Hi all,
first my environment: Saxon 8.9, XSL and Xpath 2.0, Java
I have to transform a XML document which contains elements with the same name but different xs:type.
In addition the elements contain an optional validFor element which defines a time period for the validity of the data.
The rules to implement is:
- select element by xsi type
- select the valid (in time period) element
- if no time period specified and multiple elements of the same type exist, take the first one
I have to apply these rules in almost every value-of selection in my XSLT and therefore the XSLT became really a nightmare.
I hope there is a solution to simplify this. I though about xsl:function, dynamic Xpath (saxon:evaluate,..) but couldn't get it to work.
Any help more than appreciated!
