calling one xslt file from base xslt - xslt1.0 - xslt

I went through many other similar questions and answers in stackoverflow. But still not able to resolve the issue. If anyone can help me with it that would be really great.I am using call template to call one small xslt file from my larger xslt
My small xslt(WorkOrders.xsl) is very simple. Below is the part of my xslt:
<xsl:template match="GetWorkOrder">
<tns:Work>
<tns:description>
<xsl:value-of select="//ns0:WORKORDERS_ITEM/ns0:DESCRIPTION"/>
</tns:description>
<tns:workOrderNumber>
<xsl:value-of select="//ns0:WORKORDERS_ITEM/ns0:WORKORDER"/>
</tns:workOrderNumber>
</tns:Work>
</xsl:template>
I want to call WorkOrder.xsl from my base xslt. i am using the import statement
part of my base xslt. (i have got rid of the extra xml definitions to shorten the xslt for this question)
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:oraxsl="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java">
<xsl:import href="../Transformation/WorkOrders.xsl"/>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I receive an error message saying GetWorkOrder template is been called but not defied. Not sure what i am missing

Your template isn't named GridWalkOrder, you've defined it as matching an element of that name rather than naming the template. Use
<xsl:template name="GetWorkOrder">
instead.

Unknown function saxon:parse-html when compiling stylesheet

I am working on an XSL transformation on Oxygen using the Saxon-EE 10.3 transformer. I want to use the compiled stylesheet (sef.json) later on my website with Saxon-JS 2.
Inside of the XSL transformation I am using the saxon:parse-html function with the saxon namespace declared as following:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:prop="http://saxonica.com/ns/html-property"
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:style="http://saxonica.com/ns/html-style-property"
xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:ixsl="http://saxonica.com/ns/interactiveXSLT"
xmlns:js="http://saxonica.com/ns/globalJS"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs prop ixsl js style saxon xhtml"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="3.0"
xpath-default-namespace="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"
xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
and the function is called this way:
<xsl:call-template name="nameTemplate">
<xsl:with-param name="html">
<xsl:copy-of select="saxon:parse-html(var)"></xsl:copy-of>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
I tried to compile the stylesheet through this command:
xslt3 -xsl:test.xsl -export:test.sef.json -t
but I encounter the following error:
Failed to compile stylesheet: Static error in XPath on line 147 in Oxygen/Test.xsl {saxon:parse-html(?Text)}: Unknown function Q{http://saxon.sf.net/}parse-html()
Error Q{http://www.w3.org/2005/xqt-errors}XPST0017 at xpath.xsl#963

Static error in XPath on line 147 in Oxygen/Test.xsl {saxon:parse-html(?Text)}: Unknown function Q{http://saxon.sf.net/}parse-html()
The transformation works without problem inside Oxygen though.
You might need to call into JavaScript e.g. set up a script element
<script>
function parseHTML(html) { return new DOMParser().parseFromString(html, 'text/html'); }
</script>
in your HTML document and then inside of XSLT with Saxon JS 2 in the browser you should be able to use e.g.
ixsl:window() => ixsl:get('parseHTML') => ixsl:apply([var])
instead of saxon:parse-html(var), with a namespace declaration of xmlns:ixsl="http://saxonica.com/ns/interactiveXSLT" in your XSLT.
Another way to not require you to set up the script code in addition to the XSLT code is to use ixsl:eval to run the JavaScript directly from XSLT in Saxon-JS 2; I have set up an example at https://martin-honnen.github.io/saxon-js-parse-html-test/html/test-saxon-parse-html2.html which basically uses an implementation
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="3.0"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/"
xmlns:ixsl="http://saxonica.com/ns/interactiveXSLT"
exclude-result-prefixes="#all"
expand-text="yes">
<xsl:function name="saxon:parse-html" as="document-node()" use-when="system-property('xsl:product-name') = 'Saxon-JS'">
<xsl:param name="html" as="xs:string"/>
<xsl:sequence select="ixsl:eval('new DOMParser()') => ixsl:call('parseFromString', [$html, 'text/html'])"/>
</xsl:function>
</xsl:stylesheet>
of the XSLT 3 module https://github.com/martin-honnen/saxon-js-parse-html-test/blob/master/xslt/override-saxon-parse-html2.xsl.
You can xsl:import that in your other XSLT code, as done in https://github.com/martin-honnen/saxon-js-parse-html-test/blob/master/xslt/test-override-saxon-parse.xsl with e.g. <xsl:import href="override-saxon-parse-html2.xsl"/> and call e.g. saxon:parse-html(.).
I managed to compile that code to an SEF file with the settings xslt3 -xsl:test-override-saxon-parse.xsl -nogo -export:test-override-saxon-parse. -sef.json -ns:"##html5" and that way the HTML page https://martin-honnen.github.io/saxon-js-parse-html-test/html/test-saxon-parse-html2.html can simply run that XSLT with
SaxonJS.transform({
stylesheetLocation: '../xslt/test-override-saxon-parse.sef.json',
sourceLocation: '../xml/sample2.xml',
destination: 'appendToBody'
}, 'async')
As an alternative, you could import the pure XSLT 2 HTML parser that David Carlisle has somewhere on GitHub into your XSLT code.

Value-of select in <a href=> (XSLT)

I try to concstruct link with
<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="concat('file:///', substring-before('%RolesPath%', 'roles'),'Flores.chm')"/>
</xsl:attribute>
Help
</xsl:element>
but I get error:
File file:///Flores.chm not found
I'm pretty sure, that variable %RolesPath% works fine. I'm using it in code normally. And if I use in code only
<xsl:value-of select="concat('file:///', substring-before('%RolesPath%', 'roles'),'Flores.chm')"/>
I get
file:///C:\Flores\Flores.chm
which is right path. Where I'm doing mistake please?
edit. %RolesPath% stores path to specify folder of program, which works with this code. In my case %RolesPath% stores "C:\Flores\roles\".
To specify my problem. I need open file(Flores.chm) in root folder of program. Program can be install everywhere in PC and prapably only way, how I can get the path is via %RolesPath%.
What you are passing to substring-before() is just a string ('%RolesPath%'). It appears that you are trying to use a Windows environment variable. This isn't going to work the way you're using it.
I think you have 2 options:
Option 1
Pass the value of the environment variable as an xsl:param when you call the stylesheet. This would work in either XSLT 1.0 or 2.0.
You would need the xsl:param:
<xsl:param name="RolesPath"/>
and this is how you would reference it:
<a href="{concat('file:///', substring-before($RolesPath, 'roles'),'Flores.chm')}"/>
Option 2
Use the environment-variable() function. This would only work with an XSLT 3.0 processor, such as Saxon-PE or EE.
Example:
<a href="{concat('file:///', substring-before(environment-variable('RolesPath'), 'roles'),'Flores.chm')}"/>
Here's another example of environment-variable() to show the function actually working:
XSLT 3.0
<xsl:stylesheet version="3.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<environment-variable name="TEMP" value="{environment-variable('TEMP')}"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Output (when applied to any well-formed XML)
<environment-variable name="TEMP" value="C:\Users\dhaley\AppData\Local\Temp"/>
Use this shorter expression:
<a href="file:///{substring-before($RolesPath, 'roles')}Flores.chm"/>
where $RolesPath is passed as an external, global parameter to the transformation.
How exactly to pass an external parameter to the transformation varies from one XSLT processor to another -- read your XSLT processor documentation. Some XSLT processors also allow string-typed parameters to be passed to the transformation from a command-line execution utility.

Exclude certain child nodes when data structure is unknown

EDIT -
I've figured out the solution to my problem and posted a Q&A here.
I'm looking to process XML conforming to the Library of Congress EAD standard (found here). Unfortunately, the standard is very loose regarding the structure of the XML.
For example the <bioghist> tag can exist within the <archdesc> tag, or within a <descgrp> tag, or nested within another <bioghist> tag, or a combination of the above, or can be left out entirely. I've found it to be very difficult to select just the bioghist tag I'm looking for without also selecting others.
Below are a few different possible EAD XML documents my XSLT might have to process:
First example
<ead>
<eadheader>
<archdesc>
<bioghist>one</bioghist>
<dsc>
<c01>
<descgrp>
<bioghist>two</bioghist>
</descgrp>
<c02>
<descgrp>
<bioghist>
<bioghist>three</bioghist>
</bioghist>
</descgrp>
</c02>
</c01>
</dsc>
</archdesc>
</eadheader>
</ead>
Second example
<ead>
<eadheader>
<archdesc>
<descgrp>
<bioghist>
<bioghist>one</bioghist>
</bioghist>
</descgrp>
<dsc>
<c01>
<c02>
<descgrp>
<bioghist>three</bioghist>
</descgrp>
</c02>
<bioghist>two</bioghist>
</c01>
</dsc>
</archdesc>
</eadheader>
</ead>
Third example
<ead>
<eadheader>
<archdesc>
<descgrp>
<bioghist>one</bioghist>
</descgrp>
<dsc>
<c01>
<c02>
<bioghist>three</bioghist>
</c02>
</c01>
</dsc>
</archdesc>
</eadheader>
</ead>
As you can see, an EAD XML file might have a <bioghist> tag almost anywhere. The actual output I'm suppose to produce is too complicated to post here. A simplified example of the output for the above three EAD examples might be like:
Output for First example
<records>
<primary_record>
<biography_history>first</biography_history>
</primary_record>
<child_record>
<biography_history>second</biography_history>
</child_record>
<granchild_record>
<biography_history>third</biography_history>
</granchild_record>
</records>
Output for Second example
<records>
<primary_record>
<biography_history>first</biography_history>
</primary_record>
<child_record>
<biography_history>second</biography_history>
</child_record>
<granchild_record>
<biography_history>third</biography_history>
</granchild_record>
</records>
Output for Third example
<records>
<primary_record>
<biography_history>first</biography_history>
</primary_record>
<child_record>
<biography_history></biography_history>
</child_record>
<granchild_record>
<biography_history>third</biography_history>
</granchild_record>
</records>
If I want to pull the "first" bioghist value and put that in the <primary_record>, I can't simply <xsl:apply-templates select="/ead/eadheader/archdesc/bioghist", as that tag might not be a direct descendant of the <archdesc> tag. It might be wrapped by a <descgrp> or a <bioghist> or a combination thereof. And I can't select="//bioghist", because that will pull all the <bioghist> tags. I can't even select="//bioghist[1]" because there might not actually be a <bioghist> tag there and then I'll be pulling the value below the <c01>, which is "Second" and should be processed later.
This is already a long post, but one other wrinkle is that there can be an unlimited number of <cxx> nodes, nested up to twelve levels deep. I'm currently processing them recursively. I've tried saving the node I'm currently processing (<c01> for example) as a variable called 'RN', then running <xsl:apply-templates select=".//bioghist [name(..)=name($RN) or name(../..)=name($RN)]">. This works for some forms of EAD, where the <bioghist> tag isn't nested too deeply, but it will fail if it ever has to process an EAD file created by someone who loves wrapping tags in other tags (which is totally fine according to the EAD Standard).
What I'd love is someway of saying
Get any <bioghist> tag anywhere below the current node but
don't dig deeper if you hit a <c??> tag
I hope that I've made the situation clear. Please let me know if I've left anything ambiguous. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
As the requirements are rather vague, any answer only reflects the guesses its author has made.
Here is mine:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:my="my:my" exclude-result-prefixes="my">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<my:names>
<n>primary_record</n>
<n>child_record</n>
<n>grandchild_record</n>
</my:names>
<xsl:variable name="vNames" select="document('')/*/my:names/*"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select=
"//bioghist[following-sibling::node()[1]
[self::descgrp]
]"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="bioghist">
<xsl:variable name="vPos" select="position()"/>
<xsl:element name="{$vNames[position() = $vPos]}">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When this transformation is applied on the provided XML document:
<ead>
<eadheader>
<archdesc>
<bioghist>first</bioghist>
<descgrp>
<bioghist>first</bioghist>
<bioghist>
<bioghist>first</bioghist></bioghist>
</descgrp>
<dsc>
<c01>
<bioghist>second</bioghist>
<descgrp>
<bioghist>second</bioghist>
<bioghist>
<bioghist>second</bioghist></bioghist>
</descgrp>
<c02>
<bioghist>third</bioghist>
<descgrp>
<bioghist>third</bioghist>
<bioghist>
<bioghist>third</bioghist></bioghist>
</descgrp>
</c02>
</c01>
</dsc>
</archdesc>
</eadheader>
</ead>
the wanted result is produced:
<primary_record>first</primary_record>
<child_record>second</child_record>
<grandchild_record>third</grandchild_record>
I worked out a solution on my own and posted it at this Q&A because the solution is quite specific to a certain XML standard and seemed out of the scope of this question. If people feel it would be best to post it here as well, I can update this answer with a copy.

XSLT - Two seperate data sources merged into one XSLT

I've have two XML data sources which are completly seperate. UserDetails.xml and UserSites.xml.
The UserDetails.xml contains:
<a:UserDetails>
<a:user>
<a:username>Clow</a:username>
<a:userid>9834</a:userid>
</a:user>
<a:user>
<a:username>Adam</a:username>
<a:userid>9867</a:userid>
</a:user>
</a:UserDetails>
UserSites.xml contains:
<a:UserSites>
<a:site>
<a:createdby>9834</a:userid>
<a:type>blog</a:type>
</a:site>
<a:site>
<a:createdby>9867</a:username>
<a:type>web</a:type>
</a:site>
What I would like to do is use data in both of these data sources to indicate which users have sites created and what type of site they have.
How can this be made possible in XSLT 1.0?
Use the document function to access nodes in an external document
For example, the following stylesheet applied to UserDetails.xml:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:a="a">
<xsl:template match="/">
<test>
<xsl:value-of
select="document('UserSites.xml')/a:UserSites/a:site/a:createdby"/>
</test>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Outputs the following result from UserSites.xml:
9834
Note: Your example XML is not well-formed, so I had to make minor adjustments before processing.

Can an XSLT insert the current date?

A program we use in my office exports reports by translating a XML file it exports with an XSLT file into XHTML. I'm rewriting the XSLT to change the formatting and to add more information from the source XML File.
I'd like to include the date the file was created in the final report. But the current date/time is not included in the original XML file, nor do I have any control on how the XML file is created. There doesn't seem to be any date functions building into XSLT that will return the current date.
Does anyone have any idea how I might be able to include the current date during my XSLT transformation?
XSLT 2
Date functions are available natively, such as:
<xsl:value-of select="current-dateTime()"/>
There is also current-date() and current-time().
XSLT 1
Use the EXSLT date and times extension package.
Download the date and times package from GitHub.
Extract date.xsl to the location of your XSL files.
Set the stylesheet header.
Import date.xsl.
For example:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:date="http://exslt.org/dates-and-times"
extension-element-prefixes="date"
...>
<xsl:import href="date.xsl" />
<xsl:template match="//root">
<xsl:value-of select="date:date-time()"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Do you have control over running the transformation? If so, you could pass in the current date to the XSL and use $current-date from inside your XSL. Below is how you declare the incoming parameter, but with knowing how you are running the transformation, I can't tell you how to pass in the value.
<xsl:param name="current-date" />
For example, from the bash script, use:
xsltproc --stringparam current-date `date +%Y-%m-%d` -o output.html path-to.xsl path-to.xml
Then, in the xsl you can use:
<xsl:value-of select="$current-date"/>
For MSXML parser, try this:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:my="urn:sample" extension-element-prefixes="msxsl">
<msxsl:script language="JScript" implements-prefix="my">
function today()
{
return new Date();
}
</msxsl:script>
<xsl:template match="/">
Today = <xsl:value-of select="my:today()"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Also read XSLT Stylesheet Scripting using msxsl:script and Extending XSLT with JScript, C#, and Visual Basic .NET
...
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:local="urn:local" extension-element-prefixes="msxsl">
<msxsl:script language="CSharp" implements-prefix="local">
public string dateTimeNow()
{
return DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ");
}
</msxsl:script>
...
<xsl:value-of select="local:dateTimeNow()"/>
Late answer, but my solution works in Eclipse XSLT. Eclipse uses XSLT 1 at time of this writing. You can install an XSLT 2 engine like Saxon. Or you can use the XSLT 1 solution below to insert current date and time.
<xsl:value-of select="java:util.Date.new()"/>
This will call Java's Data class to output the date. It will not work unless you also put the following "java:" definition in your <xsl:stylesheet> tag.
<xsl:stylesheet [...snip...]
xmlns:java="java"
[...snip...]>
I hope that helps someone. This simple answer was difficult to find for me.
format-date(current-date(), '[M01]/[D01]/[Y0001]') = 09/19/2013
format-time(current-time(), '[H01]:[m01] [z]') = 09:26 GMT+10
format-dateTime(current-dateTime(), '[h1]:[m01] [P] on [MNn] [D].') = 9:26 a.m. on September 19.
