Hi,
I have seen that support for the XPath 3.1 random-number-generator
function has landed in the Xalan XSLT 3.0 development branch.
I am wondering whether the XPath 3.1 lookup operator "?" should work
with a map returned by a call to random-number-generator.
For me, for instance,
<xsl:value-of
select="random-number-generator(current-dateTime())?number"/>
fails with FOTY0013 : Cannot do an XPath atomization of a map with
Xalan, while that code works fine with Saxon.
Another test that fails with Xalan but works with Saxon:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="3.0"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:map="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/map";
xmlns:array="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/array";

expand-text="yes">
<xsl:template match="/*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:iterate select="1 to 5">
<xsl:param name="rng"
select="random-number-generator(current-dateTime())"/>
<xsl:sequence select="$rng('number')"/>
<xsl:next-iteration>
<xsl:with-param name="rng" select="$rng('next')()"/>
</xsl:next-iteration>
</xsl:iterate>
<xsl:comment>Run with {system-property('xsl:vendor')} at
{current-dateTime()}</xsl:comment>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
With Xalan I get fatalError: XPTY0004 : Number of arguments required for
XPath dynamic function call is 0. Arguments provided : 1.
