Re: [xsl] XSLT: Taking Value of One Attribute and Smearing it Across multiple times

Hi Torsten,

The difference is that the putValue template will be called lon(n) times while the recursion template will be called n times. For large values of n that can be a problem both in term of execution time and stack memory.

Best Regards,
George

Dear Rex, George and David,

maybe I got it wrong, but wouldn't the following be a much simpler solution?

<xsl:template match="offers">
<xsl:call-template name="recursion">
<xsl:with-param name="start"><xsl:value-of select="fcst/@start_hr"/></xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="end"><xsl:value-of select="fcst/@end_hr"/></xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="value"><xsl:value-of select="fcst/@value"/></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="recursion">
<xsl:param name="start"/>
<xsl:param name="end"/>
<xsl:param name="value"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$start &lt; $end">
<xsl:value-of select="$value"/>
<xsl:call-template name="recursion">
<xsl:with-param name="start"><xsl:value-of select="$start + 1"/></xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="end"><xsl:value-of select="$end"/></xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="value"><xsl:value-of select="$value"/></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$value"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Anyway, just to point it out again, in XSLT 1.0 the problem is solved with recursive call-templates and passing the template a param (not variable!).

Best, Torsten
