Processing XSLT with more than one input variable

Question

Hi,
We have a requirement where we have to generate email body using XSL. But the fields that are to be included in the mail require contents of two different variables.
If we use 2 transforms for the above use case, we are not able to achieve what we want.
The content of the mail is to be formatted in a format similar as below. The content of the the 2nd transform is to be placed at some point inside the content of the first.
+<some content from 1st xsl transformation>+
+<content from 2nd xsl transformation>+
+<rest of the content from 1st xsl transformation>+
Please give your inputs on how we can handle such a transformation
Thanks and Regards
John

Hello John,
What you can do it combine the result set from these two variables into one single element based on a new custom xsd which is the combination of these two elements. Aftet doing this you can achieve the req with one transformation. Below is the sample combined xsd based on the two result sets, in this case the two result sets are from two db adapters(data from 2 tables).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns="http://www.example.org"
xmlns:db1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/top/dbadapter1"
xmlns:db2="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/top/dbadapter2"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.org"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:import namespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/top/dbadapter1
" schemaLocation="dbadapter1_table.xsd"/>
<xs:import namespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/top/dbadapter2"
schemaLocation="dbadapter2_table.xsd"/>
<xs:element name="CompositeElement">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="CompTableElement">
<xs:complexType>
     <xs:sequence>
          <xs:element ref="db1:root_element_from_db_adapter_1"/>
<xs:element name="FormulaDetail">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="db2:root_element_from_db_adapter_2"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
     </xs:sequence>
     </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
After you create this xsd, create an element of this type and use this as a source in your transformation.
Hope this helps
