http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10717 Message about additional sort data types could be better Summary: Message about additional sort data types could be better Product: XalanJ2 Version: 2.4Dx Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Xalan AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] xsl:sort allows the data-type attribute to be either "text", "number", or a QName qualified to some other namespace. If the latter were to be implemented in Xalan, we would have to recognize the qualified name. Since we don't have any additional types, sorterr08 covers the case where the value looks like a QName (i.e., contains a colon) but is just a garbage string to us. Currently, we put out a message that says this is a to-do item. While the message does lead the user to the vicinity of the problem, it's not a real error message. It should be a real error saying No known sort routine for [QName] or something similar. If we ever implement a recognized QName, this error will still apply for the unrecognized ones. See sorterr01 for the case of an unrecognized name without a colon. We emit a good message in this case.
