How do I get the first familyjudgement from xml doc? 1

[momo2000]

I would like to output the first FamilyJudgement from my xml document. How do I do it?

Expected output

<FamilyJudgment judgmentKey="3928551">
	<JudgmentEventTypeText>Custody order</JudgmentEventTypeText>
</FamilyJudgment>

xml document

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CaseNotification>
	<CourtDecisionNotification>
		<TriggeredDateTime>2016-07-12T15:05:45-05:00</TriggeredDateTime>
		<NotificationEvent>CourtDecisionModified</NotificationEvent>
		<FamilyJudgment judgmentKey="3928551">
			<JudgmentEventTypeText>Custody order</JudgmentEventTypeText>
			<JudgmentEventDate>2016-07-12</JudgmentEventDate>
			<Custody>
				<CustodyDescriptionText>Legal custody</CustodyDescriptionText>
			</Custody>
		</FamilyJudgment>
		<FamilyJudgment judgmentKey="3928551">
			<JudgmentEventTypeText>Custody order</JudgmentEventTypeText>
			<JudgmentEventDate>2016-07-12</JudgmentEventDate>

I would make the following suggested change to make the template less dependent on the position of the desired <JudgementEventTypeText> element (and perhaps a bit less obscure - XPath being obscure enough already).

<xsl:template match="FamilyJudgment[position() = 1]">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:copy-of select="@* | JudgementEventTypeText"/>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Given that I also work with LegalXML (and Tyler's substitutions), I know there are many optional fields in the schema. I would never recommend using an absolute position instead of an element name when a particular element is desired.

Note that this differs from your business rule that you want the first FamilyJudgement element. In that situation, [tt][position() = 1][/tt] (or more simply [tt][1][/tt]) is appropriate.

Tom, that is a very sound advice (with a personal benefit of learn about LegalXML).
