RE: [xsl] Selectively applying Identity transform to multiple inputs (Multiplexer Style Sheet)

2007-01-05 14:32:36

Something like this:

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="$input2 != ''">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="document($input2)/child::node()"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="./child::node()"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Or replace the xsl:apply-templates by xsl:copy-of if it really is a pure
copy.

In 2.0 you can do

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:apply-templates 
    select="(if ($input2='') then document($input2) else .)/child::node()"/>
</xsl:template>

Subject: [xsl] Selectively applying Identity transform to 
multiple inputs (Multiplexer Style Sheet)


Dear colleagues,

I have a newbie question.

In my XSLT, in addition to my main input, I am reading a 
second input in my XSLT using the document() function.
The second input's URL is specified via an <xsl:param>:

    <xsl:param name="input2" select="''"></xsl:param>

I need to produce output tree that is either the identity 
transform of the main input or the second input depending 
upon whether the parameter
$input2 is null/empty or not. If it is null/empty then the 
main input should be copied to output tree. If it is not 
null/empty then the second input should be copied to output tree.

I have been unable to do this correctly after much trying.

Can someone provide some guidance on how to accomplish this 
seemingly simple task?

Thanks for your help.
