[xsl] dynamically extending xslt
Subject: [xsl] dynamically extending xslt From: "Marco Plum" <m.plum@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2005 14:27:37 +0200 |
Hi, we are developing a new correspondence-system based on XML. Our DTD is very similar to XHTML with some additional structures like selections, iterations and variableplaceholders. The composition of these documents will be realized as a XSLT-stylesheet. I wrote a stylesheet wich transforms a document into a XSLT-stylesheet. This (produced) stylesheet will be used on a XML-file containing the variablevalues and the data needed to resolve the logical structures (e.g. selections etc.). My problem is, that the user will be allowed to add elements to a document, wich can contain anything allowed by the dtd. An example: <document> <body> <topic> <selection variable="aVariable"> <item value="1"> <textblock>some text</textblock> </item> </selection> </topic> </body> </document> This would be transformed into: <document> <body> <topic> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="//variable[@name='aVariable'] = 1"> <textblock>some text</textblock> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> </topic> </body> </document> After this transformation the user is able to add another "topic" to the document, which could contain another selection. And I need this new content executed, after it is transformed into xslt. One possible solution is to produce the stylesheet again, after the user made his changes. But it has to be possible to "map" between the stylesheet and the original document. I thought about the possibility of using <xsl:include> but I didnt come to solution. So what Im looking for, is a way, to dynamically extend an XSLT-stylesheet... Could "template reference" be a way to solve my problem? Any other ideas are appreaciated! Best regards, Marco Plum P.S. We are using XSLT 1.0 with MSXML on windows. But if possible, the xsl should also work on XALAN (JAVA and IBM HOST)
