Since the two are identicals except for one line (by
one word), I guess you don't need two XML as you don't
need two XSL either.One XML and one XSL can handle
this job.
What you could do is to write the line in which the
two XML are different in such a way that the xml
element of that line, contains attribute having as
value the word which makes the difference between the
two lines.
For instance: Let's say I have two shirts, one blue
and the other one black.If I consider the shirt as xml
element, I can point out the difference of color like
this:
<shirt color="blue" >some text here</shirt>
<shirt color="black"> some other text here</shirt>
Then you'll design your XSL in this way:
IF color=blue SHOW this
IF color=black SHOW this other
In your case , maybe you could write your XML in this
way:
<Object purpose="view.xml"></Object>
<Object purpose="edit.xml"></Object>
Then your stylesheet will check if the purpose value
is view.xml, then do the "view job", else if the value
is edit.xml then do the edit job.
I hope this solve your problem.
