Hi All,

We are trying to refer and parse few variables values in the xsl-fo stylesheet.

When we view the XML output, the variables are getting the value, but in the final rtf report, we are not getting the variables printed in the report.

We are using the below tag for referencing the variables and their values:

<!-- User Variables: Vishal modified for templates -->
<xsl:template match="var[@type='U']">
<!-- This provides the default value for the user defined variable. Change according to the requirement.-->
<xsl:variable name="defaultTemplateUserValue">[@ <xsl:value-of select="current()/@meaning"/> @]</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="defaultUserValue">_________</xsl:variable>
<!--xsl:variable name="defaultUserValue"><xsl:value-of select="$ContractsRoot/ParametersVO/ParametersVORow/DefaultUserVarValue/text()"/></xsl:variable-->
<!-- Fix for bug# 5913694. Changed the ../../ expression to ancestor node -->
<xsl:variable name="currentCatId" select="ancestor::SectionsArticlesToPrintVORow/CatId"/>
<xsl:variable name="uservariable" select="$ContractsRoot/VariablesMetadataVO/VariablesMetadataVORow[VariableType='U' and VariableCode=current()/@name and CatId=$currentCatId]/Value"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="/ContractTermsAM">
<!-- If it is a template, use the variable meaning as the default -->
<xsl:if test="$uservariable">
<xsl:value-of select="$uservariable"/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="not($uservariable)">
<xsl:value-of select="$defaultTemplateUserValue"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:if test="$uservariable">
<xsl:if test="$OkcTermsMode='WML'">
<xsl:call-template name="VariableTag"/>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;Value&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="$uservariable"/>
<xsl:if test="$OkcTermsMode='WML'">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/Value&gt;</xsl:text>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/VarStartTag&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<!--xsl:value-of select="$uservariable"/-->
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="not($uservariable)">
<xsl:if test="$OkcTermsMode='WML'">
<!--Marking the User variables-->
<xsl:call-template name="VariableTag"/>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;Value&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="$defaultUserValue"/>
<xsl:if test="$OkcTermsMode='WML'">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/Value&gt;</xsl:text>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/VarStartTag&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<!--xsl:value-of select="$defaultUserValue"/-->
</xsl:if>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Thanks in advance,
Sridevi

You haven't shown any input XML, and you haven't explained the relationship of the "XML output" to the "final rtf report". And where does XSL-FO fit into the picture?

Your code is highly non-portable because of its extravagant use of disable-output-escaping. This looks, on the surface, to be completely unnecessary. Use of disable-output-escaping without good reason is usually a sign that the stylesheet author has not properly mastered basic XSLT concepts.

Hi, Thanks for the reply.

Yes, Actually, this code was not written by me and I don't have much idea about XSL-FO.

The flow is, we have an rtf which refers to this xsl style sheet for printing information.

The rtf refers to this style sheet using the command <?call-template:TermsTemplate?>

The terms template is defined in the XSL as

<xsl:template name="TermsTemplate">
<xsl:call-template name="PrintContractTerms"/>
</xsl:template>

which inturn refers to another XSL sheet. The code in this particular sheet is very big to paste here.

I can mail u all the files if you can provide me with your mail id.

Thanks and Regards,
Sridevi.

Sorry, I've never come across the idea of an rtf containing a processing instruction that refers to a named template in an XSLT stylesheet. You're using some technology I know nothing about, so I don't think I'll be able to help you.
