Assume XSLT2.0 (but am willing to hear about 3.0 solutions)
Given this (cut down) schema.

targetNamespace="urn:midas"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:complexType name="IssuerSummaryType">

<xs:element name="HIOSid" type="HIOSIDType"/>
<xs:element name="issuerExtractDate" type="xs:date"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
I would like to substitute in the following instance with the element
names
<midas>
<issuerSummary>
<field id="1">01</field>
<field id="2">54631</field>
<field id="3">VA</field>
<field id="4">11512</field>
<field id="5">04222016</field>
</issuerSummary>
such that the field with @id =1 has element name recordCode and the field
with @id=2 has element name tradingPartner etc.
So you see why I say I really need a zipper as I want to interleave the
element names from the schema with the data in the instance.
The @id attributes in the instance are actually a hack, they were supposed
to support something along the lines of
<xsl:template match="field">
<xsl:element name="{xs:element[current()/@id]}>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
However I keep getting a zero-length string error on the xsl:element.
Even more hackish I thought of creating a mock schema to use for the
transformation and sticking a count attribute on the element like so.
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
exclude-result-prefixes="xs" version="3.0">
<xsl:import href="identity.xsl"/>
<xsl:template match="xs:sequence/xs:element">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:attribute name="count" select="position()"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Weirdly I get the counter going up in increments of 2
<xs:complexType name="IssuerSummaryType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element count="2" name="recordCode">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="Text2Type">
<xs:enumeration value="01"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element count="4" name="tradingPartner"
type="TradingPartnerType"/>
<xs:element count="6" name="issuerStateCode" type="Text2Type"/>
<xs:element count="8" name="HIOSid" type="HIOSIDType"/>
<xs:element count="10" name="issuerExtractDate" type="xs:date"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
I'm all ears for a diagnosis and better ways of accomplishing this. There
should be an elegant solution to this and I expect my hacks are taking me
further and further away from it.
