FOP 1.0 - TLE values based on XML values
Hi, all. I am new to FOP.
I am successfully creating AFP files but now I am facing a problem with TLE
values.
It seems I can only set fixed values for TLE. I mean:
<afp:tag-logical-element name="User" value="John Doe"/>.
What I'd like to have is something like this:
<afp:tag-logical-element name="User" value="@User>
Is there someway to have this done? regards,
Simone

Great! It worked!!!
I had to set it this way <afp:tag-logical-element name="Job"
value="{Job/@Job}"/>

Hi,
This thread is related to issue #52969 (see [1]).
Please, discussing this issue on both places is not a good practice;
doing-it first on this list is a good start, then if a bug is revealed,
you can ask on buglist.
That said, I guess you set the value "@User" directly in your XSLT.
If this is the case, This will give you "@User" in resulting XSL-FO.
To get the value of User attribute, you need to use an <xsl-value-of>
element, or its short tag {}:
<afp:tag-logical-element name="User" value="{@User}"/>
If this is not the case, please give a short XSL-FO (not XSLT) that
demonstrates the issue, and explain what you expect and what you get.

It is exacly what I am doing.
I use Altova StyleVision to create an XSLT-FO.
When I have the XSLT-FO, I add the appropriate namespace to use FOP/AFP/TLE
extension.
In FOP, then, I pass XML and XSLT-FO to print directly, create a PDF, a FO or
(in this case) an AFP.
I still thank you and Peter for links posted but I can't still find the way to
set in XSLT-FO the code tho have TLE values based on XML data. I am stuck at
this point.

For the record, this is strictly an XSLT/XPath thing. Using the braces
{} in this manner is called an "attribute value template". This
instructs the XSLT processor to interpret the value of an attribute as
an XPath expression rather than simply a literal.

As Pascal Sancho advised me, to better understand here is the starting snippet
from my XSLT-FO until <afp:tag-logical-element name="Job" value="@Job"/>.
If anyone interested in, I can sent the entire XSLT-FO and an example of XML
to transform. Regards.

Hi Simone,
What you are writing below is not XSLT, it is XSL:FO. One usage of XSLT is to create an XSL:FO based on the XML data that you have. And this should be exactly what you need. The links written by Peter are a good starting point.

Hi, Peter. Thanks for your reply.
I am already applyng an XSLT transformation using FOP and its Tag Logical
Element (TLE) Extension.
As in http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/output.html#afp-tag-logical-
element, I declared the appropriate namespace in the fo:root element like this:
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
xmlns:afp="http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/extensions/afp">
then set in XSLT something like
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="simple">
<afp:tag-logical-element name="foo" value="bar"/>
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
and it works.
The problem is that I have to create dynamic TLE values based on XML data and
was looking for a suggestion to accomplish this since anything I tried did not
work.
Regards.

Hi Simone,
Have you considered applying an XSLT transform to the fo document, or
during any process you may have that generates the fo? An explanation
of the steps required to achieve this are outside of the scope of this
mailing list: If you are new to XSLT, try taking a look at [1] and

Good luck!
