using a function inside a select 2006-01-18 - By David Portabella Clotet
Hello,
If I run the compact simple example provided at the end, I get this result.
<test>
<a>Hello</a>
<b/>
<c>World</c>
</test>
For 'a' and 'c' it works as expected, but I do not understand the
behaviour of 'b'.
For the 'a' case, the select computes the validity of t1/t2[1] and as
it is not satisfied, it looks for the next one, t1/t2[2].
Instead, for the 'b' case, the select only computes the validity of
t1/t2[1], and although it is not satisfied, it does not continue with
the next one.
Why this?
because of using a function (normalize-space)?
Is this a bug (I am using org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process)
or a property of the XSLT language?
If it is a property, how to achieve my expected behaviour?
-----
I need to use the normalize-space function so that the stylesheet
works in cases like this:
<test>
<t1>
<t2>Hello</t2>
<t2>
World</t2>
</t1>
</test>
-----
=========
xml file:
<test>
<t1>
<t2>Hello</t2>
<t2>World</t2>
</t1>
</test>
stylesheet:
<xsl:template match="/test">
<test>
<a><xsl:value-of select="t1[t2='World']/t2"/></a>
<b><xsl:value-of select="t1[normalize-space(t2)='World']/t2"/></b>
<c><xsl:value-of select="t1/t2[.='World']"/></c>
</test>
</xsl:template>
