Counter in xsl with xalan

["Mikael Petterson (KI/EAB)" <mi...@ericsson.com>]

Hi,

Since there is no counter in xsl that is, where I can increment a number
( independent) of nodes.

I am using xalan to generate the following code:

new String [] {"eAgchCodes_name0",
"eAgchCodes_name1",..."eAgchCodes_name3"}

This is how the xml looks like:

<structMember name="eAgchCodes">
            <description>One to four codes.
            </description>
            <sequence>
                <long>
                    <range>
                        <min>0</min> <max>255</max>
                    </range>
                </long>
                <maxLength>4</maxLength>
            </sequence>
 </structMember>

In order to generate the names I need a counter to increase each time
until all four strings have been generated.
Any ideas how I can do that with Xalan-Java? Extensions?

cheers,

Use recursion, passing the current count to a named template and
incrementing it.
