I'm trying to build an XSLT file to:

  1. check if a node exists, and if it doesn't to fill it in with a "0"

  2. if the node does exists, check to make sure each attribute is present, and if there's a missing attribute fill it in with a "0"

I figured I can do this with a <xsl:if/> but I'd like to avoid this because there's around 56 attributes I'd have to check for.

Here's what the main XML looks like:

<player name="KLINE, Zach" shortname="KLINE, Zach" checkname="KLINE,ZACH" uni="1Q" class="SR" gp="1" code="1Q"> <rush att="1" yds="11" gain="11" loss="0" td="0" long="11"></rush> <pass comp="7" att="11" int="1" yds="110" td="0" long="32" sacks="0" sackyds="0"></pass> </player> <player name="JORDAN, Jamire" shortname="JORDAN, Jamire" checkname="JORDAN,JAMIRE" uni="1" class="SO" gp="1" code="1"> <rush att="1" yds="1" gain="1" loss="0" td="0" long="1"></rush> <rcv no="5" yds="52" td="0" long="16"></rcv> </player>

The output should look like this:

<player name="KLINE, Zach" shortname="KLINE, Zach" checkname="KLINE,ZACH" uni="1Q" class="SR" gp="1" code="1Q"> <rush att="1" yds="11" gain="11" loss="0" td="0" long="11"></rush> <pass comp="7" att="11" int="1" yds="110" td="0" long="32" sacks="0" sackyds="0"></pass> <rcv no="0" yds="0" td="0" long="0"></rcv> </player> <player name="JORDAN, Jamire" shortname="JORDAN, Jamire" checkname="JORDAN,JAMIRE" uni="1" class="SO" gp="1" code="1"> <rush att="1" yds="1" gain="1" loss="0" td="0" long="1"></rush> <pass comp="0" att="0" int="0" yds="0" td="0" long="0" sacks="0" sackyds="0"></pass> <rcv no="5" yds="52" td="0" long="16"></rcv> </player>

This seems like an ideal case to use xsl:attribute-set. Consider the following simplified example:

XML

<root> <player name="KLINE, Zach"> <rush att="1" yds="11" gain="11"/> </player> <player name="JORDAN, Jamire"> <rcv yds="52" long="16"/> </player> <player name="SMITH, Adam"/> </root>

XSLT 1.0

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/> <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> <xsl:attribute-set name="rush"> <xsl:attribute name="att">0</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="yds">0</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="gain">0</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="loss">0</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="td">0</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="long">0</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> <xsl:attribute-set name="rcv"> <xsl:attribute name="no">0</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="yds">0</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="td">0</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="long">0</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> <!-- identity transform --> <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="player"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/> <rush xsl:use-attribute-sets="rush"> <xsl:apply-templates select="rush/@*"/> </rush> <rcv xsl:use-attribute-sets="rcv"> <xsl:apply-templates select="rcv/@*"/> </rcv> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>

Result

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <root> <player name="KLINE, Zach"> <rush att="1" yds="11" gain="11" loss="0" td="0" long="0"/> <rcv no="0" yds="0" td="0" long="0"/> </player> <player name="JORDAN, Jamire"> <rush att="0" yds="0" gain="0" loss="0" td="0" long="0"/> <rcv no="0" yds="52" td="0" long="16"/> </player> <player name="SMITH, Adam"> <rush att="0" yds="0" gain="0" loss="0" td="0" long="0"/> <rcv no="0" yds="0" td="0" long="0"/> </player> </root>
