Problem with template

nelly78 · November 11th, 2009, 11:46 AM

I am using saxon 6.5.

Is there any other way so I can achieve the same without using Tunnel parameter ?

Thanks

Nelly

Just upgrade to XSLT 2.0 and Saxon 9.2. If you're using Java then there's no possible reason to be sticking with XSLT 1.0 - version 2.0 has been out for nearly three years.

You can achieve the same with normal parameters by passing the parameter on with each apply-templates and with each template involved. If you have e.g.

Code:

<root foo="bar">
  <child>
     <grandchild/>
  </child>
</root>

then you would need e.g.

Code:

<xsl:template match="root">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="*">
     <xsl:with-param name="p1" select="@foo"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="child">
  <xsl:param name="p1"/>
  ...
  <xsl:apply-templates select="*">
     <xsl:with-param name="p1" select="$p1"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>
  ...
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="grandchild">
  <xsl:param name="p1"/> 
  ...
  <xsl:if test="$p1 = 'bar'">
    ...
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

You have already asked that, and I did already answer that in Problem with template. That code uses normal parameters, not tunnel parameters, you simply then have to ensure that all templates pass on and receive the parameter(s) you need.
