Question

Struggling to work this one out; I have a (Tomcat6 ‘Context.xml’) default document, which is essentially this:

<Context>
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
</Context>

And I want to add ‘Resource’ and ‘Environmment as children of the outermost Context node; so I end up with:

<Context>
    <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
    <Resource name="abc"[...]/>
    <Environment name="xyz"[...]/>
</Context>

Using XSLT 1.0.

(I also would like to avoid the assumption that the node ‘WatchedResource’ is present in the document.)

Answer 1

<xsl:param name="new">
  <Resource name="abc..."/>
  <Environment name="xyz..."/>
</xsl:param>

<xsl:template match="Context">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:copy-of select="@* | node()"/>
    <xsl:copy-of select="$new"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

should suffice.
