Apply-templates with-param problem / question
Hi all,
I observed a problem that seems to be a little strange. I defined a variable "date" with the following content:
<Cluster Name="Time stamp" NumElts="10">
<DBL Name="fractional second">0.13610</DBL>
<I32 Name="second">4</I32>
<I32 Name="minute">21</I32>
<I32 Name="hour">11</I32>
<I32 Name="day of month">4</I32>
<I32 Name="month">4</I32>
<I32 Name="year">2007</I32>
<I32 Name="day of week">4</I32>
<I32 Name="day of year">94</I32>
<I32 Name="DST">1</I32>
</Cluster>
The variable therefore contains a node set. Then I applied a template the following way:
<xsl:apply-template match=".">
<xsl:with-param name="my-date" select="$date"/>
</xsl:apply-template>
The template should replace an element <date/> with the actual date. The template looks the following:
<xsl:template match="date">
<xsl:param name="my-date"/>
.....
.....
</xsl:template>
Now the problem: Saxon 6.5, Xalan, Firefox, Opera will return an error, because the content of the variable my-date is a string and not a node set. Safari (xslt.lib) and Saxon 9 process this code as expected.
Which behavior is correct? Does anybody know a workaround?
Thanks for your help

How did you defined the variable?
In the stylesheet, like the following, or it was given as a parameter to the XSLT processor?
I have tried this and worked correctly:
Can you give a complete sample? XSL, XML input, parameters?
Cheers,
Dan

Saxon 9 is a XSLT 2.0 processor is it not?
As such it would probably ignore these errors.
The behaviour that is correct is throwing the error.
If you're looking for compatibility, why not use the exsl:node-set extension?
Another work-around. Encase in wrapper and use document function to retrieve.
The select attribute xpath ensures that these are treated as actual nodes.

Hi all
I have prepared an example. It should demonstrate my problem and it should be simple enough to understand quickly. First of all, the xml file:
The corresponding stylesheet is as follows:
I hope this helps to clarify the problem.
Best regards

Changing the stylesheet version to "1.1" and changing the apply-templates select value from "." to "./*" seems to fix the problem when using Saxon 6, Xalan, Firefox (I have not tested IE and Opera):
More reading about the node-sets here:http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/07/16/nodeset.html
Code: Select all
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.1">
........
<xsl:apply-templates select="./*">

Another alternative to wieldly nested choose clauses is this little trick:
<my:mapping xmlns:my="internal">
<month short="1" abr="Jan" long="Januar" />
<month short="2" abr="Feb" long="Februar" />
<month short="3" abr="Mar" long="März" />
<month short="4" abr="Apr" long="April" />
<month short="5" abr="Mai" long="Mai" />
<month short="6" abr="Jun" long="Juni" />
<month short="7" abr="Jul" long="Juli" />
<month short="8" abr="Aug" long="August" />
<month short="9" abr="Sep" long="September" />
<month short="10" abr="Okt" long="Oktober" />
<month short="11" abr="Nov" long="November" />
<month short="12" abr="Dez" long="Dezember" />
</my:mapping>
<xsl:variable name="monthNum" select="$my-date/I32[@Name='month']"/>
Then in your abbreviated choose clause could have something like
<xsl:value-of select="document('')//month[@short=$monthNum]/@abr"/>
long choose clause:
<xsl:value-of select="document('')//month[@short=$monthNum]/@long"/>
This may be of use to you.
<my:mapping xmlns:my="internal">
<month short="1" abr="Jan" long="Januar" />
<month short="2" abr="Feb" long="Februar" />
<month short="3" abr="Mar" long="März" />
<month short="4" abr="Apr" long="April" />
<month short="5" abr="Mai" long="Mai" />
<month short="6" abr="Jun" long="Juni" />
<month short="7" abr="Jul" long="Juli" />
<month short="8" abr="Aug" long="August" />
<month short="9" abr="Sep" long="September" />
<month short="10" abr="Okt" long="Oktober" />
<month short="11" abr="Nov" long="November" />
<month short="12" abr="Dez" long="Dezember" />
</my:mapping>
<xsl:variable name="monthNum" select="$my-date/I32[@Name='month']"/>
Then in your abbreviated choose clause could have something like
<xsl:value-of select="document('')//month[@short=$monthNum]/@abr"/>
long choose clause:
<xsl:value-of select="document('')//month[@short=$monthNum]/@long"/>
This may be of use to you.
