Question

I have some xml XML Document with duplicate tag names like below ::

<ROOT>
    <RECORD>
        <ID>A1</ID>
        <NAME>Name1</NAME>
        <ADDRESS>StreetName</ADDRESS>
        <ADDRESS>CityName</ADDRESS>
        <ADDRESS>State</ADDRESS>
        <ADDRESS>321</ADDRESS>
        <PHONE>12345</PHONE>
    </RECORD>
    <RECORD>
        <ID>A1</ID>
        <NAME>Name1</NAME>
        <ADDRESS>StreetName</ADDRESS>
        <ADDRESS>CityName</ADDRESS>
        <ADDRESS>State</ADDRESS>
        <ADDRESS>123</ADDRESS>
        <PHONE>12345</PHONE>
    </RECORD>
</ROOT>

So i have to get total address but when i am applying XSLT i am getting only First Tag Value.
Is there any possibilty to change that ADDRESS tag names to apropriate Tag names like STREET, CITY,STATE and ZIP Tags.

This transformation:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 xmlns:my="my:my">
 <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
 <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

 <my:reps>
  <rep pos="1">STREET</rep>
  <rep pos="1">CITY</rep>
  <rep pos="1">STATE</rep>
  <rep pos="1">ZIP</rep>
 </my:reps>

 <xsl:variable name="vReps"
      select="document('')/*/my:reps/*"/>

 <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
  <xsl:copy>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
  </xsl:copy>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="ADDRESS">
  <xsl:variable name="vPos" select=
     "count(preceding-sibling::ADDRESS)+1"/>
  <xsl:element name="{$vReps[position()=$vPos]}">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:element>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

when applied on the provided XML document:

<ROOT>
    <RECORD>
        <ID>A1</ID>
        <NAME>Name1</NAME>
        <ADDRESS>StreetName</ADDRESS>
        <ADDRESS>CityName</ADDRESS>
        <ADDRESS>State</ADDRESS>
        <ADDRESS>321</ADDRESS>
        <PHONE>12345</PHONE>
    </RECORD>
    <RECORD>
        <ID>A1</ID>
        <NAME>Name1</NAME>
        <ADDRESS>StreetName</ADDRESS>
        <ADDRESS>CityName</ADDRESS>
        <ADDRESS>State</ADDRESS>
        <ADDRESS>123</ADDRESS>
        <PHONE>12345</PHONE>
    </RECORD>
</ROOT>

produces the wanted, correct result:

<ROOT>
   <RECORD>
      <ID>A1</ID>
      <NAME>Name1</NAME>
      <STREET>StreetName</STREET>
      <CITY>CityName</CITY>
      <STATE>State</STATE>
      <ZIP>321</ZIP>
      <PHONE>12345</PHONE>
   </RECORD>
   <RECORD>
      <ID>A1</ID>
      <NAME>Name1</NAME>
      <STREET>StreetName</STREET>
      <CITY>CityName</CITY>
      <STATE>State</STATE>
      <ZIP>123</ZIP>
      <PHONE>12345</PHONE>
   </RECORD>
</ROOT>

Explanation:

Overriding the identity rule with a template matching ADDRESS and generating an element according to the position of this ADDRESS element.
