http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4995 Xalan doesn't work with non-document DOM source ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2001-11-21 09:57 ------- Hi, out of the XPath spec: ********* The root node is the root of the tree. A root node does not occur except as the root of the tree. The element node for the document element is a child of the root node. ********** There is no explicit mapping defined between XPath and DOM! Out of the JAXP DOMSource docs: ********** Acts as a holder for a transformation Source tree in the form of a Document Object Model (DOM) tree. *********** The DOMSource may(should) be mapped to a complete XPath tree. Otherwise the XPath expressions for the DOMSource would not be self-contained which would cause a lot of problems. So I think it is a bug. Regards Thomas
