Hello Anna,Hi Luca. Thank you for answering. Yes, probably that's something with my configuration. I am using Win98, Tomcat 4.1.12, Cocoon 2.0.4, Xalan 2.4.1. I'll try to change the Xalan version. Anyway, this thing is very weird.Thank you. Anna
may I point out again, that in my opinion it is a simple namespace problem. Ok, it's only a guess, but I never heart of a bug like you describe. And exactly this behaviour is comprehensible with the following test case:
XML: elements are in default namespace
<root xmlns="test">
<p>a node to match</p>
</root>
XSL:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns:test="test">
<xsl:template match="/">
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>1. test using "//p":</td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="count(//p)"/> matched</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2. test using "//test:p":</td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="count(//test:p)"/> matched</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3. test using "//*[name() = 'p']":</td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="count(//*[name() = 'p'])"/> matched</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>4. test using "//*[name() = 'test:p']":</td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="count(//*[name() = 'test:p'])"/> matched</td>
</tr>
</table>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Result:
1. test using "//p": 0 matched
2. test using "//test:p": 1 matched
3. test using "//*[name() = 'p']": 1 matched
4. test using "//*[name() = 'test:p']": 0 matched
Your cases are number 1 and 3 and you can see the same behaviour. Have a look into your XML file, whether a default namespace is set there. The reason for the differences when using default namespace is, that you must bind it in XSLT on a prefix. You can not match on elements via //p, if they are in default namespace.
