Creation of stylesheets with some parameters

[Anne-Claire Trommenschlager <An...@steria.ch>]

Hi Dave,

You give me an answer few ago about how to create stylesheet in a dynamic
way, but I didn't understand what I have to do. I am french and sometimes my
english is so bad. I use Xalan-J-2.0.1 and jdk 1.3.

So I propose to take an example to what I want to do and maybe you can give
me a small example of JAVA code such I can begin to create one stylesheet. I
am lost.

My xml file is like :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<PRODUITS>
  <PRODUIT CODE="117885" CAT="TV">
    <NOM>TV 16/9</NOM>
    <REF>ASG 1609</REF>
    <MARQUE>XML TV</MARQUE>
    <PRIX>8750</PRIX>
  </PRODUIT>
  <PRODUIT CODE="118553" CAT="TV">
    <NOM>TV 51</NOM>
    <REF>ASG 5118</REF>
    <MARQUE>XML TV1</MARQUE>
    <PRIX>1200</PRIX>
  </PRODUIT>
 </PRODUITS> 

And I want to create I don't know how an XSL file :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<TABLE STYLE="width:100%">
<TR STYLE="background='lightgrey'">
<TD>Types of products</TD>
<TD>Names</TD>
<TD>Marks</TD>
<TD>References</TD>
<TD>Prices</TD>
</TR>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</TABLE>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="PRODUITS">
<xsl:for-each select="PRODUIT">
<xsl:element name="TR">

<xsl:element name="TD">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="self::node()[@CAT='TV']">Television</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>Produit inconnu</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="TD">
<xsl:value-of select="NOM"/>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="TD">
<xsl:value-of select="MARQUE"/>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="TD">
<xsl:value-of select="REF"/>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="TD">
<xsl:value-of select="PRIX"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet> 

I don't know what it is possible to do. In theory I suppose you can fixe a
structure. I always will have a table in HTML tree. The only differences are
the name of columns and the values of each select. I think I will have this
things in parameters or something like that.

Please help me
Thanks
