Can somebody help me with the following problem, here is inputxml, xslt i'm using and expected output . actually i know it is because of unique generateid not getting generated this xslt failing to generate desired output but i don't know where that code should be inserted.

InputXML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

EXPECTED OUTPUT:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<catalog> 
  <cd> 
    <title>Empire Burlesque</title> 
    <artist>Bob Dylan</artist> 
    <country>USA</country> 
    <company>Columbia</company> 
    <price>10.90</price> 
    <year>1985</year> 
  </cd> 
  <cd> 
    <title>Hide your heart</title> 
    <artist>Bonnie Tyler</artist> 
    <country>UK</country> 
    <company>CBS Records</company> 
    <price>9.90</price> 
    <year>1988</year> 
  </cd> 
</catalog>

Firstly, this XML is not well-formed. Use any root element. Suppose u added <doc>at the beginning and </doc> at last then..... use .

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0">
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:for-each select=".//*[@text='catalog']">
            <xsl:element name="{@text}">
                <xsl:for-each select="./*">
                    <xsl:element name="{@text}">
                        <xsl:for-each select="./*">
                            <xsl:element name="{@text}"><xsl:value-of select="./*/@text"/></xsl:element>
                        </xsl:for-each>
                    </xsl:element>
                </xsl:for-each>
            </xsl:element>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:template>   

</xsl:stylesheet>

u'll surely get the expected o/p.
