Definition and Usage The <xsl:apply-templates> element applies a template to the current element or to the current element's child nodes. If we add a select attribute to the <xsl:apply-templates> element it will process only the child element that matches the value of the attribute.
within a called template refers to the same node as the . in the calling template. This is not the case with apply-templates. This is the basic difference.
XSLT apply-templates define how to find elements and help in removing unwanted text in the document. It applies a template rule to the current child nodes. It adds a select attribute along with the template to specify the order of child nodes to process the current task with the help of the XSLT processor.
I have an XML document which I'm subjected to an XSLT. The structure is similar to:
<root>
<item value="1">
<object/>
</item>
<item value="2" />
<object/>
</item>
</root>
My goal is to end up with a transformed XML similar to:
<root>
<parent>
<object-one value-one="1"/>
</parent>
<parent>
<object-two value-two="2"/>
</parent>
</root>
My XSLT is similar to:
<xsl:apply-templates select="object" />
<xsl:template match="object">
<xsl:call-template name="1" />
<xsl:call-template name="2" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="1" match="object[item/@value = '1'">
<xsl:element name="object-one" namespace="http://something.org">
<xsl:attribute name="_Description">
<xsl:value-of select="@_Type"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="_Type">
<xsl:value-of select="@_Amount"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="2" match="object[item/@value = '2'">
<xsl:element name="object-two" namespace="http://something.org">
<xsl:attribute name="OriginalAmount">
<xsl:value-of select="@_Amount"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
The problem is the all item nodes are having the same template applied. How can I apply a template to only specific nodes?
