    text
    copied!<p>I have a problem with XSLT and unparsed entity in XML. Here is a fictional scenario. First I got an XML file named doc.xml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE document [ &lt;!ELEMENT document (employee)*&gt; &lt;!ELEMENT employee (lastname, firstname)&gt; &lt;!ELEMENT lastname (#PCDATA)&gt; &lt;!ELEMENT firstname (#PCDATA)&gt; &lt;!NOTATION FOO SYSTEM 'text/xml'&gt; &lt;!ENTITY ATTACHMENT SYSTEM 'attach.xml' NDATA FOO&gt; &lt;!ATTLIST employee detail ENTITY #IMPLIED&gt; ]&gt; &lt;document&gt; &lt;employee detail="ATTACHMENT"&gt; &lt;lastname&gt;Bob&lt;/lastname&gt; &lt;firstname&gt;Kevin&lt;/firstname&gt; &lt;/employee&gt; &lt;/document&gt; </code></pre> <p>In this XML file, I use an unparsed entity(NDATA) for the attribute "detail" of the element "employee". The attach.xml is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;name&gt;Bob Kevin&lt;/name&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then i want to use XSLT to generate an output together with the attach.xml embedded. My XSLT file is named doc.xsl:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt; &lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"&gt; &lt;xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="document"&gt; &lt;Document&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="employee"/&gt; &lt;/Document&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="employee"&gt; Employee is: &lt;xsl:value-of select="@detail"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt; </code></pre> <p>Finally, I run using Xalan 2.7.1 :</p> <pre><code>java -jar xalan.jar -IN doc.xml -XSL doc.xsl -OUT docout.xml </code></pre> <p>The output is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;Document&gt; Employee is: ATTACHMENT &lt;/Document&gt; </code></pre> <p>This is not what i want. I want the output looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;Document&gt; Employee is: &lt;name&gt;Bob Kevin&lt;/name&gt; &lt;/Document&gt; </code></pre> <p>How should I rewrite the XSLT script to get the correct result? </p>
