& XSLT Hi all,

I have an excerpt of a wddx data being generated from query data in
ColdFusion 5 and I need to simplify the structure with an intermediate
xsl transform so that I can consume the simplified form in a mail
merge system. I've looked on the list and I saw a post from 2000
(http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200005/msg00879.html)
and have implemented something similar, which only sort of works. As
you can see, the "structure" is correct, but the values are wrong. I'm
having trouble wrapping my head around the push approach, since the
mail merge system uses a pull approach, so I fear I am
over-complicating things. I may just need better search terms.

I'm using SAXON 6.5.3 via javax in a 1.4.2 java applet, (but not via
the XSLTProcessorApplet interface, ) so this needs to be  XSLT 1.0.

Here is the contents of a file called party.wddx:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xml" href="wddx2party.xsl"?> 
<wddxPacket version='1.0'> <header></header><data><struct>
<var name='party'> 
<recordset rowCount='2'
fieldNames='PARTY_ID,PARTY_ROLE_ID,FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME,BIRTH_DT'> 
<field name='PARTY_ID'> 
	<number> 2127652</number>
	<number> 2127653</number></field>
<field name='PARTY_ROLE_ID'> 
	<number> 51</number>
	<number> 24</number></field>
<field name='FIRST_NAME'> 
	<string> Bob</string>
	<string> Donte</string></field>
<field name='LAST_NAME'> 
	<string> Jones</string>
	<string> Smith</string></field>
<field name='SUFFIX'> 
	<string> </string>
	<string> </string></field>
<field name='BIRTH_DT'> 
	<string> </string>
	<dateTime> 1990-6-4T0:0:0-8:0</dateTime></field>
</recordset> 
</var> 
<var name='alias'> 
<recordset rowCount='1' fieldNames='ALIAS_ID,PARTY_ID,FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME'> 
<field name='ALIAS_ID'> 
	<number> 1</number></field>
<field name='PARTY_ID'> 
	<number> 2127652</number></field>
<field name='FIRST_NAME'> 
	<string> Bobby</string></field>
<field name='LAST_NAME'> 
	<string> Joneson</string></field>
</recordset> 
</var> 
</struct> </data></wddxPacket>


And here is the stylesheet referenced

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> 
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/> 

<xsl:template match="/wddxPacket"> 
    <partyList> 
	<xsl:apply-templates/> 
    </partyList> 
</xsl:template> 

<xsl:template match="var/recordset"> 
    <xsl:for-each select="field[1]/*"> 
        <xsl:element name="{../../../@name}"> 
            <xsl:for-each select="../../field"> 
                <xsl:call-template name="field-row"> 
                    <xsl:with-param name="row-no" select="position()"/> 
                </xsl:call-template> 
            </xsl:for-each> 
        </xsl:element> 
    </xsl:for-each> 
</xsl:template> 

<xsl:template name="field-row"> 
    <xsl:param name="row-no"/> 
    <xsl:element name="{@name}"> 
        <xsl:for-each select="child::*[position() = $row-no]"> 
            <xsl:value-of select="text()"/> 
        </xsl:for-each> 
    </xsl:element> 
</xsl:template> 

</xsl:stylesheet> 

The output I am current getting is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<partyList> 
<party> 
	<PARTY_ID> 2127652</PARTY_ID>
	<PARTY_ROLE_ID> 24</PARTY_ROLE_ID>
	<FIRST_NAME/> 
	<LAST_NAME/> 
	<SUFFIX/> 
	<BIRTH_DT/> 
</party> 
<party> 
	<PARTY_ID> 2127652</PARTY_ID>
	<PARTY_ROLE_ID> 24</PARTY_ROLE_ID>
	<FIRST_NAME/> 
	<LAST_NAME/> 
	<SUFFIX/> 
	<BIRTH_DT/> 
</party> 
<alias> 
	<ALIAS_ID> 1</ALIAS_ID>
	<PARTY_ID/> 
	<FIRST_NAME/> 
	<LAST_NAME/> 
</alias> 
</partyList> 

The output I am hoping to get is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<partyList> 
	<party> 
		<PARTY_ID> 2127652</PARTY_ID>
		<PARTY_ROLE_ID> 51</PARTY_ROLE_ID>
		<FIRST_NAME> Bob</FIRST_NAME>
		<LAST_NAME> Jones</LAST_NAME>
		<SUFFIX/> 
		<BIRTH_DT/> 
	</party> 
	<party> 
		<PARTY_ID> 2127653</PARTY_ID>
		<PARTY_ROLE_ID> 24</PARTY_ROLE_ID>
		<FIRST_NAME> Donte</FIRST_NAME>
		<LAST_NAME> Smith</LAST_NAME>
		<SUFFIX/> 
		<BIRTH_DT> 1990-6-4T0:0:0-8:0</BIRTH_DT>
		<alias/> 
	</party> 
	<alias> 
		<ALIAS_ID> 1</ALIAS_ID>
		<PARTY_ID> 2127652</PARTY_ID>
		<FIRST_NAME> Bobby</FIRST_NAME>
		<LAST_NAME> Joneson</LAST_NAME>
	</alias> 
</partyList>
