Iterating over child nodes

Dracarnion · February 22nd, 2013, 11:32 AM

This seems simple enough but I can't seem to get it to work.
My xml looks like this:

HTML Code:

<bsar:BSAForm>
    <bsar:SubjectInformation>
        <bsar:LastNameOrNameOfEntity> Obama</bsar:LastNameOrNameOfEntity>
        <bsar:AddressBlock>
            <ucc:Address> 9 Dale Rd</ucc:Address>
            <ucc:City> Woodbury</ucc:City>
        </bsar:AddressBlock>
        <bsar:AddressBlock>
            <ucc:Address> 123 Fake St</ucc:Address>
            <ucc:City> Springfield</ucc:City>
        </bsar:AddressBlock>
    </bsar:SubjectInformation>
</bsar:BSAForm>

I need to iterate over both of these elements and display the content. My XSLT looks like this:

HTML Code:

<xsl:template match=/bsar:BSAForm">
     <xsl:apply-templates select="bsar:SubjectInformation"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="bsar:SubjectInformation">
    <xsl:text xml:space="preserve">4A</xsl:text>
    <xsl:text xml:space="preserve">00001</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="bsar:LastNameOrNameOfEntity"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="'&#xD;&#xA;'"/> <!-- new line -->

    <xsl:apply-templates select="bsar:AddressBlock"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="bsar:AddressBlock">

    <xsl:variable name="Addr" select="../bsar:AddressBlock"/>

    <xsl:text xml:space="preserve">4B</xsl:text>
    <xsl:text xml:space="preserve">00001</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="$Addr/ucc:Address"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="$Addr/ucc:City"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="'&#xD;&#xA;'"/> <!-- new line -->
</xsl:template>

The output should be as follows:

Code:

4A 00001 Obama
4B 9 Dale Rd Woodbury
4B 123 Fake St Springfield

But instead, the output is coming out like this:

Code:

4A 00001 Obama
4B 9 Dale Rd Woodbury
4B 9 Dale Rd Woodbury

I have tried many different ways to do this, using a for each, using a for each like this:

HTML Code:

<xsl:variable name="header" select="."/>
 <xsl:for-each select="following-sibling::bsar:TelephoneBlock[ancestor::bsar:SubjectInformation[1] = $header]">

or even passing in a counter from a for-loop and using that to access the specified element like this:

HTML Code:

<xsl:for-each select="bsar:TelephoneBlock">
    <xsl:variable name="Index">
        <xsl:number count="bsar:TelephoneBlock" />
    </xsl:variable>

    <xsl:call-template name="SubjectPhone">
        <xsl:with-param name="$Index"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:for-each>

<xsl:template name="SubjectPhone">
    <xsl:param name="Index"/>

    <xsl:variable name="Telephone" select="../bsar:TelephoneBlock[$Index]"/>
    ...
</xsl:template>

In all these cases, it's displaying the first address twice. Pleae let me know if you notice anything I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.
