Can I 'apply-templates' across multiple XML docume

mphare · June 8th, 2006, 03:38 PM

A simple version of what I have it this:

Code:

<xsl:variable name="generic-common-xsd" select="document('../XSD/Common/NMIE-Generic-Common.xsd')"></xsl:variable>

<!-- Do some processing in the root XML document, then at some point
I need to process something in the other XML document -->
<xsl:element name="Value">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="$generic-common-xsd/xs:simpleType[@name='$TypeVal']" mode="Type"></xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:element>


<xsl:template match="xs:simpleType" mode="Type">
   <xsl:element name="Domain"></xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

Basically, for ease of re-use, I have separated my schemas across multiple files.

What I have above is not working.
Is this even possible?

The document() function returns a document node. In the case of a schema, one would expect the only child of that document node to be an xs:schema element. To select an xs:simpleType element, I would expect to see document(...)/xs:schema/xs:simpleType.

I would also expect to see the predicate [@name=$TypeVal] rather than [@name='$TypeVal']
