Generating tree-structure with xsl

Post by Cordoba »

Hello experts,

I want to diplay the same tree-structure with XSL as it is in my XML file.
The structure is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<CONTACT>
<CONTACTDATE>...</CONTACTDATE>
<CONTACTTIME>...</CONTACTTIME>
.
.
<CONTACT>
<CONTACTDATE>...</CONTACTDATE>
<CONTACTTIME>...</CONTACTTIME>
.
.
</CONTACT>
<CONTACT>
<CONTACTDATE>...</CONTACTDATE>
<CONTACTTIME>...</CONTACTTIME>
.
.
</CONTACT>
</CONTACT>

How can i get a useful XSL -File with <xsl:for-each select="CONTACT"> or such a thing.
I've already tried to use a recursive Procedure, but the problem is, that all the XML-Nodes have the same name ("CONTACT").
Can somebody help me?

Thanks

Cordoba

Hi Cordoba,

You can start from the following copy template. It matches any node and then copies it and all its content to the output.

Code: Select all


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="node() | @*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Best Regards,
George
