[xsl] Converting attributes to elements and preserving the hierarchy

["Samuel Abraham" <samuel dot abraham at db dot com>]

Hi all,
I am trying to transform an xml document into a resultant xml where
the attributes of the source are converted to elements and one of the attributes as
the value of the node.(Using Xalan ).
eg for source XML
:
      <nfield fldname="DETAILS" >
      <nfield fldname="Creation_Date"  reserve2="20122001"/>
      <nfield fldname="REPEATER_OUTER">
        <nfield fldname="Address1"reserve2="SHENTON WAY"/>
          <nfield fldname="REPEATER" length="0" fldtype="F">
               <nfield fldname="Rate" reserve2="25"/>
     </nfield>
        </nfield>
      </nfield>
I am able to do the transformation but the result doent have the child parent realtionship.

I used the template
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:element name="{/template/header/tmplname}">
      <xsl:for-each select="/template/format//nfield">
           <xsl:element name="{@fldname}">
             <xsl:value-of select="@reserve2"/>
           </xsl:element>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>

The result was something like this
<DETAILS/>
<Creation_Date>20122001</Creation_Date>
<REPEATER_OUTER/>
 <Address1>SHENTON WAY</Address1>
<REPEATER/>
<RATE>25</RATE>

Actually I need to get
  <DETAILS>
     <Creation_Date>20122001</Creation_Date>
     <REPEATER_OUTER>
          <Address1>SHENTON WAY</Address1>
          <REPEATER>
               <RATE>25</RATE>
          </REPEATER>
     </REPEATER_OUTER>
 </DETAILS>

Where am I going wrong?Can someone please point out the problem.....
thanks
 Samuel Abraham
