Re: [xsl] XSL Trnasfromation - Is it possible to do a bottom up transformation?

Micheal,

To clarify, here are the source and example of transformed xmls:

Source Tree:
=========
<orderline>

Issue:
====
When the template matches line with LineNumber 1, the UnitPrice for
LineNumber 1.1, 2, 3 are not yet know. So what values will the
function take to calculate?

I have not tried using the below rule, will try :
<xsl:template match="unitPrice[../itemTypeCode = '3']">
   <xsl:copy><xsl:value-of select="sum(../unitPrice[1] div
../quantity[1])" /></xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Thanks,
Raghu

The problem is here you are transforming top down.

I don't understand your fixation with these terms bottom-up and top-down.
Think functionally: x is a function of y. And it really doesn't matter
whether a transformation is top-down, bottom-up, outside-in, or inside-out,
so long as it produces the right answer.

If Abel's solution produces the wrong answer then you need to explain the
requirement more clearly. Sample input and output is often useful if it's
difficult to explain it in clear English.
