Question

I am trying this and cannot seem to get it to work. Can someone take a look and see if I am missing something obvious.

I am referencing the extra doc like this in test.xsl.

<xsl:value-of select="document('/customercare/library/test/test1.xml')/resources/resource/name" />

This is the xml test1.xml.

<resources>
    <resource>  
        <name>configuration</name>
    </resource> 
</resources>

This is the fragment call in my asp page index.aspx.

<%
            Dim mm_xsl As MM.XSLTransform = new MM.XSLTransform()
            mm_xsl.setXML(Server.MapPath("/customercare/library/test/test2.xml"))
            mm_xsl.setXSL(Server.MapPath("/customercare/library/test/test.xsl"))            
            Response.write(mm_xsl.Transform())
        %>

I am architecting a site that will have several hundred products. I would like to have one xml doc that contains high level details such as name and image path for every product that can be sourced from everywhere, this would have a unique schema. Then have another xml doc with a unique schema that contains items specific to a sub section such as support that would contain document paths, phone numbers and etc.

My question is how do I source both xml documents from within a single xslt?

Thanks

Have a look at the document() function.
