My transform fails due to the root element template being executed a
second time.
A neat general way to avoid such problems is to use modes.
So, instead of:
<xsl:apply-templates select="$myActionSet"/>
use:
<xsl:apply-templates select="$myActionSet" mode="doc2OrABetterName"/>
And, you need to provide a different matching template (in the specified mode).

Hi All,
I am trying to use the doc( ) function, in XSLT 2.0, to get a second input
file in one of my transforms. The primary input contains an element
“refActionSet” that triggers the logic to fetch the second input.
Within that template I do:
<xsl:variable name="myActionSet"
select="doc('file://sashq/root/pub/pubs_xiswork/sascrs/prod/v16/eclipse/workspace/castest/xml/actions.xml')"/>
Which is successfully getting the second file. I know this because I can
write out to the log the contents of the file and I see the text (no
markup).
But when I try to process this second file using:
<xsl:apply-templates select="$myActionSet"/>
My transform fails due to the root element template being executed a
second time. In the root template I setup some java extension processes that
can only be run once so the second time through they cause the transform to
fail.
I’ve tried to solve the problem two different ways, but neither works.
First I tried adding a xpath specification to the doc function so that the
returned XML would start at the element I was interested in, like so:
<xsl:variable name="myActionSet"
select="doc('file://sashq/root/pub/pubs_xiswork/sascrs/prod/v16/eclipse/workspace/castest/xml/actions.xml')//actionSet[@id=’abc’]"/>
but that caused the function to fail and not fetch the second file. I also
tried a fragment specification “#actionSet” but this also failed.
I then tried to kick the second input files root element out of my root
template with a test for ancestor-or-self::casActions and a test for
descendant-or-self::casActions. But neither of these tests worked on the
fetched second file.
Any help would be appreciated in solving this problem.
Here’s a few lines from the second input file that I am trying to process.
It does have a namespace and I wonder if that could be part of the problem
since my first input file is in no namespace.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<casActions version="1.0" xml:lang="en"
xmlns="http://www.sas.com/xml/namespace/sas_doc_cas_actions-1.0"; date="Tue
Apr 14 07:31:01 2015" branch="v9cas">
<actionSet id="cas.tkds1" date="Mon Apr 13 22:18:33 2015" name="tkds1"
dvdname="cas" scriptname="tkds1" prmname="tkds1">
<label id="cas.tkds1.__label" key="TKDS1_LABEL_LIBRARY" dvd="cas"
msgfile="tkmds1">DATA Step</label>
<action id="cas.tkds1.execPgm" name="execPgm" entry="execpgm">
<label id="cas.tkds1.execPgm.__label" key="TKDS1_LABEL_EXECPGM"
dvd="cas" msgfile="tkmds1">Execute DATA Step</label>
Thanks for the help,
Craig
