    copied!<p>Using <a href="http://www.pesc.org/library/docs/standards/Sector%20Library/AcademicRecord%5Fv1.4.0.xsd" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this file</a> as source, I have a situation where I need to retrieve an element from either the local source file or a related one noted in the imports. The type value uses a colon to separate the two values - substring-before(@type, ':') tells me which file to reference; substring-after(@type, ':') is the name of the element in the file I need to copy &amp; iterate over its contents in the same fashion.</p> <p>Example: I want the xs:complexType where the name is "PersonType", so I use the copy-of to grab it and its children. The next step is to look at those children - for those that are xs:element, I want to retrieve the element referenced in the type value ("AcRec:HighSchoolType"). The "AcRec" tells me which xsd I need to use, so I know I'll find something in that xsd where the name value is "HighSchoolType". Looking at the AcRec xsd, I know that "HighSchoolType" is an xs:complexType (which I already have a template defined to handle) so I should see the output.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?&gt; &lt;xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="/"&gt; &lt;xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:core="urn:org:pesc:core:CoreMain:v1.2.0" xmlns:AcRec="urn:org:pesc:sector:AcademicRecord:v1.1.0"&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="//xs:complexType[@name='PersonType']" /&gt; &lt;/xs:schema&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="xs:complexType"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy&gt; &lt;xsl:copy-of select="node()[not(xs:annotation | xs:restriction)]|@*"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:copy&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select=".//xs:element" /&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="xs:simpleType"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy&gt; &lt;xsl:copy-of select="node()|@*"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:copy&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="xs:element"&gt; &lt;xsl:choose&gt; &lt;xsl:when test="substring-before(@type, ':') = 'AcRec'"&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;AcRec&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="document('[local file path]AcademicRecord_v1.3.0.xsd')//*[@name=substring-after(@type, ':')]" /&gt; &lt;/xsl:when&gt; &lt;/xsl:choose&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </code></pre> <p> </p> <p>Desired output would look like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xs:complexType name="PersonType"&gt; &lt;xs:sequence&gt; &lt;xs:element name="HighSchool" type="AcRec:HighSchoolType" minOccurs="0"&gt; &lt;/xs:sequence&gt; &lt;/xs:complexType&gt; &lt;xs:complexType name="HighSchoolType"&gt; &lt;xs:sequence&gt; &lt;xs:element name="OrganizationName" type="core:OrganizationNameType"/&gt; &lt;xs:group ref="core:OrganizationIDGroup" minOccurs="0"/&gt; &lt;/xs:sequence&gt; &lt;/xs:complexType&gt; </code></pre> <p>What am I missing about looking within the document when I successfully enter the xsl:when? The xsl:text tells me I'm in, but the subsequent line returns no output.</p> <p>Additionally, how do I exclude xs:annotation and xs:restriction elements from appearing when copying the xs:complextType &amp; xs:simpleType elements? I haven't been able to get the examples mentioned on the dpawson site to work.</p>
