Parameter binding within XSLT mapping

How to reference parameters binded in the operations mapping to the XSLT mapping.
E.g.
Parameter defined in the OM is "name" simple type xsd:string, which is binded in the OM to the XSLT mapping
What I first tried is like the following but it does not work
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" [...]
<xsl: template match="/">
<xsl value-of select="const(value=$name$)"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Any clue?

Hi,
Can you try this,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text/xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="HR_GB_EFI_DPSrequestToken:Logon_Payload">
<xsl:copy-of select="child::node()"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Exception while running xslt mapping

Hi all,
I am doing an xslt mapping to get an html content . Within xslt mapping code i am using "&nbsp" to add white space . I am using Stylus Studio to run the mapping , when i run it in Stylus , its executing fine.
But once I import this xslt mapping into XI & run it from Interface mapping , i am getting (The entity "nbsp" was referenced, but not declared.) excpetion.
I have declared <!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp " "> ]> as well in my mapping ...even then i am getting the error.
Please provide ur inputs
Regards
Vinay P

Hi Vinay,
Can you please share the exact line in XSLT?
If I may suggest, you can use a simple way like <xsl:value-of select="concat('txt1',' ','txt2')"/> or simply <xsl:text>text1 text2<xsl:text>
If this does not address, please provide more details on the problem statement.
Thanks and Regards,

Process external functions within xsl maps

Hi,
i am working with xslt maps, and i have now the problem to generate the current date/time.
I found some postings with the solution to implement some new java classes.
Does somebody know, how to use the registerd java libs within xslt maps ?
- publish the xslns
- define the xsl:script
- use the class
Thanks
Bernd

Hi Rasto,
very good.
Could you please send the whole xslt.
The following does not work (in XMLSPY):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:date="java:java.util.Date" xmlns:formatter="java:java.text.SimpleDateFormat">
     <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
     <xsl:template match="ROOT">
     <xsl:variable name="v_dNow" select="date:new()"/>
     <xsl:value-of select="$v_dNow"/>
     
     
     
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Thanks Regards

Filter Idoc segment based on date in XSLT map

Hi,
In a Idoc to flat file XSLT mapping, I have a requirment to filter segment out of multiple segment occurance in HRMD_A idoc. Idoc has two date fields(actually string data, containing date in YYYYMMDD format) in the segment(end date and start date). I need to filter only one segment from multiple segments where current date falles within start and end dates (end date >= current date >= start date). Then map output fields from the filtered segment.
Its easy doing it in graphical mapping, but its difficult to use graphical mapping here as the message structure are enormous. I dont have much hands on in XSLT but think many of you have been through this kind of requirement using XSLT. So holding my hope high :). Please suggest a logic for this, will be highly appretiated.
Regards
Suman.

This functions will give you the current date:
fn:current-dateTime()     => Returns the current dateTime (with timezone)
fn:current-date()                 => Returns the current date (with timezone)
fn:current-time()                 => Returns the current time (with timezone)
To compare:
fn:compare(comp1,comp2)
fn:compare(comp1,comp2,collation)
=> Returns -1 if comp1 is less than comp2, 0 if comp1 is equal to comp2, or 1 if comp1 is greater than comp2 (according to the rules of the collation that is used)
Example: compare('ghi', 'ghi')
Result: 0
Also I suggest working with an IF condition like this:
<xsl:if test="price > 10">
        <tr>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="artist"/></td>
        </tr>
      </xsl:if>

Java Mapping, XSLT Mapping, ABAP Mapping

Hi Experts,
Could any one explain what is the main features of the following Mapping. How to pick the mapping?
Java Mapping - When to use and what is the advantage.
ABAP Mapping - When to use and what is the advantage.
XSLT Mapping - When to use and what is the advantage.
Graphical Mapping - When to use and what is the advantage.
cheers,
Sunee

There are 4 types of mapping in XI
1. Graphical Mapping
2. XSLT Mapping
3. JAVA Mapping
4. ABAP Mapping
When to use Message mapping
1 When the logic for your mapping is simple and straight forward, you can use
Advantages of message mapping
1)Easy to use.
2) has GUI drag and drop.
3) used for simple mapping cases
4) it does not involve any complex logic
Disadvantages of message mapping
1)has limitation in terms of complex hierarchy
When to use Java mapping
1) Java mapping are used when graphical mapping cannot help you.
Advantages of Java Mapping
1)you can use Java APIs and Classes in it.
2) file look up or a DB lookup is possible
3) DOM is easier to use with lots of classes to help you create nodes and elements.
Disadvantages of Java mapping
1)SAX parser is not easy to develop
2)DOM parser is intensive
3) Java knowledge is required
4) bit complexer
XSLT Mapping - When to use
1)When the required output is other than XML like Text, Html or XHTML (html displayed as XML )
2)When default namespace coming from graphical mapping is not required or is to be changed as per requirements.
3)When data is to be filtered based on certain fields (considering File as source)
4)When data is to be sorted based on certain field (considering File as source)
5)When data is to be grouped based on certain field (considering File as source)
Advantages of using XSLT mapping
1)XSLT program itself defines its own target structure.
2)XSLT programs can be imported into SAP XI. Message mapping step can be avoided. One can directly go for interface mapping once message interfaces are created and mapping is imported.
3)XSLT provides use of number of standard XPath functions that can replaces graphical mapping involving user defined java functions easily.
4)File content conversion at receiver side can be avoided in case of text or html output.
5)Multiple occurrences of node within tree (source XML) can be handled easily.
6)XSLT can be used in combination with graphical mapping.
7)Multi-mapping is also possible using xslt.
8)XSLT can be used with ABAP and JAVA Extensions
Disadvantages of using XSLT mapping
1)Resultant XML payload can not be viewed in SXMB_MONI if not in XML format (for service packs < SP14).
2)Interface mapping testing does not show proper error description. So errors in XSLT programs are difficult to trace in XI but can be easily identified outside XI using browser.
3)XSLT mapping requires more memory than mapping classes generated in Java.
4)XSLT program become lengthier as source structure fields grows in numbers.
5)XSLT program sometimes become complex to meet desired functionality.
6)Some XSL functions are dependent on version of browser.
Advantages of Abap Mapping
1) A person comfortable with OOABAP can go for ABAP mapping instead.
Disadvantages of Abap Mapping
1) Abap knowledge is required
2) bit compexer

Value mapping in xslt mapping

Hi,
I have 2 mapping program one is main .xsl program and other one is value mapping program .xsl .
I have zipped both the program and imported into Imported archive in IR but while testing in interface mapping i am getting error.
error:could not compile xslt stylsheet.
Some of the interface having one .xsl program and value mapping is also defined in the main program itself,these interface i am able to execute successfully but unable to execute wherever there are 2 program (main prog + value mapping).
It seems that value mapping is not loading / executing.
Can anyone please guide me how to call value mapping using xslt mapping?
Thanks,
Subbu

Hi Prateek,
Thanks for the response.
Yes i have 2 program and both needs to execute in one interface mapping.
First program (main) is MappingMOAPS_SAVEMULTIPLE2013.xsl and second program i.e (value mapping) MO_vmf.xsl.
From main program itself value mapping program is called.
Please look below code for main & value mapping prog.
In main prog this is the parameter (<xsl:import href="MO_vmf.xslt"/>) where value mapping prog name is mentioned.
I have already zipped and imported but while testing in interface mapping it is giving error that "could not compile xslt stylsheet".
Could you plaese tell how to check or make XSL to accommodate multiple mappings?

Current date in xslt mapping

Hi,
I've tried to get the current date in my xslt mapping.
I've used the following xslt coding:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:date="http://exslt.org/dates-and-times" extension-element-prefixes="date">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="now" select="current-date()"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
In stylus studio everything is OK and i retrieve the current date.
When i import the xslt in the mapping tool and test the mapping i get the following error:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.util.NestedException: Function with name 'current-date' not found in context library. at com.sap.engine.lib.jaxp.TransformerImpl.transform(TransformerImpl.java:251)
While directly using the current date functionality within the message mapping everything is OK too.
Does anyone know which date-functionality is used within the message mapping within the Integration Builder and/or wich mapping to be used in xslt for a working scenario?
Thnx in advance!

Ok thnx, these anwers where very helpfull for me to solve this problem.
I've awarded points for all your answers.
For anyone interested later on, I needed the date in my XSLT mapping in the following format ddMMMyy.
Finnally I used the following xslt to achieve this:
     <xsl:template name="currentDate" xmlns:cal="java:java.util.GregorianCalendar">
          <xsl:variable name="now" select="cal:getInstance()" />
          <xsl:variable name="day" select="cal:get($now, 5)" />
          <xsl:variable name="month" select="cal:get($now, 2) + 1" />
          <xsl:variable name="year" select="substring(string(cal:get($now, 1)), 3, 2)" />
          <xsl:variable name="month">
               <xsl:choose>
                    <xsl:when test="$month=1">Jan</xsl:when>
                    <xsl:when test="$month=2">Feb</xsl:when>
                    <xsl:when test="$month=3">Mar</xsl:when>

XSLT Mapping Help Needed

Hi,
I have a XSD file with multiple references in my external definition. I am trying to build a schema validation functionality for a xml based on the multiple XSD's.
Is it possible to do a schema validation using xslt mapping?
I am using Altova mapforce to generate XSLT mapping but somehow it is not working. It gives me an error "XML Not well Formed".
Please help!!

Hi Jyanth
yes you can do this
i advice you to use XML Schema Tools like stylus studio or spy for editing, mapping, converting, validating, generating, binding and documenting any XML data model
few links for you how you can do in XML

XSLT mapping not working b'coz " " & " " replaced with and

Hello Experts,
I have a RFC to JMS scenario. One of the parameter of RFC is a string field. This field will contain the XML data in it.
I need to create a complete XML payload using this data in a string field. For this I am using XSLT map :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.1" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
     <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="no"/>
     <xsl:template match="/">
          <xsl:for-each select="//Nem">
               <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
          </xsl:for-each>
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This XSLT mapping works fine when tested independently.
But in actual scenario at runtime the "<" & ">" used to indicate a node are getting replaced with < and >. Then the XSLT mapping fails and produces no output.
The output of XSL will be passed in to a java mapping which signs the payload digitally.
What is the issue with these signs? How can I overcome this problem?
Any inputs will be of great help.
Kind Regards,
Abhijeet.

Hi Stefan,
Yes - I want to get rid of & # 60. But these (& # 60 and & # 62) are not added by XSLT mapping. Rather they are in the input available to XSLT map.
In sxmb_moni, i can see the inbound payload correctly :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <rfc:HDK083_REFUS_SENDDOCU xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">

but when I try to download the payload or right click on payload to view source I get something like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><rfc:HDK083_REFUS_SENDDOCU xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions"><P_SIGN_DOCUMENT></P_SIGN_DOCUMENT><P_XML_DOCUMENT>& # 6 0;NemRefusionIndberetningSamling& # 62; & # 60;NemRefusionIndberetningStruktur MessageID="1"& #62;& #60;HeaderStruktur& #62;& #60;SignOffIndikator& #62;true& #60;/SignOffIndikator& #62;& #60;TransaktionKode& #62;Opret& #60;/TransaktionKode& #62;& #60;IndberetningstypeKode& #62;Anmeldelse& #60;/IndberetningstypeKode& #62;& #60;FravaerTypeKode& #62;Sygdom& #60;/FravaerTypeKode& #62;& #60;FravaerendeStruktur& #62;& #60;FravaerendeTypeKode& #62;Loenmodtager</FravaerendeTypeKode><LoenUnderFravaerIndikator& #62;false</LoenUnderFravaerIndikator></FravaerendeStruktur& #62;<IndberetningUUIDIdentifikator& #62;bf9cc44e-af15-4e19-8457-5845d75385d2& #60;/IndberetningUUIDIdentifikator& #62;& #60;ReferenceAttributTekst& #62;ref. Nielsen-1503831372 (23. oktober 2009)& #60;/ReferenceAttributTekst& #62;
(extra spaces added to "& # 60" as browser was converting it to < ,>)
If i take the source code for payload and test XSLT mapping, it fails. But if I manually replace all "& # 60" with < and "& # 6 2" with >, then the mapping works fine.
So I think for XSLT map to work correctly, we need to replace all "& # 60 " . Please suggest.
Kind Regards,

XSLT Mapping with Dynamic Configuration for Mail Adapter

Hi Guys,
I am wondering if somebody can help me please.
I have a requirement in which I need to pick up the file from FTP and email it to the user as an attachment with the same file name and content.
I know it is possible via 3 method either by deploying adapter module or via XSLT or JAVA Mapping.
I preferred XSLT Mapping because it is easier to use and we don't need to compile the code like JAVA Mapping.
I have done the XSLT Mapping but the only problem I am facing is that how to copy the file name which we get it from Dynamic Configuration to the Mail ContentDisposition.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:map="java:java.util.Map"
xmlns:dyn="java:com.sap.aii.mapping.api.DynamicConfiguration"
xmlns:key="java:com.sap.aii.mapping.api.DynamicConfigurationKey">
<xsl:output indent="no" />
<xsl:param name="inputparam"/>
<xsl:template match="/">

    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-conf"
        select="map:get($inputparam, 'DynamicConfiguration')" />
    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-key"
        select="key:create('http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File', 'FileName')" />
    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-value"
        select="dyn:get($dynamic-conf, $dynamic-key)" />
    <xsl:variable name="dummy"
        select="dyn:put($dynamic-conf, $dynamic-key, $new-value)" />
    
I tried many option but unfortunately none of them worked.
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="$inputparam"</Content_Disposition>
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="$dynamic-conf"</Content_Disposition>
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="$dynamic-key"</Content_Disposition>
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="$dynamic-value"</Content_Disposition>
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="$dummy"</Content_Disposition>
         <Content_Disposition>
            attachment;filename=
            <xsl:value-of select="dynamic-key"/>
         </Content_Disposition>
I really appreciate if someone can please provide some guidance.
Thanks,

Hi,
Yes u r correct it will show error in operation mapping.. bcoz u cannot check the DynamicConfiguration in Operation mapping...
It will throw Exception..
The parameter to UDF depends on ur requirement.... Let us know ur requirements exactly...
If u r doing for file to file means no UDF required,, just check ASMA on both sides....

Java Error in RFC Lookup in XSLT Mapping usinf Java helper class

Hi All,
I am doing RFC Lookup in XSLT Mapping using Java Helper class.
The Lookup works fine when called one RFC at a time However my requirement is I want to do 2 Lookups.
Both Lookups works when done individually however when I call both lookups in one mapping I get following error "javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: DOMSource whose Node is null."
Following is the code I have written in XSLT for the lookup:
     <xsl:template name="Lookup_1">
          <xsl:param name="STDPN"/>
               <rfc:RFC_READ_TABLE>

                         </TEXT></item>
                    </OPTIONS>

               </rfc:RFC_READ_TABLE>
          </xsl:variable>
          <xsl:variable name="response" xmlns:lookup="java:urn.mt.pi" select="lookup:execute($request, 'BS_D, 'cc_RfcLookup', $inputparam)"/>

          </xsl:element>
     </xsl:template>
     <xsl:template name="Lookup_2">
          <xsl:param name="BELNR"/>
               <xsl:variable name="Query">AGMNT = '<xsl:value-of select="$BELNR"/>'</xsl:variable>
               <xsl:variable name="request1">

               </xsl:element>
     </xsl:template>
My Question: Am I doing anything wrong? Or Is it possible to call multiple lookups in one XSLT?
Thanks and Regards,
Atul

Hi Atul,
I had the same problem like you had.
The main Problem is that with the example code the request variable is created as NodeList object. In XSLT a variable is somekind of a constant and can't be changed. As the request object is empty after the first request the programm fails at the following line:
Source source = new DOMSource(request.item(0));
So I've created a workaround for this problem.
In the call of the template I've put the request as a parameter object at the template call:
<xsl:with-param name="req">
<rfc:PLM_EXPLORE_BILL_OF_MATERIAL xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
<APPLICATION>Z001</APPLICATION>
<FLAG_NEW_EXPLOSION>X</FLAG_NEW_EXPLOSION>
<MATERIALNUMBER><xsl:value-of select="value"/></MATERIALNUMBER>
<PLANT>FSD0</PLANT>
<VALIDFROM><xsl:value-of select="//Recordset/Row[name='DTM-031']/value"/></VALIDFROM>
<BOMITEM_DATA/>
</rfc:PLM_EXPLORE_BILL_OF_MATERIAL>
</xsl:with-param>
With this change the request will be provided as a String object and not as a NodeList object.
Afterwards the RfcLookup.java has to be changed to the following:

JAVA/ XSLT Mapping to Create a SOAP Envelope

Hello,
I have a File to SOAP scenario and it requires the SOAP message with a custom SOAP envelope. I have searched SDN and could only find that SOAP envelope can be created using a JAVA or XSLT mapping. However, I could not find any blog/ article which will help me understand, with an example, how this is actually coded (creating of a custom SOAP envelope).
Can anyone please point me to a valid blog/ article/ wiki which describes the procedure?
Thanks,
Pankaj.
P.S. Please no spamming of post with links on SOAP Envelope; I have already searched on SDN

Hello,
Here is a wiki using PI 7.1
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/SampleJAVAMappingcodeusingPI7.1+API
If you want to create a SOAP Envelope, comment out the codes
private static final DynamicConfigurationKey KEY_FILENAME =
         DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String inParam = arg0.getInputParameters().getString("PARAM_IN1");
     getTrace().addInfo("Input Parameter: " +inParam);
     int offset = inData.indexOf(inParam);
     //7. Reader Message ID from Message Header
     InputHeader messageHeader = arg0.getInputHeader();
     String messageId = messageHeader.getMessageId();
     //8. A DynamicConfiguration is a map containing adapter specific message attributes.
     // It associates DynamicConfigurationKeys with string values. The DynamicConfiguration object is obtained using
     // method getDynamicConfiguration()of class com.sap.aii.mapping.api.TransformationInput;
     DynamicConfiguration conf = arg0.getDynamicConfiguration();
     conf.put(KEY_FILENAME, "This Test file is set by JAVA Mapping");
     String outData = "";if(offset > 0){
     int offset1 = inData.indexOf(">", offset);
     String StartString =inData.substring(0,offset1);
     String DocumentNameSpace = " xmlns=\"urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.002.001.02\"";
     String RemainingString = inData.substring(offset1);
lastly, instead of using
outData = StartString + DocumentNameSpace + RemainingString;
replace it with something like this
String outData = "";
outData = "<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=\"http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope\" xmlns:tem=\"http://yournamespace/\"><soap:Header/><soap:Body>"+inData.substring(inData.indexOf("?>")+2)+"</soap:Body></soap:Envelope>";
Hope this helps,
Mark

UDF's and XSLT Mapping

Hi,
     I am very much confused when to use UDF's and when to use XSLT etc. Please make me to understand with good examples.

HI,
UDF's are user defined functions are of two types,simple UDF which takes in one input and gives out one output and the second one is advanced UDF where in u can access more than one fields,and the result is passed on to ResultList.
UDF can be used in graphical mapping depends upon the requirement.
1) If u wanted to do manuplication in data which can not be done by using the standared XI function that time we go for UDF.
2) For doing Lookup we write the code in UDF and pass the value to R3 system.
3) If u need to compare the input value and pass the other value based on comparision that time can go for UDF.
There are many different requirement for which we can go ahead with UDF.
What is XSLT:
XSLT stands for EXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations. It is an XML based language for transforming XML documents into any other formats suitable for browser to display, on the basis of set of well-defined rules.
It can be used to transform
     XML to XML - From one XML data format to another
     XML to Text
     XML to HTML/XHTML
     XML to PDF
A few example cases in which an XSLT mapping can be used:-
     When the required output is other than XML like Text, Html or XHTML (html displayed as XML )
     When default namespace coming from graphical mapping is not required or is to be changed as per requirements.
     When data is to be filtered based on certain fields (considering File as source)
     When data is to be sorted based on certain field (considering File as source)
     When data is to be grouped based on certain field (considering File as source).
Advantages of using XSLT mapping
     XSLT program itself defines its own target structure.
     XSLT programs can be imported into SAP XI. Message mapping step can be avoided. One can directly go for interface mapping once message interfaces are created and mapping is imported.
     XSLT provides use of number of standard XPath functions that can replaces graphical mapping involving user defined java functions easily.
     File content conversion at receiver side can be avoided in case of text or html output.
     Multiple occurrences of node within tree (source XML) can be handled easily.
     XSLT can be used in combination with graphical mapping.
     Multi-mapping is also possible using xslt.
     XSLT can be used with ABAP and JAVA Extensions.
But at the same XSLT has the disadvantages also.

Wanna learn XSLT mapping??

hi forum, i want to learn xslt mapping, can the forum pls help me....
and i want to know in which case XSLT mapping is better than java mapping and Graphical mapping

Hi Sudeep,
XSLT mapping is just a mapping similar to Message mapping available in the SAP XI, the xml mapped file is said to be XSLT mapping, A tool available from Stylus studio . it will be graphical one and very easy one.assume if u want to add zero in front of the
field we have to add that many zeros in that field thats it.. similar kind of lot of functions ready made available.
this will make the performance of the system bit slow.. if we use XSLT mapping and BPM then the interface is in Task ( will have performance impact a lot )
Advantage is we can mappe as we wish and import the file that it.
see the below links

XSLT Mapping scenario

Hi
     we have graphical mapping in Xi.. but most of them going for XSLT mapping.. i did't understood in what situation we need to go for XSLT mapping... is there any special features which are not possible in Graphical Mapping.. can you please suggest what are those.. and exactly when can go for XSLT mapping..
Thanks
Babu

Hi Babu,
1) What is XSLT
XSLT stands for EXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations. It is an XML based language for transforming XML documents into any other formats suitable for browser to display, on the basis of set of well-defined rules.
It can be used to transform
     XML to XML - From one XML data format to another
     XML to Text
     XML to HTML/XHTML
     XML to PDF
How is XSLT mapping different from Graphical, Java and ABAP mapping?
Graphical mapping is a common approach followed by everyone for generating desired target structure. It involves simple drag-n-drop to correlate respective nodes (fields) from source and target structure. It hardly involves coding. (Exception User defined functions).   But sometimes with graphical mapping it is difficult to produce required output. For example text/html output, namespace change, sorting or grouping of records etc. A person comfortable with Object Oriented ABAP can go for ABAP mapping instead. One can also think of Java mapping as another option but it is a bit complex and required knowledge of Java. In such cases, XSLT mapping can be the best approach to meet the requirements.
A few example cases in which an XSLT mapping can be used:-
     When the required output is other than XML like Text, Html or XHTML (html displayed as XML )
     When default namespace coming from graphical mapping is not required or is to be changed as per requirements.
     When data is to be filtered based on certain fields (considering File as source)
     When data is to be sorted based on certain field (considering File as source)
     When data is to be grouped based on certain field (considering File as source)
Advantages of using XSLT mapping
     XSLT program itself defines its own target structure.
     XSLT programs can be imported into SAP XI. Message mapping step can be avoided. One can directly go for interface mapping once message interfaces are created and mapping is imported.
     XSLT provides use of number of standard XPath functions that can replaces graphical mapping involving user defined java functions easily.
     File content conversion at receiver side can be avoided in case of text or html output.
     Multiple occurrences of node within tree (source XML) can be handled easily.
     XSLT can be used in combination with graphical mapping.
     Multi-mapping is also possible using xslt.
     XSLT can be used with ABAP and JAVA Extensions.
I hope u got the idea.
