Re: Recursively including all dependencies of an element

Thank you very much for your help. This is a real improvement from my
ugly hack!

result tree fragments. If using XSLT2 is an option then that particular
problem goes away as rtf is no more (node sets are also gone) both
replaced by sequences.

I honestly don't even know what XSLT processor I'm using, at the
moment; it's whatever default Ant 1.7 has when running on Java 1.6
(Xalan?). I can switch to whatever I want, as this will just end up
part of the build process. The actual problem is to reduce a WSDL
document to a smaller one based upon a parameter that lists the high-
level services to include. I worked my way through the services,
bindings, port-types, and messages based upon that input parameter.
And, with some help from the kind people on this list, I got the
initial list of the custom xs:simpleTypes and xs:complexTypes needed
to support the selected messages, but I then need to recursively work
through their dependencies.

As I said in my original message, I had this working, but wasn't happy
with the technique. I'm glad to know that there is something better;
and I'll be updating my style*** soon with your suggestions.


I'm not quite sure what output format you want but probably something
like this in xslt1 will chase your dependencies

I actually need to output format to be identical to the input format,
just with a smaller set of elements chosen. It was pretty simple to
modify your suggestion, though, to get that. Thank you again for your
help.
