Dear All,

Input XML:

  <map>
     <source>bib-reference</source>
     <source>@id</source>
     <source>@class</source>
     <target>reference/citation</target>
     <target>@id</target>
     <target>@type</target>
  </map>

Required output:

<xsl:template match="bib-reference">
     <xsl:element name="reference">
       <xsl:element name="citation">
        <xsl:attribute name="id">
           <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:attribute name="type">
           <xsl:value-of select="@class"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
     </xsl:element>
  <xsl:element>
 </xsl:template>



Stylesheet used:

<xsl:template match="map">
               <xsl:if test="count(child::*) &gt; 3 and
not(starts-with(source,'@'))">
                       <mac:template match="{source[1]}">
                               <xsl:variable name="nestedele"
select="tokenize(target[1],'/')"/>
                               <xsl:call-template name="buildtree">
                                       <xsl:with-param name="position"
select="1"/>
                               </xsl:call-template>
                       </mac:template>
               </xsl:if>
       </xsl:template>
       <xsl:template name="buildtree">
               <xsl:param name="position"/>
               <xsl:variable name = "element"
select="tokenize(target[1],'/')[$position]"/>
               <xsl:if test = "string($element)">
                       <mac:element name="{$element}">
                              <xsl:for-each select="target">
                               <xsl:if test="not($position = 1) and
exists(source[2])">
                                       <mac:attribute
name="{substring-after(target[$position],'@')}">
                                               <mac:value-of
select="{source[$position]}"/>
                                       </mac:attribute>
                               </xsl:if>
                              </xsl:for-each>
                               <xsl:call-template name="buildtree">
                                       <xsl:with-param name="position"
select="$position +1"/>
                               </xsl:call-template>
                                <mac:apply-templates/>
                       </mac:element>
               </xsl:if>
       </xsl:template>


Ouput with the above stylesheet:

<xsl:template match="bib-reference">
     <xsl:element name="reference">
       <xsl:element name="citation">
        <xsl:attribute name="id">
           <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
     </xsl:element>
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
  <xsl:element>
 </xsl:template>

In the resultant output I am getting template only for first attribute
and 2nd attribute is missing.
<xsl:apply-templates> is appearing twice resulting duplication of the
content. Please suggest how to get the required output.

Thanks & Regards,
Ganesh

You have to be clear on your problem. Best way is to give example of your
XML and xsl and your output and tell where in output you see the problem
Most people in the list are very generous and take extra pains in trying to
understand the problem and suggest a solution. All they are doing is trying
to help you. So, from your side, its always a good practice to really put
down the problem as clear as possible so that its easy for people to answer
( without guessing what your problem could be )

Cheers.

Dear all,

I am facing two problems in the given stylesheet.

1. <xsl:apply-templates/> is coming in both the elements resulting
Duplication of the content.
2. Multiple attributes are not getting created. Only single
Attributing is getting created.

Please guide me how to achieve the above two points.

Regards,
Ganesh

Try the below. ( I just carried it along the way of creating the
children recursively from your target. Add your attributes etc as
necessary ). Just changed from where you had a for-each. Dint check
the other parts of your code. The below produces the result you
wanted.

<xsl:template match="map">
<xsl:if test="count(child::*) &gt; 3 and not(starts-with(source,'@'))">
<mac:template match="{source[1]}">
<xsl:variable name="nestedele"
select="tokenize(target[1],'/')"/>
<xsl:call-template name="buildtree">
<xsl:with-param name="position" select="1"/>

</mac:template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="buildtree">
<xsl:param name="position"/>
<xsl:variable name = "element" select="tokenize(target[1],'/')[$position]
/>
<xsl:if test = "string($element)">
<mac:element name="{$element}">
<xsl:if test="not($position = 1) and exists(source[2])">
<mac:attribute name="{substring-after(target[$position],'@')}">
<mac:value-of select="{source[$position]}"/>
</mac:attribute>

<xsl:call-template name="buildtree">
<xsl:with-param name="position" select="$position +1"/>

Input XML:

<map>
<source>bib-reference</source>
<source>@id</source>
<target>reference/citation</target>
<target>@id</target>
</map>

Required output:
<xsl:template match="bib-reference">
<xsl:element name="reference">
<xsl:element name="citation">
<xsl:attribute name="id">
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

My XSLT:
<xsl:template match="map">
<xsl:when test="count(child::*) &gt; 3 and not(starts-with(source,'@'))">

<mac:template match="{source[1]}">
<xsl:variable name="nestedele"
select="tokenize(target[1],'/')"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$nestedele">
<xsl:variable name="tem" select="."/>
<mac:element name="{$tem}">
<xsl:for-each select="target">
<xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/>
<xsl:if test="not(position()=1) and exists(../source[2])">
<mac:attribute name="{substring-after(.,'@')}">
<mac:value-of select="{../source[$pos]}"/>
</mac:attribute>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<mac:apply-templates/>
</mac:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</mac:template>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:template>

This will create one element after the other but it won't create the
nested one. In a result for bib-reference, two elements will be
created with same content. Which is a wrong one. Please guide me how
to generate the nested element structure.

Ganesh
