Hi Roberto,
> How I can write an include with a value taken of a XML?
You can't. What you can do is to write a stylesheet that takes your
XML document:
> <PRINCIPAL>
> <LAYER1>layer1.xsl</LAYER1>
> ............
> </PRINCIPAL>
and generates from it an XSLT stylesheet that has the relevant value
in the href attribute of an xsl:include element in it. Something like:
<stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/Transform"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/TransformAlias">
<namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="xsl" result-prefix="#default" />
<template match="/">
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0">
<!-- href attribute comes from source XML -->
<xsl:include href="{PRINCIPAL/LAYER1}" />
... rest of the stylesheet content ...
</xsl:stylesheet>
</template>
</stylesheet>
Running this stylesheet over the XML document will generate the XSLT
stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:include href="layer1.xsl" />
...
</xsl:stylesheet>
Which you can then use as usual.
I hope that helps,
Jeni
