I am trying to create a generic stylesheet for a number of different
input.xml. Each input.xml has a different factType which in turn has its
own schema whose location and name I want to specify in the output. (For
Example ideally I want the output root element to be
<LoginHypothesis xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:ia="http://www.orincon.com/ia" xsi:schemaLocation=
"http://www.orincon.com/ia LoginHypothesis.xsd">)
I would also like to automatically get the name of the schema from the
incoming document as opposed to having it hard coded in the stylesheet.
1) How do I get the "xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.orincon.com/ia
LoginHypothesis.xsd" text to appear?
2) Can I use xpath in the <xsl:stylesheet> element to extract this
LoginHypothesis factType value from the input.xml?
I have tried xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.orincon.com/ia
{ia:unorderedFact/child::factType/text()}.xsd" with no joy.
Any suggestions on how I handle this gratefully received.
Thank you
Annie
This is what I have at the moment
