Is it possible to detect the presence of a (xml) tag using XSLT?

I am suppose to test the presence of a tag and create a new node according to the result ..

This is the input XML :

<root> 
  <tag1>NS</tag1> 
  <tag2 id="8">NS</tag2> 
  <test> 
    <other_tag>text</other_tag> 
    <ma开发者_运维问答in>Y</main> 
  </test> 
  <test> 
    <other_tag>text</other_tag> 
  </test> 
</root> 

And the required output XML is :

<root> 
  <tag1>NS</tag1> 
  <tag2 id="8">NS</tag2> 
  <test> 
    <other_tag>text</other_tag> 
    <Main_Tag>Present</Main_Tag> 
  </test> 
  <test> 
    <other_tag>text</other_tag> 
    <Main_Tag>Absent</Main_Tag>
  </test> 
</root> 

I know to test the value of the tag, but this is something new to me.

I tried using this Template : (which is not working as per the requirement)

   <xsl:template match="test"> 
      <xsl:element name="test"> 
        <xsl:for-each select="/root/test/*"> 
      <xsl:choose> 
        <xsl:when test="name()='bbb'"> 
          <xsl:element name="Main_Tag"> 
            <xsl:text>Present</xsl:text> 
          </xsl:element> 
        </xsl:when> 
        <xsl:otherwise> 
          <xsl:element name="Main_Tag"> 
          <xsl:text>Absent</xsl:text> 
          </xsl:element> 
        </xsl:otherwise> 
      </xsl:choose> 
        </xsl:for-each> 
      </xsl:element> 
  </xsl:template>

What about just this:

<xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="main = 'Y'">
        <Main_Tag>Present</Main_Tag> 
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
        <Main_Tag>Absent</Main_Tag>
    </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

Or

<Main_Tag>
    <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="main = 'Y'">Present</xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>Absent</xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
</Main_Tag>

I'm not suggesting this is superior - for this problem, I'd probably do it exactly the way Rubens Farias describes - but it shows another approach to the problem which might be useful in more complex situations. I find that the more logic I push into template-matching, the more flexible and extensible my transforms turn out to be in the long run. So, add these to the identity transform:

<xsl:template match="test/main">
   <Main_Tag>present</Main_Tag>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="test[not(main)]">
   <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
      <Main_Tag>absent</Main_Tag>
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:copy>

You can use the Xpath count function to see if the main node exists (count(name) = 0) and output accordingly.

Expanding on Rubens Farias' second answer...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
    <!--Identity transform-->
    <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>   

    <!--Add <Main_Tag>Present</Main_Tag> or <Main_Tag>Absent</Main_Tag>.-->
    <xsl:template match="test">
        <xsl:copy>
           <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
           <Main_Tag>
                <xsl:choose>
                    <xsl:when test="main = 'Y'">Present</xsl:when>
                    <xsl:otherwise>Absent</xsl:otherwise>
                </xsl:choose>
            </Main_Tag>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

     <!--Remove all <main> tags-->
    <xsl:template match="main"/>       
</xsl:stylesheet>
