XSLT 1.0 template Muenchian grouping - templates

I use a tool where a xslt template is pre-defined and it is not desirable to remove it.
<xsl:template match="/">
<Msg xmlns="urn:com.sap.b1i.vplatform:entity">
<xsl:copy-of select="/vpf:Msg/#*"></xsl:copy-of>
<xsl:copy-of select="/vpf:Msg/vpf:Header"></xsl:copy-of>
<Body>
<xsl:copy-of select="/vpf:Msg/vpf:Body/*"></xsl:copy-of>
<Payload Role="X" id="{$atom}">
<xsl:call-template name="transform"></xsl:call-template>
</Payload>
</Body>
</Msg>
<xsl:template name="transform">
<!-- In this area we write our xpath and build the xml-file-->
</xsl:template>
Now I want to use the Muenchian grouping method. But for this method you also need to define a template en key. Like this:
<xsl:key name="KeyOrder" match="/vpf:Msg/vpf:Body/vpf:Payload[#id='atom8']/Orders/jdbc:Row" use="jdbc:RecId2" />
<xsl:template match="Orders" >
<Documents>
<xsl:for-each select="jdbc:Row[count(. | key('KeyOrder', jdbc:RecId2)[1]) = 1]">
<xsl:sort select="jdbc:RecId2" />
<Document>
<xsl:copy-of select="jdbc:RecId2" />
<xsl:for-each select="key('KeyOrder', jdbc:RecId2)">
<xsl:sort select="jdbc:OrderNrRef" />
<xsl:copy-of select="." />
</xsl:for-each>
</Document>
</xsl:for-each>
</Documents>
</xsl:template>
The problem is that the 2 templates won't work togetheter the way I copied it here. That means, I don't get the Muenchian grouping results. It's only works when I 'disable' xsl:template match="/", but then I lose a lot of other information which is necessary further in the process.
So how can I get in my XML file the results of both templates?

Retrieving nodes having (or not) a child to apply a conditional template

I read lot of articles but did not find a conclusive help to my problem.
I have an XML document to which I apply an xslt to get a csv file as output.
I send a parameter to my xsl transformation to filter the target nodes to apply the templates.
The xml document looks like that (I removed some unuseful nodes for comprehension):
<GetMOTransactionsResponse xmlns="http://www.exane.com/pott" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.exane.com/pott PoTTMOTransaction.xsd">
<MOTransaction>
<Transaction VersionNumber="2" TradeDate="2013-11-20">
<TransactionId Type="Risque">32164597</TransactionId>
<InternalTransaction Type="Switch">
<BookCounterparty>
<Id Type="Risque">94</Id>
</BookCounterparty>
</InternalTransaction>
<SalesPerson>
<Id Type="Risque">-1</Id>
</SalesPerson>
</Transaction>
<GrossPrice>58.92</GrossPrice>
<MOAccount Account="TO1E" />
<Entity>0021</Entity>
</MOTransaction>
<MOTransaction>
<Transaction VersionNumber="1" TradeDate="2013-11-20">
<TransactionId Type="Risque">32164598</TransactionId>
<SalesPerson>
<Id Type="Risque">-1</Id>
</SalesPerson>
</Transaction>
<GrossPrice>58.92</GrossPrice>
<MOAccount Account="TO3E" />
<Entity>0021</Entity>
</MOTransaction>
</GetMOTransactionsResponse>
My xslt is below (sorry it's quite long, and I write it more simple than it really is):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

If parameter = BB, I want to select MOTransaction nodes that have a child Transaction that contains a InternalTransaction node.
If parameter = CP, I want to select MOTransaction nodes that don't have a child Transaction that contains a InternalTransaction node
When I write
pott:GetMOTransactionsResponse/pott:MOTransaction/pott:Transaction[pott:InternalTransaction], I get the Transaction nodes and not the MOTransaction nodes
I think I am not very far from the expected result, but despite all my attempts, I fail.
If anyone can help me.
I hope being clear, otherwise I can give more information.
Looking at one of xsl:for-each statements, you are doing this
<xsl:for-each select="pott:GetMOTransactionsResponse/pott:MOTransaction/pott:Transaction[pott:InternalTransaction]">
You say you want to select MOTransaction elements, but it is actually selecting the child Transaction elements. To match the logic you require, it should be this
<xsl:for-each select="pott:GetMOTransactionsResponse/pott:MOTransaction[pott:Transaction[pott:InternalTransaction]]">
In fact, this should also work
<xsl:for-each select="pott:GetMOTransactionsResponse/pott:MOTransaction[pott:Transaction/pott:InternalTransaction]">
Similarly, for the second statement (in the case of the parameter being "CP"), it could look like this
<xsl:for-each select="pott:GetMOTransactionsResponse/pott:MOTransaction[pott:Transaction[not(pott:InternalTransaction)]]">
Alternatively, it could look like this
<xsl:for-each select="pott:GetMOTransactionsResponse/pott:MOTransaction[not(pott:Transaction/pott:InternalTransaction)]">
They are not quite the same though, as the first will only include MOTransaction elements that have Transaction child elements, whereas the second will include MOTransaction that don't have any Transaction childs at all.
As a slight aside, you don't really need to use an xsl:for-each and xsl:call-template here. It might be better to use template matching.
Firstly, try changing the named template <xsl:template name="outputFormat"> to this
<xsl:template match="pott:MOTransaction">
Then, you can re-write you merge the xsl:for-each and xsl:call-template into a single xsl:apply-templates call.
<xsl:apply-template select="pott:GetMOTransactionsResponse/pott:MOTransaction[pott:Transaction/pott:InternalTransaction]" />

How to fold by a tag a group of selected (neighbor) tags with XSLT1?

I have a set of sequential nodes that must be enclosed into a new element. Example:
<root>
<c>cccc</c>
<a gr="g1">aaaa</a> <b gr="g1">1111</b>
<a gr="g2">bbbb</a> <b gr="g2">2222</b>
</root>
that must be enclosed by fold tags, resulting (after XSLT) in:
<root>
<c>cccc</c>
<fold><a gr="g1">aaaa</a> <b gr="g1">1111</b></fold>
<fold><a gr="g2">bbbb</a> <b gr="g2">2222</b></fold>
</root>
So, I have a "label for grouping" (#gr) but not imagine how to produce correct fold tags.
I am trying to use the clues of this question, or this other one... But I have a "label for grouping", so I understand that my solution not needs the use of key() function.
My non-general solution is:
<xsl:template match="/">
<root>
<xsl:copy-of select="root/c"/>
<fold><xsl:for-each select="//*[#gr='g1']">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each></fold>
<fold><xsl:for-each select="//*[#gr='g2']">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each></fold>
</root>
</xsl:template>
I need a general solution (!), looping by all #gr and coping (identity) all context that not have #gr... perhaps using identity transform.
Another (future) problem is to do this recursively, with fold of foldings.
In XSLT 1.0 the standard technique to handle this sort of thing is called Muenchian grouping, and involves the use of a key that defines how the nodes should be grouped and a trick using generate-id to extract just the first node in each group as a proxy for the group as a whole.
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*" />
<xsl:output indent="yes" />
<xsl:key name="elementsByGr" match="*[#gr]" use="#gr" />
<xsl:template match="#*|node()" name="identity">
<xsl:copy><xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/></xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<!-- match the first element with each #gr value -->
<xsl:template match="*[#gr][generate-id() =
generate-id(key('elementsByGr', #gr)[1])]" priority="2">
<fold>
<xsl:for-each select="key('elementsByGr', #gr)">
<xsl:call-template name="identity" />
</xsl:for-each>
</fold>
</xsl:template>
<!-- ignore subsequent ones in template matching, they're handled within
the first element template -->
<xsl:template match="*[#gr]" priority="1" />
</xsl:stylesheet>
This achieves the grouping you're after, but just like your non-general solution it doesn't preserve the indentation and the whitespace text nodes between the a and b elements, i.e. it will give you
<root>
<c>cccc</c>
<fold>
<a gr="g1">aaaa</a>
<b gr="g1">1111</b>
</fold>
<fold>
<a gr="g2">bbbb</a>
<b gr="g2">2222</b>
</fold>
</root>
Note that if you were able to use XSLT 2.0 then the whole thing becomes one for-each-group:
<xsl:template match="root">
<xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-adjacent="#gr">
<xsl:choose>
<!-- wrap each group in a fold -->
<xsl:when test="#gr">
<fold><xsl:copy-of select="current-group()" /></fold>
</xsl:when>
<!-- or just copy as-is for elements that don't have a #gr -->
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy-of select="current-group()" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:template>

Extract Xpaths of all nodes and then their attributes

I am struggling with xslt from the past 2 days, owing to my starter status.My requirement is that given any input XML file ,I want the output to be a list of all the XPaths of all the tags in order in which they appear in the original XML document(parent, then parent,parents Attributes list/child, parent/child/childOFchild and so forth). THe XSLT should not be specific to any single XMl schema. It should work for any XML file, which is a valid one.
Ex:
If the Input XML Is :
<v1:Root>
<v1:UserID>test</v1:UserID>
<v1:Destination>test</v1:Destination>
<v1:entity name="entiTyName">
<v11:attribute name="entiTyName"/>
<v11:attribute name="entiTyName"/>
<v11:attribute name="entiTyName"/>
<v11:filter type="entiTyName">
<v11:condition attribute="entiTyName" operator="eq" value="{FB8D669E-D090-E011-8F43-0050568E222C}"/>
<v11:condition attribute="entiTyName" operator="eq" value="1"/>
</v11:filter>
<v11:filter type="or">
<v11:filter type="or">
<v11:filter type="and">
<v11:filter type="and">
<v11:condition attribute="cir_customerissuecode" operator="not-like" value="03%"/>
</v11:filter>
</v11:filter>
</v11:filter>
</v11:filter>
</v1:entity>
</v1:Root>
I want my output to be :
/v1:Root/v1:UserID
/v1:Root/v1:Destination
/v1:Root/v1:entity/#name
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:attribute
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:attribute/#name
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:attribute[2]
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:attribute[2]/#name
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:attribute[3]
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:attribute[3]/#name

/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter/v11:filter/v11:filter/v11:condition/#operator
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter/v11:filter/v11:filter/v11:condition/#value
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter/v11:filter/v11:filter[2]/#type

/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter/v11:filter/v11:filter[2]/v11:condition/#value
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter/v11:filter/v11:filter[2]/v11:condition[2]
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter/v11:filter/v11:filter[2]/v11:condition[2]/#attribute
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter/v11:filter/v11:filter[2]/v11:condition[2]/#operator
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter/v11:filter/v11:filter[2]/v11:condition[2]/#value
So, it is basically all the XPath of each element ,then the Xpath of the elements Attributes.
I have an XSLT with me, which is like this:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" indent="no" />
<xsl:template match="*[not(child::*)]">
<xsl:for-each select="ancestor-or-self::*">
<xsl:value-of select="concat('/', name())" />
<xsl:if test="count(preceding-sibling::*[name() = name(current())]) != 0">
<xsl:value-of
select="concat('[', count(preceding-sibling::*[name() = name(current())]) + 1, ']')" />
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="*" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
THe output which gets Produced does not cater to complex tags and also the tag's attributes in the resulting Xpath list :(.
Kindly help me in fixing this xslt to produce the output as mentioned above.
THe present output from the above XSLT is like this :
/v1:Root/v1:UserID
/v1:Root/v1:Destination
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:attribute
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:attribute[2]
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:attribute[3]
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:filter/v11:condition
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:filter/v11:condition[2]
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter/v11:filter/v11:filter/v11:condition
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter/v11:filter/v11:filter[2]/v11:condition
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter/v11:filter/v11:filter[2]/v11:condition[2]
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter/v11:condition
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter[2]/v11:condition
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter[2]/v11:condition[2]
/v1:Root/v1:entity/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter[2]/v11:filter[2]/v11:condition[3]
I think there's a discrepancy between your sample input and output, in that the output describes a filter element with two conditions that's not in the source XML. At any rate, I believe this works:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" indent="no" />
<!-- Handle attributes -->
<xsl:template match="#*">
<xsl:apply-templates select="ancestor-or-self::*" mode="buildPath" />
<xsl:value-of select="concat('/#', name())"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
<!-- Handle non-leaf elements (just pass processing downwards) -->
<xsl:template match="*[#* and *]">
<xsl:apply-templates select="#* | *" />
</xsl:template>
<!-- Handle leaf elements -->
<xsl:template match="*[not(*)]">
<xsl:apply-templates select="ancestor-or-self::*" mode="buildPath" />
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*" />
</xsl:template>
<!-- Outputs a path segment for the matched element: '/' + name() + [ordinalPredicate > 1] -->
<xsl:template match="*" mode="buildPath">
<xsl:value-of select="concat('/', name())" />
<xsl:variable name="sameNameSiblings" select="preceding-sibling::*[name() = name(current())]" />
<xsl:if test="$sameNameSiblings">
<xsl:value-of select="concat('[', count($sameNameSiblings) + 1, ']')" />
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<!-- Ignore text -->
<xsl:template match="text()" />
</xsl:stylesheet>

XSLT - how to apply a template to every node of the type?

I am quite new to xsl and functional programming, so I'll be grateful for help on this one:
I have a template that transforms some xml and provides an output. The problem is that there are many elements of type xs:date, all in different contexts, that must be localized. I use a concatenation of substrings of these xs:dates to produce a localized date pattern strings.
As you can guess this causes a lot of copy-paste "substring-this and substring-that". How can I write a template that will automatically transform all the elements of type xs:date to localized strings preserving all the context-aware transformations?
My xsl is something like this:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="utf-8"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
...
<input value="{substring(/select/a/date 9,2)}.{substring(/select/a/date, 6,2)}.{substring(/select/a/date 1,4)}">
...
<!-- assume that following examples are also with substrings -->
<div><xsl:value-of select="different-path/to_date"/></div>
...
<table>
<tr><td><xsl:value-of select="path/to/another/date"/></td></tr>
</table>
<apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="something else">
<!-- more dates here -->
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I hope I managed to make my question clear =)
UPD: Here is an example of xml:
<REQUEST>
<header>
<... />
<ref>
<ref_date type="xs:date">1970-01-01</ref_date>
</ref>
</header>
<general>
<.../>
<info>
<.../>
<date type="xs:date">1970-01-01</date>
<ExpireDate type="xs:date">1970-01-01</ExpireDate>
<RealDate type="xs:date">1970-01-01</RealDate>
<templateDetails>template details</templateDetails>
<effectiveDate type="xs:date">1970-01-01</effectiveDate>
</info>
<party>
<.../>
<date type="xs:date">1970-01-01</date>
</party>
<!-- many other parts of such kind -->
</general>
</REQUEST>
As for the output, there are many different options. The main thing is that these values must be set as a value of different html objects, such as tables, input fields and so on. You can see an example in the xsl listing.
P.S. I'm using xsl 1.0.
If you did a schema-aware XSLT 2.0 transformation, you wouldn't need all those type='xs:date' attributes: defining it in the schema as a date would be enough. You could then match the attributes with
<xsl:template match="attribute(*, xs:date)">
What you could do is add a template to match any element which has an #type attribute of 'xs:date', and do you substring manipulation in there
<xsl:template match="*[#type='xs:date']">
<xsl:value-of select="translate(., '-', '/')" />
</xsl:template>
In this case I am just replacing the hyphens by slashes as an example.
Then, instead of using xsl:value-of....
<div><xsl:value-of select="different-path/to_date"/></div>
You could use xsl:apply-templates
<div><xsl:apply-templates select="different-path/to_date"/></div>
Consider this XSLT as an example
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="*[#type='xs:date']">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:value-of select="translate(., '-', '/')" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
In this case, all this XSLT is doing is copying the XML document as-is, but changing the date elements.
If you wanted to use the date template for other elements, or values, you could also make it a named-template, like so
<xsl:template match="*[#type='xs:date']" name="date">
<xsl:param name="date" select="." />
<xsl:value-of select="translate($date, '-', '/')" />
</xsl:template>
This would allow you to also call it much like a function. For example, to format a data and add as an attribute you could do the following:
<input>
<xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:call-template name="date">
<xsl:with-param name="date" select="/select/a/date" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:attribute>
</input>

Wrapping element in choose construction. How to improve?

Is there any way to optimize this code.
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="val1 = val2">
<xsl:apply-templates select="node"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<div>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node"/>
</div>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
I do not like having to write twice the same <xsl:apply-templates select="node"/>.
Update:
The idea is that depending on the result of comparison to do one of two things:
Just print some information (which we obtain after applying the template <xsl:apply-templates select="node"/>).
Print the same information, but in advance "wrapping" it in the container (div for example).
Use:
<xsl:apply-templates select="node">
<xsl:sort select="not(val1 = val2)"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
Here is a complete example. This transformation:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|#*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|#*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/*">
<t>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node">
<xsl:sort select="not(val1 = val2)"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</t>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="node[not(val1 = val2)]">
<div>
<node>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</node>
</div>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when applied on this XML document:
<t>
<node>
<val1>1</val1>
<val2>2</val2>
</node>
<node>
<val1>3</val1>
<val2>3</val2>
</node>
</t>
produces the wanted, correct result:
<t>
<node>
<val1>3</val1>
<val2>3</val2>
</node>
<div>
<node>
<val1>1</val1>
<val2>2</val2>
</node>
</div>
</t>
Explanation of the solution:
Whenever an <xsl:apply-templates> has an <xsl:sort> child, the nodes that are selected are sorted according the data provided in the <xsl:sort> child(ren) and the results of applying templates on each selected node appear in the output in that (sort) order -- not in document order.
In the transformation above we have:
<xsl:apply-templates select="node">
<xsl:sort select="not(val1 = val2)"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
This means that the results of applying templates to the elements named node for which it is true that val1=val2 will appear before the results of applying templates to the elements named node for which val1=val2 is not true. This is because false sorts before true.
If this explanation is not clear, the reader is directed to read more about <xsl:sort>.
This is hardy possible for that simple example, but if the amount of the wrapping code and the duplicate code are worth bothering, you have two options:
introduce a chain of templates with different modes:
<!-- instead of choose -->
<xsl:apply-template match="." mode="container" />
...
<xsl:template match="container" mode="container">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="dup-group"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="container[val1=val2]" mode="container">
<div>
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="dup-group"/>
</div>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="container" mode="dup-group">
<xsl:apply-templates select="node"/>
<!-- other duplicate code -->
...
</xsl:template>
move a part of code into a separate imported stylesheet and override the template rule in the current stylesheet:
<xsl:template match="container[val1=val2]">
<div>
<xsl:apply-imports />
</div>
</xsl:template>
The xslt you are posting here is not very optimizable. If the code that you don't want to duplicate would be more than two lines, you could optimize by creating a named template and calling that instead. In this example it really doesn't make much sense, but you'll get the idea:
<xsl:when test="val1=val2">
<xsl:call-template name="optimized"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<div>
<xsl:call-template name="optimized"/>
</div>
</xsl:otherwise>
And the template:
<xsl:template name="optimized">
<xsl:apply-templates select="node"/>
</xsl:template>
The called template is in the same context as the calling code, so you can just copy the code you don't want to duplicate to the named template.
