problem.
Two xml files
file 1
<fa>
<a name="a1">3</a>
<a name="a2">5</a>
<a name="a3">2</a>
<a name="new">1</a>
</fa>
file 2
<fb>
<a name="a1">1</a>
<a name="a3">1</a>
<a name="a4">2</a>
</fb>
required output
<res>
<a name="a1">4</a>
<a name="a2">5</a>
<a name="a3">3</a>
<a name="a4">2</a>
<a name="new">1</a>
</res>
I.e. I want to sum the corresponding elements to the output file.
Issues with my present solution.
Using a <for-each> on the input document I can add, to the output
using
processor:node-set(document(file-other.xml))/fx/a[@name=current()/@name]
the value of the corresponding element from the other file.
If I use file 1 as the main document source, I can catch those
which match in file 2, but not those unique to file 2 (<a name="new">
in the example.)
If I use file 2 as the main document source, I can get those
which match in file 1, but will miss those which are unique to file 1.
Can anyone suggest a method of ensuring that I capture in the output
all the <a> elements from either file, without using more extensions
if possible. I think its the cup function, but no one has come up
with this as an extension even ... or have they?
TIA DaveP
