XSLT - using hardcoded values and looping on them - xslt

Question

I'm very new to xslt and trying to learn. The focus to transform my data xml and bind the output xml to the adobe form.
I have a xml of the following structure.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<envelope xmlns="http://www.mydata.de/xem/reporting/datafile">
<sources>
<source>
<data>
<REPORT>
<EM_ESOURCE>
<EM_ES_MEASURE>
<ID>1037343</ID>
<ES_ID>1006222</ES_ID>
<ES_NAME>MFC-D-002</ES_NAME>
<EM_MAT_NAME>Cyprinella leedsi</EM_MAT_NAME>
<START_DATE>1/19/98</START_DATE>
<LABORATORY>Thornton</LABORATORY>
<LC50>>100%</LC50>
<TESTTYPE/>
<IC25/>
</EM_ES_MEASURE>
<EM_ES_MEASURE>
<ID>1037344</ID>
<ES_ID>1006222</ES_ID>
<ES_NAME>MFC-D-002</ES_NAME>
<EM_MAT_NAME>C Dubia</EM_MAT_NAME>
<START_DATE>3/2/98</START_DATE>
<LABORATORY>Thornton</LABORATORY>
<LC50>>120%</LC50>
<TESTTYPE>Routine</TESTTYPE>
<IC25/>
</EM_ES_MEASURE>
</EM_ESOURCE>
</REPORT>
</data>
</source>
</sources>
This is the result of one of the queries. The Adobe report requires the materials to be shown always in a particular order regardless of what the query returns. So I decided to hardcode the order of materials in the xsl internally, loop on this list and then fetch corresponding "LC50" values from the data xml.
Following is the xsl that I started:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:rep="http://www.technidata.de/xem/reporting/datafile"
xmlns:s="http:/materials.data"
xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xslt/java">
<xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<!-- Suppress copy of restrictions -->
<!--xsl:template match="text()|#*"/-->
<xsl:key name="material-lookup" match="s:material" use="s:name"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<REPORT>
<HEADERS>
<STARTDATE><xsl:value-of select="substring(/rep:envelope/rep:sources/rep:restrictions/rep:START_DATE,1,10)"/></STARTDATE>
<ENDDATE><xsl:value-of select="substring(/rep:envelope/rep:sources/rep:restrictions/rep:START_DATE,16,24)"/></ENDDATE>
<FACILITY><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(/rep:envelope/rep:sources/rep:restrictions/rep:ID_ATTRIBUTE_ID_NAME)"/></FACILITY>
</HEADERS>
<MATERIALS>
</MATERIALS>
</REPORT></xsl:template>
<s:materials>
<s:material>
<s:name>Cyprinella leedsi</s:name>
<s:parameter>LC(ROUTINE) </s:parameter>
</s:material>
<s:material>
<s:name>C Dubia</s:name>
<s:parameter>LC50(ROUTINE) </s:parameter>
</s:material>
</s:materials>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I'm not sure how to fill in the the MATERIALS node with the materials in the order defined in the xslt and their corresponding LC50 values from the data xml.

Use the document('') function to XPath into the XSLT file itself.
