Can anyone explain why calling
<xsl:apply-templates select="document(@filename)">
as opposed to
<xsl:apply-templates select="document(@filename)/*">
Should cause parameter values (even unrelated literal ones) not to get passed?
If I have
<xsl:apply-templates select="document(@filename)">
<xsl:with-param name="xpath" select="@xpathRef"/>
<xsl:with-param name="p2" select="45"/>
<xsl:with-param name="p3" select="'wtf'"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
and
<xsl:template match="chapter">
<xsl:param name="xpath" />
<xsl:param name="p2" />
<xsl:param name="p3" />
<xsl:variable name="xyz" select="'section'"></xsl:variable>
<MESSAGE>XPATH = !<xsl:value-of select="$xpath"/>!</MESSAGE>
<MESSAGE>X2 = !<xsl:value-of select="$p2"/>!</MESSAGE>
<MESSAGE>X3 = !<xsl:value-of select="$p3"/>!</MESSAGE>
<MESSAGE>XYZ = !<xsl:value-of select="$xyz"/>!</MESSAGE>
</xsl:template>
I get, in my output document
<MESSAGE xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan";
xmlns:dyn="http://exslt.org/dynamic";>XPATH = !!</MESSAGE>
<MESSAGE xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan";
xmlns:dyn="http://exslt.org/dynamic";>X2 = !!</MESSAGE>
<MESSAGE xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan";
xmlns:dyn="http://exslt.org/dynamic";>X3 = !!</MESSAGE>
<MESSAGE xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan";
xmlns:dyn="http://exslt.org/dynamic";>XYZ = !section!</MESSAGE>
However the minute I add /* after the document function,
as in
<xsl:apply-templates select="document(@filename)">
<xsl:with-param name="xpath" select="@xpathRef"/>
<xsl:with-param name="p2" select="45"/>
<xsl:with-param name="p3" select="'wtf'"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
I get, as expected
<MESSAGE xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan";
xmlns:dyn="http://exslt.org/dynamic";>XPATH = !/chapter!</MESSAGE>
<MESSAGE xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan";
xmlns:dyn="http://exslt.org/dynamic";>X2 = !45!</MESSAGE>
<MESSAGE xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan";
xmlns:dyn="http://exslt.org/dynamic";>X3 = !wtf!</MESSAGE>
<MESSAGE xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan";
xmlns:dyn="http://exslt.org/dynamic";>XYZ = !section!</MESSAGE>
The root of the document being passed to the document function is "chapter",
and I've tried this with modes, so I know for sure there is no way the second
template could be getting called from elsewhere. This is Xalan 2.7.0 and jdk
1.5.0.
I am baffled at how this can make sense and would love for someone to either
enlighten me or confirm that this is a bug.
Thanks,
Eric
