[oXygen-user] Failure to identify missing xsl:choose element

Wed Apr 18 04:33:49 CDT 2012

Hi George,

The behaviour you explain makes sense.
I was using Xalan with xsl v.2.0 so this explains it.

Thanks for taking the time to have a look.

Best

Lewis

Dear Lewis,

It depends on what the XSLT processor says... but there should not be a
difference between the debugger and a normal transformation if you use
the same XSLT engine.

I was able to run a transformation containing this situation only with
Xalan and also when the version attribute is set to 2.0, which Xalan
does not support - and that is why probably its behavior is not the
expected one, that is to report an error. With Saxon (any version) I
obtain the expected error no matter what version I set on the XSLT
stylesheet.

If you see a different behavior please provide a simple XSLT stylesheet
and a description to allow us to reproduce that.

Best Regards,
George
