the variable $path is not a node set. Do you know a way to make this possible? I read about the exslt dynamic evaluation, but I weren't able to make it work. Is that the correct way of solving this problem?

Regards

Linde
