<data> Element

In the XML rendering of the custom syntax within an apply-macro statement, parameters and their values are contained in <name> and <value> elements, respectively. The <name> and <value> elements are sibling children of the <data> element. For example, the apply-macro blue-type-lsp statement contains six parameters, as follows:



[edit protocols mpls]
user@host# show
apply-macro blue-type-lsp {
    10.1.1.1;
    10.2.2.2;
    10.3.3.3;
    10.4.4.4;
    color blue;
    group-value 0;
}

The parameters and values are rendered in JUNOS XML tag elements as follows:



[edit protocols mpls]
user@host# show | display xml 

<rpc-reply xmlns:junos="http://xml.juniper.net/junos/7.4R1/junos">
    <configuration>
        <protocols>
            <mpls>
                <apply-macro>
                    <name>blue-type-lsp</name>
                    <data>
                        <name>10.1.1.1</name>
                    </data>
                    <data>
                        <name>10.2.2.2</name>
                    </data>
                    <data>
                        <name>10.3.3.3</name>
                    </data>
                    <data>
                        <name>10.4.4.4</name>
                    </data>
                    <data>
                        <name>color</name>
                        <value>blue</value>
                    </data>
                    <data>
                        <name>group-value</name>
                        <value>0</value>
                    </data>
                </apply-macro>
            </mpls>
        </protocols>
    </configuration>
</rpc-reply>

When you write commit script macros, referring to the <data>, <name>, and <value> elements allows you to extract and manipulate the parameters contained in apply-macro statements. For example, in the following select attribute, the XPath expression extracts the text contained in the <value> element that is a child of a <data> element that also contains a <name> child element with the text color. The variable declaration assigns the text of the <value> element to a variable named $color.



<xsl:variable name="color" select="data[name = 'color']/value"/>
