RE: [xsl] Problem using recursive apply-templates calls

2006-09-15 15:36:51
Sorry, one more thing. 

The reason I thought it was OK to make this apply-templates call is that I
did want to iterate through the performers again in the same context, but I
thought the performerLevels variable I sent would limit it so that there
would only be one more iteration through all the performers. I think that
variable isn't being decremented properly, or maybe this just won't work for
some other reason I don't know about.

Subject: Re: [xsl] Problem using recursive apply-templates calls

Hi Allison,

Your

<xsl:apply-templates select="../../Performers"/>

will cause the <xsl:template match="Performers"> to be matched exactly 
in the same context as it was matched initially when you called

<xsl:apply-templates select="Performers">
  <xsl:with-param name="performerLevels" select="2"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>

This causes an infinite loop.

A possible solution is to iterate first the individual speakers and 
print their information, then all the group performers and print group 
info. If you define two keys to match moderators and speakers for each 
group then you can just iterate on moderators and print their info and 
on speakers and print their info for each group. You can find below such 
a stylesheet, hope that helps.

it gives
  Here are the events:

Performer Group:Performer group
  Moderator:  Performer in Performer Group, Performer, Org
  Speaker:  Performer Speaker in Performer Group, Performer, Org

Hi, 

I want to create an XSL stylesheet that will display information on a
calendar event. I have an XML document containing all the event
information.
In this our system, performers can be groups which contain other
performers.
If the performer is part of a group, it has a PerformerParentID. 

I am trying to create a stylesheet that goes through all the performers
and
prints information first for only individual performers grouped by
performer
type(I know there are still some problems with this that I haven't
completely worked out yet) and then prints the performer groups. Then I
want
to recursively call my Performer template to print the performers that are
part of the groups in the same way performers are printed out, but under
the
appropriate group heading. Something like this:

Featured speaker: Totally individual performer - in no group, Manager, IBM
Performer Group: Group #1
      Moderator: Performer #1 in Group #1, Facilitator, SAP
      Speaker: Performer #2 in Group #1, Manager, SAP

I first tried to use a global variable to count the number of recursive
calls I wanted to do (I know that there are only two levels of performer
groups in our systems so I stop there), but that didn't work. So I tried
to
follow Bob DuCharme's recommendation here:
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/08/01/gettingloopy.html?page=2 However, my
implementation is slightly different as I have to use apply-templates
instead of call-template since I'm changing the context node. But this
isn't
working either, and when I test it out in Oxygen with Saxon 8b I'm getting
a
message that there are "Too many nested apply-templates calls. The
stylesheet is probably looping." I am also the transform using PHP 5's
standard XSLT processor and having the same problem.

Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated! Here are snippets of the
appropriate code:
