  1. POA Question on How to Generate Things Based on Intermediate XSLT Result
    text
    copied!<p>Normally, the XSLT should work on an original XML file and being provided with a stylesheet.</p> <p>But currently my task is, my last node in my final XML file should be a number that count certain types of nodes in my RESULTING xml file (not the original one).</p> <p>So for example, my initial XML is empty, and in my style sheet, I've grabbed data from some other places and inserted them into this empty XML to create certain nodes like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Plant&gt; &lt;Flower&gt; &lt;Flower1&gt;..&lt;/Flower1&gt; &lt;Flower2&gt;..&lt;/Flower2&gt; &lt;/Flower&gt; &lt;Tree&gt; &lt;Tree1&gt;...&lt;/Tree1&gt; &lt;Tree2&gt;...&lt;/Tree2&gt; &lt;/Tree&gt; .... &lt;Counter&gt;? &lt;/Counter&gt; &lt;/Plant&gt; </code></pre> <p>My question here is this Counter node, it should be a number that indicates how many children nodes of Plant has been created after the transformation. So I would assume a 2-step process could be effective: The first step is to do an intermediate XSLT that grabs all the "Plant" data and filled in the empty initial XML file; Then the second step is to a simple XPath count on this XML file and append another node "Counter" to contain this number. But I am not exactly sure how to do chain these two XSLTs into a single XSLT( since a one-click transform is required), like how to represent the intermediate XML files and how to command the IDE( XMLSpy in my case) to do a further XSLT.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
