http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22218 Passing normalize-space on node value into the apply-templates Summary: Passing normalize-space on node value into the apply- templates Product: XalanC Version: 1.3.x Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: XalanC AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, I have an issue with Xalan 1.3, running on AIX system when I pass xml node with normalize-space call into apply-templates function. (I fork the process from my "C" application and executes testXSLT driver. >>testXSLT -in input.xml -xsl input.xsl ) The issue appears ONLY if my xml value has double (or more) space following each other. For example, "My Value" (with 2 spaces) will return the below error, but "My Value" (single space) will executes correctly. Error: XSLException Type is: XObjectInvalidConversionException Message is: Cannot convert a #STRING to a node set. (Unknown URI, line -1, column -1) XML example: .... <customer> <subscriber> <subcode>My Value</subcode> </subscriber> </customer> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ XSL Example: <xsl:template match="subscriber"> SUBCODE=<xsl:apply-templates select="normalize-space(subcode)"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="subcode"> <xsl:value-of select="translate(., 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ')"/> </xsl:template> In order to fix this issue, I called normalize-space inside my apply-templates and it seems fixed my problem. thank you, -dg ps: IMHO, when xslt parser calls normalize-space function, it stores result in the _local_ temp. variable which is passing into the second template.
