Hi,
I'm trying to keep my xsl DRY and as a result I wanted to call the same template for 2 sections of an XML document which happen to be the same complex type (ContactDetails and AltContactDetails). Given the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RootNode>
<Name>Bob</Name>
<ContactDetails>
<Address>
<Line1>1 High Street</Line1>
<Town>TownName</Town>
<Postcode>AB1 1CD</Postcode>
</Address>
<Email>[email protected]</Email>
</ContactDetails>
<AltContactDetails>
<Address>
<Line1>3 Market Square</Line1>
<Town>TownName</Town>
<Postcode>EF2 2GH</Postcode>
</Address>
<Email>[email protected]</Email>
</AltContactDetails>
</RootNode>
I wrote an XSL Stylesheet as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<PersonsName>
<xsl:value-of select="RootNode/Name"/>
</PersonsName>
<xsl:call-template name="ContactDetails">
<xsl:with-param name="data"><xsl:value-of select="RootNode/ContactDetails"/></xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="elementName"><xsl:value-of select="'FirstAddress'"/></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:call-template name="ContactDetails">
<xsl:with-param name="data"><xsl:value-of select="RootNode/AltContactDetails"/></xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="elementName"><xsl:value-of select="'SecondAddress'"/></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="ContactDetails">
<xsl:param name="data"></xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="elementName"></xsl:param>
<xsl:element name="{$elementName}">
<FirstLine>
<xsl:value-of select="$data/Address/Line1"/>
</FirstLine>
<Town>
<xsl:value-of select="$data/Address/Town"/>
</Town>
<PostalCode>
<xsl:value-of select="$data/Address/Postcode"/>
</PostalCode>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When i try to run the style sheet it's complaining to me that I need to:
To use a result tree fragment in a path expression, either use exsl:node-set() or specify version 1.1
I don't want to go to version 1.1.. So does anyone know how to get the exsl:node-set() working for the above example?
Or if someone knows of a better way to apply the same template to 2 different sections then that would also really help me out?
Thanks
Dave
