Description
-
Foreach node is similar to the <xsl:for-each> instruction. It allows
iteration
on a set of XML sub-trees. This is the only node in Ejen that changes current node
context (like the XSL for-each instruction).
The select attribute may be any valid XPath expression (either absolute
or relative to the current node).
...
<foreach select="class-definition[@language='java']">
<filter uri="java-prepare.xsl"/>
...
<template uri="java-output.xsl" save="{@name}.java"/>
...
</foreach>
... |
Here, foreach child nodes (eg: template, filter, ...)
will be applied to each class-definition sub-tree whose language
attribute is set to "java".
Note that even if the foreach node changes current node context,
the entire XML tree is always accessible in template and
filter stylesheets by the mean of a "root" parameter (see
param node).

Attribute Detail
- base
-
this is a generic block attribute that allows URI base redefinition: all
uri attributes used in children nodes of this block will be
relative to this new base definition (except if there is another child block
node that redefines a new base). This is only a convenience attribute in
order to simplify URI specifications. A base attribute must be a valid (well
formed) URI, absolute or relative to another base definition.
- select
-
any valid XPath expression (either absolute or relative to the current node).
Children
- catch, choose, depends, echo, filter, finally, foreach, if, remove, save, sax, source, template, try, variable
