Hello,
I need to implement a XSL that will replace text values in file1.xml
based on replacement information in file2.xml.
file2.xml provides an XPath that points to an attribute / element value
and a replacement value. The XML has the form of:
<mapping>
<!-- should replace @attribute1 value that are 'foo' of all element1
elements in file1.xml with 'bar'-->
<replace>
<xpath>//element1/@attribute1[.='foo']</xpath>
<with>bar</with>
</replace>
<replace>
... <!-- other replacement operations -->
</replace>
...
</mapping>
Is there an easy way to dynamically generate replacement instructions in
my XSL. I thought of extracting replacement information from file2.xml
with the document function.
Any help is much welcome.
Robert
