XML identity transform does not "copy" attributes

[apie_be]

Hi,

I have an XML file which I would like to resort based on 2 attribute values. I use for this an XSL file. When I apply the stylesheet to the XML, the XML file is sorted just the way I want it, but all attributes are gone.

I've tried for hours looking on the net to find a solution. Can anyone help me?

Thank you...

You need to apply templates for the attributes separately:<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>

[apie_be]

Thank you. This works excelent.

Just one thing. In the output file has only <?xml version="1.0"?> instead of <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>.

Is there a way to have the encoding included?

Thanx

[Charles]

Yes but it might be a bit processor dependant. Which one are you using?

Mindfusion XML Viewer

[Charles]

I'm not familiar with that one. Check its documentation. There should be something in there.

[apie_be]

For those interested, the solution:


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="utf-8"/>

<xsl:template match="CodingList">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:sort select="@name" data-type="text" order="ascending"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="CodeValues">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:sort select="@code" data-type="number" order="ascending"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*|node()|text()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:transform>
