Var references in "match" attribute of xsl:template?
Subject: Var references in "match" attribute of xsl:template? From: dkarr@xxxxxxxx (David M. Karr) Date: 09 Nov 2000 09:32:48 -0800 |
Despite reading tons of articles, although not having read "the book" yet, I haven't until now actually had an opportunity to build an XSL stylesheet. I'm using it to generate HTML, but to display in a Java JEditorPane, not in a browser. In this context, I'll probably have several "similar" stylesheets. I'm trying to build them so that duplicated code and strings are minimized. Each stylesheet will represent a "domain class". Inside the stylesheet tag content, I set a "domainClass" variable to the name of the domain class. Obviously, this is one line that will vary between each stylesheet. I use this variable in a couple of places in the "body" of the main template. After that I have a simple "xsl:template" which will match the "root" of the document, and which presents a simple HTML table to list the attributes and values of an object (from the XML data). The name of the root tag element is exactly the same as the domain class. I vaguely remember I've read that the value of the "match" attribute of "xsl:template" cannot reference a variable in any way. If that's true, then I have to duplicate the domain class name in the "domainClass" setting, and in the top-level "xsl:template" tag. It would be nice if I could define the domain class in a single place, and reference it in all the places it is used. Is there any way to do this? -- =============================================================================== David M.
