Re: [xsl] problem building a lookup table and find match from a different template

2006-08-30 13:20:05
Hi drkm,
Thanks so much! It works better than the table lookup I was going after. I have another question. Is there a limitation that this key can be used? Somehow, I can get a key match in one template, but not in another template. I did make sure the key value is the right value.

Thanks again!

  You don't need to use a variable for this.  Dynamically
build trees in XSLT 1.0 (Result Tree Fragments) have a
boring restriction: you can't navigate in their structure as
you can for the input tree.  You can just copy them in the
output.  But you can use keys:

    <xsl:key name="ds2" match="Dataset2/Item" use="@ID"/>

    <xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="Dataset1/Item" mode="dispatch"/>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="Item" mode="dispatch">
      <xsl:variable name="item2" select="key('ds2', @ID)"/>
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="$item2">
          <xsl:apply-templates select="$item2"/>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="Dataset1/Item">
      In 1: <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="Dataset2/Item">
      [warn] In 2: <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </xsl:template>

  Warning: not tested, and written in my MUA...
