XSL structure mainly depends on the output structure , not on the input xml structure.
Input xml is only the place from which the xml pulls data.

Hi Rahul,

Yes, you are correct.

It should the output xml document and not input xml document.

do you know any tools which can help me?

I am not aware of such a tool.I think its hand coded as because you have to know both the input and output data model.
Lets wait and see what experts on this forum has to say about this.

I have seen tools to make XSD out of xml's and with some minor changes you have the XSD ready.

Rahul, you are one of the experts in this forum.

I have heard of tools where you provide the input and output (as XML or XSD) and then you can interactively specify what you want mapped to what. The result is an XSL that does that mapping. But I have no personal experience with those tools, and in any case you can't expect any tool to produce the XSL without human assistance.

Hi Rahul,

I found the following online tool for XML to XSL generation.

XML to XSL

I havn't tried it extensively but it seems to do the job.
