I am trying to pass two parameters through URL in XSLT file by using ColdFusion.
This is my XSLT code:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text>Actors: </xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select="/movies/movie/actors/actor/name"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="name">
<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute name="href">actor_details.cfm?movieID=<xsl:value-of select="../../../@movieID"/>&actorID=<xsl:value-of select="../@actorID"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="br" />
</xsl:template>
This is my actor_details.cfm file
<cfset MyXmlFile = Expandpath("test.xml")>
<cffile action="READ" variable="xmlInput" file="#MyXmlFile#">
<cfset MyXslFile = Expandpath("actor_details.xsl")>
<cffile action="READ" variable="xslInput" file="#MyXslFile#">
<cfset xslParam = StructNew() >
<cfset xslParam["movieID"] = "#url.movieID#" >
<cfset xmlOutput = XMLTransform(xmlInput, xslInput, xslParam )>
<!--- data is output --->
<cfcontent type="text/html" reset="yes">
<cfoutput>#xmloutput#</cfoutput>
And this is my actor_details.xsl file
<xsl:param name="movieID"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<title>Actor details</title>
<xsl:apply-templates select="/movies/movie[@movieID=$movieID]/actors/actor[@actorID=$actorID]"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="actor">
<xsl:text>Name: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
<xsl:element name="br"/>
<xsl:text>Age: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="age"/>
<xsl:element name="br"/>
</xsl:template>
So based on the movieID and actorID passed through the URL, the actor_details page should display the actor's name and age. I am very new to ColdFusion and I can't figure out how to receive parameters passed through the URL with ColdFusion. I get unexpected error on the actor_details.cfm page.
I think the problem lies somewhere in actor_details.cfm page, but I just can't figure out what it is.
My XML file:
<movie movieID="1">
<actors>
<actor actorID="1">
<name>Bob</name>
<age>23</age>
</actor>
<actor actorID="2">
<name>Jack</name>
<age>25</age>
</actor>
<actor actorID="3">
<name>James</name>
<age>38</age>
</actor>
</actors>
</movie>
<movie movieID="2">
<actors>
<actor actorID="1">
<name>Mike</name>
<age>19</age>
</actor>
<actor actorID="2">
<name>Daniel</name>
<age>29</age>
</actor>
<actor actorID="3">
<name>Phil</name>
<age>41</age>
</actor>
</actors>
</movie>
