SCH: initialize a variable during built to XSLT

[DanOvergaard]

Hi,

We have a process where our XSLT's are built by a Schema Schematron process and I need to initialize a variable during built. Is there away to "tell" the process that it should execute an XSL Texpression, not just implement it in the final XLST?

I have tried different approvers to get the following XLST expression executed through the SCH-file, but no luck so fare

Code: Select all

 <xsl:variable name="PartyLegalID"><xsl:value-of select="document('PartyLegalID.xml')//default:Code/default:Id/normalize-space()" separator=","/></xsl:variable>

Rgds,
Dan

Hi Dan,

I don't know if I understand exactly what you intend tot do. Maybe you can send us a sample Schematron file and explain what you want to obtain.
The XSLT content from the Schematron will be automatically executed. For your example, if you use <sch:value-of select="$PartyLegalID"/> in the Schematron assert, you will obtain the value from the "PartyLegalID.xml" document.

Hi Octavian,

I look for a way to initialize the variable “PartyLegalID” during the schema schematron build process, with the values from the PartyLegalID.xml (See below). So I try to implement something like

• In the sch-file I have an empty variable called “PartyLegalID”

• During build, the variable should be initialized with the values from the “PartyLegalID.xml” and then used to create the variable in the final xsl-file - where it should look like:
  • <xsl:variable name="PartyLegalID " select="',DK:CVR,ZZZ,'"/>

Xml-file that holds the values

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CodeList xmlns="erst.dk:2023:structure:CodeList-1">
    <Title>PartyLegalID</Title>
    <Code>
        <Id>DK:CVR</Id>
        <Name>Juridisk identifikation af virksomheden</Name>
    </Code>
    <Code>
        <Id>ZZZ</Id>
        <Name>Angivelse af at virksomheden er udenlandsk</Name>
    </Code>
</CodeList>

Note
Original the variables were initialized in the sch-file (See below), but I have been requested to move the values out of the sch-file an into a separate XML-file (mainly due to maintenance/documentation reasons) and the “PartyLegalID” variables are only one are many (some huge) that I need to be “moved”.


Original variable initialization

Code: Select all

<sch:let name="PartyLegalID_old"          value="',DK:CVR,ZZZ,'"/>

I hope that clarify what I am trying to achieve

Rgds,

It looks to me as if you should be able to use the other document in a Schematron variable e.g.

Code: Select all

<sch:let name="PartyLegalId"
        value="doc('PartyLegalId.xml')//*:defaultId/normalize-space() => string-join(',')"/>

(queryBinding="xslt3") or

Code: Select all

<sch:let name="PartyLegalId"
        value="string-join(doc('PartyLegalId.xml')//*:defaultId/normalize-space(), ',')"/>

for XSLT 2.

There might be better ways with namespace and the original path you had but the main idea is to just use sch:let value with an XPath expression that selects/computes the value you want.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your reply

Unfortunately, it didn't import the values from the external XML file during the process from SCH to XSL.

I am trying to get the SCH file to import the values during build and insert the result in the final XSL file, so the variable "PartyLegalID" = "DK:CVR,ZZZ" (I can't just put the values in the definition of the variable as the values are maintained in another system)

I might need to open the build process, but it has run for years and there is no documentation or source code

If you have any good suggestions, please let me know

Rgds,
Dan
