Creating multiple tables using a single XSL stylesheet?

[Kevin K.]

Hello,

 

My knowledge is limited about XML technologies.  I am trying creating PDF files from Value Objects(VO). I am following the following way:

1. VO -> XML
2. Create XSL Stylesheet then
3.  Use FOP with XML and XSL Stylesheet files to create PDF file.

I am having problem with creating XSL Stylesheet. I am trying to create it manually. How can I create XSL Stylesheet? Is there any good tutorial about it?

Now, I want to output two tables. Both categories are found within the same XML source but need to be placed in separate tables. Here is my xsl Stylesheet code:

 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.1" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" exclude-result-prefixes="fo">
  <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="yes"/>
 
  <xsl:template match="projectteam">
    <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
      <fo:layout-master-set>
        <fo:simple-page-master master-name="simpleA4" page-height="29.7cm" page-width="21cm" margin-top="2cm" margin-bottom="2cm" margin-left="2cm" margin-right="2cm">
          <fo:region-body/>
        </fo:simple-page-master>
      </fo:layout-master-set>
      <fo:page-sequence master-reference="simpleA4">
        <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
          <fo:block font-size="16pt" font-weight="bold" space-after="5mm">Project: <xsl:value-of select="projectname"/>
          </fo:block>
          <fo:block font-size="10pt">
            <fo:table>
             <fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(3)"/>
  <fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(1)"/>
        <fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(3)" />
  
  <fo:table-header>
     <fo:table-row>
        <fo:table-cell border="solid black 1px" padding="1em" border-collapse="collapse">
   <fo:block text-align="justify" font-weight="bold">Column 1</fo:block>
        </fo:table-cell>
  
        <fo:table-cell border="solid black 1px" padding="1em" border-collapse="collapse">
    <fo:block text-align="justify" font-weight="bold">Column 2</fo:block>
        </fo:table-cell>
  
        <fo:table-cell border="solid black 1px" padding="1em" border-collapse="collapse">
    <fo:block text-align="justify" font-weight="bold">Column 3</fo:block>
        </fo:table-cell>
     </fo:table-row>
  </fo:table-header>
             
              <fo:table-body>
                <xsl:apply-templates/>
              </fo:table-body>
            </fo:table>
          </fo:block>
        </fo:flow>
      </fo:page-sequence>
    </fo:root>
  </xsl:template>
 
  <xsl:template match="member">
    <fo:table-row>
     
      <fo:table-cell border="solid black 1px" padding="1em" border-collapse="collapse">
       <fo:block>
           <xsl:value-of select="name"/>
        </fo:block>
      </fo:table-cell>
     
      <fo:table-cell border="solid black 1px" padding="1em" border-collapse="collapse">
             <fo:block>
                 <xsl:value-of select="function"/>
              </fo:block>
      </fo:table-cell>
     
      <fo:table-cell border="solid black 1px" padding="1em" border-collapse="collapse">
             <fo:block>
                 <xsl:value-of select="email"/>
              </fo:block>
      </fo:table-cell>
     
    </fo:table-row>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

 

Thanks in advance...
