Below are the Xpath I used
1) CopyIntoItemsResult <xsl:value-of select="/*[local-name()='Envelope']/*[local-name()='Body']/*[local-name()='SharepointResponse']/*[local-name()='Sharepoint_Response']/*[local-name()='CopyIntoItemsResponse']/*[local-name()='CopyIntoItemsResult']/text()"/>

3) DestinationUrl /*[local-name()='Envelope']/*[local-name()='Body']/*[local-name()='SharepointResponse']/*[local-name()='Sharepoint_Response']/*[local-name()='CopyIntoItemsResponse']/*[local-name()='Results']/*[local-name()='CopyResult']/#*[local-name()='DestinationUrl']
The problem is I am not getting any values for and I am not able to figure it out where I am doing it wrong?
Can anyone please help.
You don't really show your XSLT but it depends on your template match. If you used the asterisk (*), your XPaths should work. Alternatively, you can use the backslash (/) in template match but remove that at beginning of each XPath.
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="no" />

Say this is my xml :
<History>
<University>TSU</University>
<Payload>
<Attrib Order="0">OVERSEA</Attrib>
<Attrib Order="1">GRADE2</Attrib>
<Attrib Order="2"><Person><ID>TQR344</ID></Person></Attrib>
<Attrib Order="3">3566644</Attrib>
</Payload>
</History>
And I want to query the inner XML inside Order=2 tag and read ID of the person.
I have created this so far :
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
>
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="no" />
<xsl:template match="/History">
<xsl:apply-templates select="/History" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="Person" match="//History">
<Event>
<Uni><xsl:value-of select="University" /></Uni>
<ID><xsl:value-of select="Payload/Attrib[#Order='2']/Person/ID" disable-output-escaping="yes" /></ID>
</Event>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
But as you can see it is not working.
Also I assigned the inner XML into a variable and tried to query that variable and It didn't work too.
Is it possible to do that via xsl ?
Limitations : I cannot change xml format. But maybe I was able to move from xsl ver 1 to new versions.
I want to query the inner XML inside Order=2 tag
The tag in question does not contain any XML; its content is a string and needs to be manipulated using string functions. Try:
XSLT 1.0
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/History">
<Event>
<Uni>
<xsl:value-of select="University" />
</Uni>
<ID>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(substring-after(Payload/Attrib[#Order='2'], '<ID>'),'</ID><')"/>
</ID>
</Event>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Note:
1. This:
<xsl:template match="/History">
<xsl:apply-templates select="/History" />
</xsl:template>
creates an infinite loop and will crash your processor.
2. Alternatively, you could serialize the string back into XML and process the result as XML; in XSLT 1.0, this can be done only by outputting the string with the escaping disabled, saving the result as a new document, then processing the new document with another XSLT stylesheet. Using XSLT 3.0 (or a processor that supports serializing as an extension) this can be all done during the same transformation.
i have the following xml and xslt to render it, but got no results. I checked again and again and see not path problem, and the xsl went through the compiler. so I am not sure if it's namespace problem or something else. many thx!

This is indeed an issue with namespaces. In your XML, you have declared a default namespace meaning the root element, and all its descendants, and in this namespace.
<bibdataset .xmlns="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ani/ani" ...
Now, in your XSLT, you have also declared this namespace, but without a prefix.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ani/ani"
This means it only applies to the elements you are outputting, so your searchresult element gets output in this namespace
<searchresult xmlns="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ani/ani"
However, it doesn't apply to the xpath expression in your XSLT, and so these are looking for elements in your input XML with no namespace.
In XSLT 2.0 the solution would be to simply declare an "xpath-default-namespace"
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ani/ani"
xpath-default-namespace="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ani/ani" ...
In XSLT 1.0, you will have to declare the namespace with a prefix, and use this prefix in all the xpath expressions.
Try this XSLT
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ani/ani"
xmlns:ani="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ani/ani"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:ce="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ani/common"
xmlns:ait="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ani/ait"
exclude-result-prefixes="ani">
<xsl:output indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="no"
media-type="application/xml" encoding="UTF-8" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<searchresult>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="/ani:bibdataset/ani:item/ani:bibrecord" />
</searchresult>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ani:bibrecord">
<document>
<title><xsl:value-of select="ani:head/ani:citation-title/ani:titletext" /></title>
<snippet>
<xsl:value-of select="ani:head/ani:abstracts/ani:abstract/ce:para" />
</snippet>
<url>
<xsl:variable name="doilink" select="ani:item-info/ani:itemidlist/ce:doi"/>
<xsl:value-of
select="concat('http://dx.doi.org/', $doilink)" />
</url>
</document>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Note that you can remove the line xmlns="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ani/ani" but that would mean your searchresult (and other) elements would be output with no namespace, so you would need to output it as <ani:searchresult> if you wanted it in the given namespace.
I just can't figure out a way to output string something like :
<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
this is what i tried:
<xsl:variable name="lessThan" select="<"/>
<xsl:variable name="GreaterThan" select=">"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$lessThan"/>
<xsl:text>xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$GreaterThan"/>
but this is the output i'm getting:
<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
I also tried doin something like this:
<xsl:text><xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"></xsl:text>
but the editor simply doesn't let me do this.It throws an error to match with end tag
PS:I am not well versed in xslt so Do please reply even if the question sounds naive.
try this:
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"></xsl:text>
To make your test xslt working you can use disable-output-escaping = "yes"
Changed xlst:
<xsl:variable name="lessThan" select="'<'"/>
<xsl:variable name="GreaterThan" select="'>'"/>
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping = "yes" select="$lessThan"/>
<xsl:text>xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping = "yes" select="$GreaterThan"/>
Update:
Only a guess you try to generate a xml declaration.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
This should be done with xsl:output
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8"/>
You should not be trying to produce the XML declaration manually. It should be generated automatically by the XSLT as long as you specify the output method as XML and do not specify omit-xml-declaration="yes":
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="utf-8" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<root />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When this XSLT is run on any input, the result is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root />
Put this <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><</xsl:text>
I have the following xml:
<RootNode xmlns="http://someurl/path/path/path">
<Child1>
<GrandChild1>Value</GrandChild1>
<!-- Lots more elements in here-->
</Child1>
</RootNode>
I have the following xslt:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns="http://someurl/path/path/path" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<NewRootNode xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<NewChild1>
<xsl:for-each select="RootNode/Child1">
<NewNodeNameHere>
<xsl:value-of select="GrandChild1"/>
</NewNodeNameHere>
<!-- lots of value-of tags in here -->
</xsl:for-each>
</NewChild1>
</NewRootNode >
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The problem: this is the my result:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<NewRootNode xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<NewChild1 />
</NewRootNode>
I am expecting to see:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<NewRootNode xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<NewChild1>
<NewNodeNameHere>Value</NewNodeNameHere>
<!-- Other new elements with values from the xml file -->
</NewChild1>
</NewRootNode>
I am missing of the information inside of NewChild1 that should be there.
I think my for-each select is correct, so the only thing I can think of is that there is a problem with the namespace in the Xml and the namespace in the xslt. Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong?
The problem is caused by the namespaces.
Since the xml defines xmlns="http://someurl/path/path/path", it is not in the default namespace anymore.
You can define that namespace with an name like xmlns:ns="http://someurl/path/path/path" in the xsl, and then use that name in the XPath expression.
The following works for me:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:ns="http://someurl/path/path/path" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<NewRootNode xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<NewChild1>
<xsl:for-each select="ns:RootNode/ns:Child1">
<NewNodeNameHere>
<xsl:value-of select="ns:GrandChild1"/>
</NewNodeNameHere>
<!-- lots of value-of tags in here -->
</xsl:for-each>
</NewChild1>
</NewRootNode >
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The stylesheet namespace should be http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform instead of http://someurl/path/path/path.
Also, since the input XML uses a namespace all your XPath expressions should be namespace-qualified:
<xsl:template match="/" xmlns:ns1="http://someurl/path/path/path">
<NewRootNode xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<NewChild1>
<xsl:for-each select="ns1:RootNode/ns1:Child1">
<NewNodeNameHere>
<xsl:value-of select="ns1:GrandChild1"/>
</NewNodeNameHere>
<!-- lots of value-of tags in here -->
</xsl:for-each>
</NewChild1>
</NewRootNode>
</xsl:template>
Here is a snip-it of the XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<NetworkAppliance id="S123456">
<Group id="9">
<Probe id="1">
<Value>74.7</Value>
</Probe>
</NetworkAppliance>
I want to get the single point value of 74.7. There are many groups with unique ID's and many Probes under that group with unique ID's each with values.
I am looking for example XSLT code that can get me this one value. Here is what i have that does not work:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" version="3.2" />
<xsl:template match="NetworkAppliance">
<xsl:apply-templates select="Group[#id='9']"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Group">
Temp: <xsl:value-of select="Probe[#id='1']/Value"/>
<br/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Here is what worked for me in the end:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!-- Edited by XMLSpy® -->
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:for-each select="NetworkAppliance/Group[#id=9]/Probe[#id=1]">
Value: <xsl:value-of select="Value" />
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Don't forget that you can do select several levels at once. Fixing your XML to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<NetworkAppliance id="S123456">
<Group id="9">
<Probe id="1">
<Value>74.7</Value>
</Probe>
</Group>
</NetworkAppliance>
and using this stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" version="3.2" />
<xsl:template match="/">
Temp: <xsl:value-of select="//Group[#id='9']/Probe[#id='1']/Value"/>
<br/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
we can pick out that one item you're interested in.
Points to note:
The // part of the expression means that the search for Group nodes takes place throughout the whole tree, finding Group nodes at whatever depth they're at.
The [#id='9'] part selects those Group nodes with id of 9
The Probe[#id='1'] part immediately after that selects those children of the Group nodes it found where the id is 1, and so on.
<xsl:value-of select="/NetworkAppliance/Group[#id=9]/Probe[#id=1]/Value"/>
XSLT is just one of the tools in the box, and nothing without XPath.
the xpath for value of a node is /node/text()
So
<xsl:value-of select="Probe[#id='1']/text()"/>
