Default values for missing elements
Subject: Default values for missing elements From: "John Hall" <JHALL@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2000 09:56:02 +0100 |
Hello, I need to produce some fixed format files from XML input. This means that I have to put in default values in place of optional elements missing from the input XML. The construct I am using (in about 20 places in my transformation) is: <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="optional-element"><xsl:value-of select="optional-element"/></xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise>default-value</xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> This works, but seems to run slowly. I am using Xalan 1.0. Does anyone know of a better (or faster) way to do this? Regards, John XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
