RE: [xsl] XSL new user question: no output from a simple XSLT

Hi,

You need to use namespaces and XPath correctly.

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
 xpath-default-namespace="http://www.ca.com/erwin/data";  
xmlns="http://www.ca.com/erwin/data";>
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates />
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="Subject_Area_Groups">
    <Subject_Areas>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="Subject_Area"/>
    </Subject_Areas>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="Subject_Area">
    <Subject_Area>
      <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
   </Subject_Area>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Subject: [xsl] XSL new user question: no output from a simple XSLT

Hi,

I'm new to XSLT, working my way through O'Reilly's XSLT and reading Michael 
Kay's XSLT Reference. At the moment, I'm stuck on some simple XSLT. I have 
looked through the dpawson.com  and www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/ 
for solutions but cannot find anything that solves this problem.

Can anyone help?

The aim is to transform a complex xml file called Subject_Area_Groups.xml, see 
below for a sample of this xml:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Subject_Area_Groups xmlns="http://www.ca.com/erwin/data";
xmlns:UDP="http://www.ca.com/erwin/metadata";
                     xmlns:EMX="http://www.ca.com/erwin/data";
                     xmlns:EM2="http://www.ca.com/erwin/EM2data";>

<Subject_Area id="{39146A35-A713-4CAA-9FBF-9AA575FA9F44}+0000001F"
name="&lt;Main Subject Area&gt;">
      <Subject_AreaProps>
         <Built-in_Id>31</Built-in_Id>
         <Definition/>
         <Name>&lt;Main Subject Area&gt;</Name>

<Long_Id>{39146A35-A713-4CAA-9FBF-9AA575FA9F44}+0000001F</Long_Id>
         <Referenced_Entities_Array>
            <Referenced_Entities
index="0">{0EA17FA0-D21B-4F1E-8B11-A250A6CF266C}+00000000</Referenced_En
tities>
            <Referenced_Entities
index="1">{1F3E974C-F180-45EB-AB59-4D1ACF4BB855}+00000000</Referenced_En
tities>
            <Referenced_Entities
index="2">{3F9BEEE0-35DB-4835-A89E-F2B240EC2CB0}+00000000</Referenced_En
tities>
            <Referenced_Entities
index="3">{24950777-C260-41D2-BEC2-C242E9D642F6}+00000000</Referenced_En
tities>
         </Referenced_Entities_Array>
      </Subject_AreaProps>
</Subject_Area>
<Subject_Area id="{AA629B89-1467-49AC-905F-85A4C4FAC6E3}+00000000"
name="Account - Links">
      <Subject_AreaProps>
         <Definition/>
         <Name>Account - Links</Name>

<Long_Id>{AA629B89-1467-49AC-905F-85A4C4FAC6E3}+00000000</Long_Id>
         <Referenced_Entities_Array>
            <Referenced_Entities
index="0">{7636E0B4-81C3-425A-A465-785583E7900A}+00000000</Referenced_En
tities>
         </Referenced_Entities_Array>
      </Subject_AreaProps>
</Subject_Area>
</Subject_Area_Groups>

into a simple list of Subject_Areas:

<Subject_Areas>

  <Subject_Area>

    <Main Subject Area>

  </Subject_Area>

  <Subject_Area>

     Account - Links

   </Subject_Area>

</Subject_Areas>


The XSLT that I have written so far is:

<?xml version='1.0'?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:output method="xml"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

  <xsl:apply-templates select="/Subject_Area"/>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/Subject_Area">

 <Subject_Areas>

  <xsl:value-of select="/Subject_Area/text()"/>

 </Subject_Areas>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Unfortunately, this is not giving any output.

Can anyone see what is wrong with the above XSLT?

The XSLT processor used was Saxon 8.8.0.4J.

Best regards,

Mike
