XSLT issues

I have following queries regarding XSLT process...
1. In my Empty BPEL process I am receiving data through db partnerlink (through polling) and I am converting it through Transform activity. This time I am only validating my xslt through GUI only. At runtime what xml will be generated, how I can see it? Is there any way to output/log it?
2. I want one more help from you. In xslt code, I need to put some transformation logic eg. if-else according to the specific value, check for null, blank values etc. Somewhere I read that I can do all this validation in java code also. What will be comfortable?
3. Through TRANSFORM activity, the resultant tags are prefixed with namespace 'ns0'. How I can remove it. Is that possible in the same transform process?
Please reply for my all queries.

Hi,
Below are the answers you need:
1. For validating the xml against the schema, add a validate activity in the BPEL process after the transform activity. This will validate the xml at runtime. XML can be viewed in BPEL Console instance. You can also view in the opmn logs if the debug level is set to Debug.
2. Transformation logic can be done by user defined extension functions in java. Ideally java should be used if the logic is generic. The choice totally depends on the requirement.
3. In xslt, default target namespace prefix will be ns0 if xslt is created using JDev. You can modify the namespace from xmlns:ns0=... to xmlns=... and remove ns0 prefix from the tags. You will see errors if you try to open this in Design mode. However, it works perfectly on the server.

XSLT Issue : Without the target file mapping is happening

Hi,
In one of my composite, which is a provider abcs transforms source to target, where in the transformation file, source and target are mentioned as usual, both are pointing to MDS locations.
Source file is physically present in the MDS, but the target file is not present but still the transformation happening.
The flow is like below.
ProviderABCS -> Adapter service which will write the file.
Some time the file is created with data and some time only the file is created without data.
My question is how come there is no exception caught ? If i keep the target schema or wsdl file in MDS will this issue get resolved ?
Thanks,
Vijay

When i try to open the xslt file with designer view its complaining that the target file is missing, but when i deploy, iam able to deploy and run with some instances.
Still investigating.. wll update you.. soon. In the mean time if any body have any other idea.. plz update the thread.
Thanks,

XSLT issue: copy-of

Hi friends,
I'm now having an issue when using copy-of in XSLT:
I have a top node called PutXMLDocument, a second level node XMLString, and 3 level nodes in my xml. With a XSLT mapping, I'd like to move all contents of 3 level nodes into 2nd level node "XMLString". I know I should use copy-of command, but what select statement I shall use for this problem?
Or more simply: What's the XPATH expression for all descendant nodes of current node?
Any hints is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Luis

Hi,
<xsl:copy-of>Creates a copy of the current node (with child nodes and attributes)
Check this eg-

Disable-output-escaping xslt issue in Oracle 10.1.3.0

we are using DBMS XSLT processor for transformin xml to html in oracle 10.1.3.0.
When we use disable_output_escaping in the xslt, not working in oracle 10.1.3.0 . But when we use the same xslt in java xslt processor disable_output_escaping is working fine.
Is there any solution for disable_output_escaping bug in oracle 10.1.3.0.

There is no Oracle version numbered 10.1.3.0.
Perhaps you have 10.1.0.3 in which case you've quite a few patches you could and should install. Check the metalink docs and see if the issue is addressed.

XSLT issue

Hi,
In my project I have used same schema for service A and B. A calls B service (both the services have different namespace). A is a mediator and B is BPEL. Now A transform the incoming message before calling B. But A mediator service XSLT transformation is not transforming one node (of type ANY). Its a business event schema. In the output xml file, this node which is of Type ANY is coming as empty. I then used another schema in for this node for both the services. This new schema has a different namespace. This time also this node coming as empty. Please help me.

Use like this to match anyType before mapping/copying nodes
<xsl:template match="anyType[@xsi:type = '<Business Event Schema>']" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

XSLT Issue with Apostrophes

I have a service that reads information from a database and uses the Query Database for Multiple Rows to XML component. The next step in the service is an XSLT that essentially removes all the type="VARCHAR" attributes that the component adds.
We began running live data through and now the XSLT is erroring out because some of the values that get queried contain apostrophes and the XSL component won't read it correctly. Is there anything I can do in the XSL Stylesheet to get allow it figure out that?
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help!

Hi Ryan
You may want to preprocess the results to turn these characters into their XML "escaped" equivalents.
e.g. ' for '
See http://www.xmlnews.org/docs/xml-basics.html
We also have a SQPlus component that does what the Adobe component does, plus quite a bit more. We'd be happy to talk to you about adding a facility into that for automatically escaping non-allowed characters.
If you'd like to explore this option, please contact me at htreisman-at-avoka.com

SharePoint 2010 & 2013 and Office-365 Branding and Front End Customization, UI Design

Hi,
In SharePoint 2013, we can use JSLink to achieve it.
1. Save the following code as a js file (URLPopup.js) and upload it into the
SiteAssets Document Library.
// List View – Field open modal dialog Sample
(function () {
// Create object that have the context information about the field that we want to change it output render
var linkFiledContext = {};
linkFiledContext.Templates = {};
linkFiledContext.Templates.Fields = {
//Apply the new rendering for URL field on List View
// "URL" is the column name.
"URL": { "View": URLFiledTemplate }
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(linkFiledContext);
// This function provides the rendering logic for list view
function URLFiledTemplate(ctx) {
var itemTitle=ctx.CurrentItem.Title;
var urlLink=ctx.CurrentItem.URL;
var urlDesc=ctx.CurrentItem['URL.desc'];
if(urlLink!=null&&urlLink!=""){
if(itemTitle=="Suggestion Box"){
return "<a href='#' onclick=\"openModalDialog('"+urlLink+"')\">"+urlDesc+"</a>";
}else{
return "<a href='"+urlLink+"' target='_blank'>"+urlDesc+"</a>";
}else{
return "";
function openModalDialog(url)
var options = {
title: "Suggestion Box",
autoSize: true,
url: url
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
return false;
2.Edit the list view page.
3.Edit the list web part. Go to Miscellaneous -> JS Link.
4.Add the following URL into the JS Link textbox.
~site/SiteAssets/URLPopup.js
5.Click "OK" and save the page.

BizTalk Map - Xslt Issue

Hi,
Here is a piece of xslt, i need to replace the characters with their shortcode which are not supported in xml.
For eg i need to replace '&' to '&amp' and similarly all other characters as mentioned
Unsupported characters and their replacements:
& - &
< - <
> - >
" - "
' - '
XSLT:
<xsl:if test="/*[local-name()='Root' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/aggschema']/*[local-name()='InputMessagePart_1' and namespace-uri()='']/*[local-name()='GetOrderDetailsByIdResponse' and namespace-uri()='http://tempuri.org/']/*[local-name()='GetOrderDetailsByIdResult'
and namespace-uri()='http://tempuri.org/']/*[local-name()='TermsAndConditionList' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/GEP.Cumulus.P2P.BusinessEntities']/*[local-name()='TermsAndCondition' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Gep.Cumulus.CSM.Entities']/*[local-name()='TermsConditionText'

</TermsAndCondition>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
</TermsAndConditions>
</HeaderExtrinsic>
</Extrinsic>
</xsl:if>
[Need to do it in the value coming from termandcondition text ie s9:TermsConditionText]
Thanks in Advance

Then go back to the source and explain to them that this is not valid XML, and you cannot consume it. Have you tried opening this XML in a web browser? or have an XML Disassemble Pipeline Component consume it?
It should be
<ns5:TermsConditionText>Terms&conditions</ns5:TermsConditionText>
From the source, otherwise you will not be able to parse it as XML.

XSLT substring issue

Hi All,
I've got XSLT issue.
Suppose in XML I have string like that :
world.country.town.Moskow.SomeOtherValue
Capitalized word/s/ is/are/ always at the end.
Using XSLT how to get substring returning capitalized words only i.e Moskow.SomeOtherValue
Thanks

Hi,
Here are two possible solutions :
1) If you can run XSLT 2.0, then you may use a regular expression :
Sample XML :
<test>world.country.town.Moskow.SomeOtherValue</test>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:analyze-string select="test" regex="\.([A-Z].*)$">
<xsl:matching-substring>
    <result><xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)"/></result>
</xsl:matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
output :
<result>Moskow.SomeOtherValue</result>2) With XSLT 1.0, you can use a recursive template to analyze the string :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<result>
    <xsl:call-template name="find_cap_words">
      <xsl:with-param name="in" select="test"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
</result>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="find_cap_words">
<xsl:param name="in"/>
<xsl:variable name="rem" select="substring-after($in,'.')"/>
<xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="translate(substring($rem,1,1),'_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','_')=''">
          <xsl:value-of select="$rem"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:call-template name="find_cap_words">
        <xsl:with-param name="in" select="$rem"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
output :
<result>Moskow.SomeOtherValue</result>Hope that helps.

XML-webpart, XML-list query and custom XSLT

I am managing some lists on SharePoint 2007. And I need to present different parts of my lists using the XML-query (XMLDATA=TRUE) URL for the list.
The XML from the URL is fine, and I am able to save the XML as a file and used custom XSLT to present the list as needed...locally.
The Saved XML-file is however static, and subsequent changes to the content of the list in SharePoint will not be reflected.
I am currently attempting to load the XML directly from the "XMLDATA=TRUE" URL via the "link" form in the XML WebPart. But for some reason I get "Failed to apply XSLT to the content." for this operation.
I was worried for a while that for some reason the XSLT was buggy. But testing the following offline works fine:
./msxsl.exe -xw -o list.html list.xml list.xslt
Where "list.xml" is the XML-file displayed and saved from the (XMLDATA=TRUE) URL for the list.
-To attempt a debug on XSLT issues I even entered a bare XSLT in the WebPart:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
But sadly this does not seem to have any effect on the Error-message displayed.
I would appreciate very much if someone somewhere had a hint on where to go from here.
/Mikael

Well...it seems the obvious slipped my mind I'll close the question.
I guess it's a bit far fetched to ask SharePoint to serve the URL as an XML-file if the result of the call to the URL is not an XML-file itself.
But I am still working for a fix somehow.
It seems I have to dig into the Sphagetti code of Sharepoint to create a single page using a customer Master to hold the XML-file via ASPX...
Seems a bit cumbersome...but it may just work.

XSLT mapping issue in parent child relation

Hi Guys,
i have one XSLT mapping issue. Mapping scenario is from IDoc to file.
IDoc structure is as below
<ZLOIPRO1>
<E1AFKOL>
     <A></A>
     <B></B>
     <E1RESBL>
         <MATNR>1</MATNR>
         <CHARG>1</CHARG>
         <ZSBL>
             <MTART>ABC</MTART>
         </ZSB>
     </E1RESBL>
     <E1RESBL>
         <MATNR>2</MATNR>
         <CHARG>2</CHARG>
         <ZSBL>
             <MTART>ZHA1</MTART>
         </ZSB>
     </E1RESBL>
     <E1RESBL>
         <MATNR>3</MATNR>
         <CHARG>3</CHARG>
         <ZSBL>
             <MTART>ZHA1</MTART>
         </ZSB>
     </E1RESBL>
</E1AFKOL>
</ZLOIPRO1>
As you can see 'E1RESBL' is repeatative. Now my issue is i need to select 'MATNR' and 'CHARG' from 'E1RESBL' segment when first occurance of 'ZSBL/MTART' with value 'ZHA1' appears. i.e. my output would be MATNR = 2 and CHARG = 2.
I hope i am clear. Please let me know if any solution for this.

Hi,
Try this
<xsl:if test="./ZSBL/MTART == 'ZHA1'">
<xsl:for-each select="./E1RESBL">
<MATNR>
   <xsl:value-of select="./MATNR"/>
</MATNR>
<BATCH>
   <xsl:value-of select="./CHARG"/>
</BATCH>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:if>
You might need to do some changes in the above.
Thanks,
Prakash

Issue in tranforming Idoc structure using XSLT mapping

Hi,
I am working on the XSLT Mapping to transform the IDoc xml to the desired format.
Source structure single Idoc:
EDI_DC40 record
E1EDKxx records
E1EDPxx records
E1EDSxx records
suppose I have 4 E1EDP01 records, of which 2 are Original and next two are corresponding Correction E1EDP01 records.
I want the target Idoc to be:
EDI_DC40 record
E1EDKxx records and for (E1EDK14/ORGID = G2O)
E1EDPxx records (1st Original E1EDP01 segment)
E1EDSxx records
E1EDKxx records for (E1EDK14/ORGID = G2)
E1EDPxx records (1st corresponding correction E1EDP01 segment)
E1EDSxx records
E1EDKxx records for (E1EDK14/ORGID = G2O)
E1EDPxx records (2nd Original E1EDP01 segment)
E1EDSxx records
E1EDKxx records for (E1EDK14/ORGID = G2)
E1EDPxx records (2nd Corresponding correction E1EDP01segment)
E1EDSxx records
so correction segments follows original segments.
All the E1EDSxx records are identical. remaining all the other segments are Idential except the above changes.
correlate original and correction E1EDP01 segments is through POSEX of Original = HIPOS of Correction..
bold segments represents Original records
Italic segments represents correction records
How to achieve the above scenario. I am finding issue in generating and correlating the E1EDP01 segments using <key> element. and changing the vales in E1EDK14

Issue in XSLT mappings in PI7.1

Dear all,
Problem Desc:
We have a scenario in PI 7.0 with XSLT mapping. It was working fine there. But when it was transported to PI 7.1, we are facing issues.
The issue is that, XSLT mapping with Java Enhancements is not working when we uncheck the SAP XML Toolkit option, in Operation Mapping.
The error statement says" The XSLT stylesheet could not be compiled".
Please note that, the Java Class being used in the XSLT mapping has been compiled with JAVA 1.5
Did any one encounter a similar error, If yes, please share your responses and help us in resolving the issue.
Regards,
Younus

The issue is that, XSLT mapping with Java Enhancements is not working when we uncheck the SAP XML Toolkit option, in Operation Mapping
Since the XSLT was working for PI7.0 and not working for PI7.1 you need to use SAP XML Toolkit option in your Operation Mapping.....not using this option results in faster execution of the XSLT mapping but then your XSLT mapping should be changed accordingly to work with JDK 5 if you intend not to use the toolkit option....for more information refer this help section:

Hi Santosh,
add the source namespace with a prefix:

do it most simple generic without path
do not forget the prefix
ns0:
use xsl:value-of:
xsl:value-of select="//ns0:notification"

Issue with XSLT Mapping

Hi Team,
I have one requirements which I am explaining below:
Source structure should be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_Student xmlns:ns0="urn:bp:xi:hr:edm:test:100">
   <Data>
      <FName>
      <LName>
      <Marks>                            Here Data fiels is 0......Unbounded.
                <Maths>
                <Science>
</ns0:MT_Student>
and Target structure must be like below:
<MT_Student_Result>
<Data>
      <Name>                         Here data field is 0......Unbounded.
      <Marks>
               <Total_Marks>
In the target structure Filed "Name" is obtained by concating "FName" and "LName" in the source structure
and the field "Total_Marks" is the sum of field "Maths" and "Science" in the source structure.
I have used XSLT mapping to obtain this.I have got the value of the "Name" field in the Target structure as required but I am not getting the value of the field "Total_Marks" in the target structure as required.Every time I am putting any value the result is comming as "NaN" as a value of the field "Total_Marks".Can you explain what is the issue?I am providing the code that I have done
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" xmlns:fo="urn:bp:xi:hr:edm:test:100" xmlns:ns0="urn:bp:xi:hr:edm:test:100">

<xsl:for-each select="ns0:MT_Student/Data">
<xsl:variable name="name" select="FName"/>
<xsl:variable name="surname" select="LName"/>
<Data>
<Name>
<xsl:value-of select="concat($name,'',$surname)"/>

</xsl:for-each>
</MT_Student_Result>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
Edited by: ATANU1 on Mar 17, 2011 1:40 PM

Hei,
you have to add the namespace prefix to each element of the path (and of course: check out if the hierarchy is matching)
ns0:MT_Student/ns0:Data/ns0:Marks/ns0:Science
