RE: [xsl] Restrictions on pattern for the match attribute of the xsl:template element

2009-02-10 12:32:50
Thanks a lot for this. However, this leads me to another question;
what's the difference between

match="Object[PropertyList/Property[Name='Property1][Value='abc']]"

and

match="Object[PropertyList/Property[Name='Property1 and Value='abc']]"

Which one is preferred and why?

I have an XML document like this:
 
============================
<Objects>
      <Object>
              <PropertyList>
                      <Property>
                              <Name>Property1</Name>
                              <Value>abc</Value>
                      </Property>
              </PropertyList>
      </Object>
      <Object>
              <PropertyList>
                      <Property>
                              <Name>Property1</Name>
                              <Value>xyz</Value>
                      </Property>
              </PropertyList>
      </Object>
</Objects>
============================

and I want to extract all <Object> elements except the ones that have 
[Name='Property1' and Value='abc'] (there are several such 
restrictions on Name / Value pairs). I tried the following but the 2nd

match pattern is not allowed in XSLT:

<xsl:template
match="/Objects/*/PropertyList/Property[./Name='Property1'
and ./Value='abc']/../.." priority="1"/>


How could I achieve this?


match="Object[PropertyList/Property[Name='Property1][Value='abc']]"
