Hi Dave,
I've used some simple workarounds to "make a copy" of a node. So, while
not cloning the node per say, in my case a copy was "good enough".
Perhaps it might be for you?
Mind, this uses an exslt function (which xalan-j supports of course).
e.g.:
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common";
extension-element-prefixes="exsl">
...
<xsl:variable name="cat_temp">
<xsl:for-each select="$category_blog">
<xsl:element name="category">
<xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of
select="@name"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="type"><xsl:value-of
select="@type"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="mode">blog</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="$category_podcast">
<xsl:element name="category">
<xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of
select="@name"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="type"><xsl:value-of
select="@type"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="mode">podcast</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="category_defs"
select="exsl:node-set($cat_temp)/category"/>
...
What this does is aggregate two node sets into a single one
(category_defs) so they could be sorted, etc...
Hope that helps,
