Reading another xml from xslt and append the exising

Hi Experts,

My xslt is running on some xml.

Now I need to create a node list (Its basically xml file) from my new xml file while reading from same xslt

I mean I need to read another xml below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<minisitemaps>
	<minimap name="news">
		<location>about/News/News_SiteMap.aspx</location>
		<lastmodified>hgfhfg</lastmodified>
		<addpuburl>true</addpuburl>
	</minimap>
	<minimap name="FAQ">
		<location>Help/faq/FAQ_SiteMap.aspx</location>
		<lastmodified>jhkhkl</lastmodified>
		<addpuburl>true</addpuburl>
	</minimap>
</minisitemaps>

Open in new window

and wants to create following output

<sitemap>
	<loc>
		http://www.xyz.com/about/News/News_SiteMap.aspx
	</loc>
	<lastmod>
		hgfhfg
	</lastmod>
</sitemap>

<sitemap>
	<loc>
		http://www.xyz.com/Help/faq/FAQ_SiteMap.aspx
	</loc>
	<lastmod>
		jhkhkl
	</lastmod>
</sitemap>

Open in new window

It should create the nodes from template "DynamicPages"

<xsl:template match="??????" mode="DynamicPages">

Open in new window

Here is my sample xslt

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:utils="urn:XSLTExtensions" exclude-result-prefixes="utils">


	<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="no" />

	<xsl:param name="hostPrefix">http://www.xyz.com</xsl:param>
	<xsl:variable name="sitemap">/sitemap.xml</xsl:variable>
	<xsl:variable name="minisitemap">/minisitemap.xml</xsl:variable>


	<xsl:variable name="News_sitemap">/about/News/News_SiteMap.aspx</xsl:variable>
	<xsl:variable name="FAQ_sitemap">/help/faqs/FAQ_SiteMap.aspx</xsl:variable>

	<xsl:template match="/">

		<sitemapindex xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/siteindex.xsd">
			<xsl:variable name="modified" select="utils:FileModified($sitemap)" />
			<xsl:if test="$modified != ''">
				<sitemap>
					<loc>
						<xsl:value-of select="concat($hostPrefix, $sitemap)"/>
					</loc>
					<lastmod>
						<xsl:value-of select="$modified"/>
					</lastmod>
				</sitemap>

			</xsl:if>
			<xsl:apply-templates select="/sitedata/region/site/language" mode="DynamicPages"/>


		</sitemapindex>
	</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="??????" mode="DynamicPages">
		<xsl:if test="$modified != ''">
			<sitemap>
				<loc>
					<xsl:value-of select="concat($hostPrefix, @url, $location)"/>
				</loc>
				<lastmod>
					<xsl:value-of select="$modified"/>
				</lastmod>
			</sitemap>
		</xsl:if>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

At the location where you want the sitemaps to start, call out for the other doc

<xsl:apply-templates select="document('otherdocname')" mode="DynamicPages"/>

All you need then is handling that seperate tree using the same mode

<xsl:template match="minisitemaps" mode="DynamicPages">

Many Thanks, it works great.

I wanted to put 'otherdocname' path in variable.

If otherdocname does not exists or otherdocname is blank then I do not wanted to call template

<xsl:apply-templates select="document('otherdocname')" mode="DynamicPages"/>

Basically I wanted to make this generic. If document is passed in varaiable as parameter then tempplate should call else not

Please suggest
