Seems a Xalan bug
-----------------
Key: XALANJ-2004
URL: http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2004
Project: XalanJ2
Type: Bug
Components: Xalan
Versions: 2.6
Environment: Windows 2000 Prof, Xalan-J 2.6.0, JDK 1.4(the bundled Xalan
disabled)
Reporter: Mukul Gandhi
Hello,
I seem to have discovered a Xalan bug(Xalan-J 2.6.0)! I found it while solving
a problem posted at a public newsgroup..
The problem posted was -
Subject: Grouping by two or any number
--------------------------------------
I have the following xml
<Parent>
<node>a</node>
<node>s</node>
<node>d</node>
<node>f</node>
<node>g</node>
<node>h</node>
<node>j</node>
<node>k</node>
<node>l</node>
</Parent>
Need to print in following format (into groups of two; or could be any other
group-size)
group 1 - a,s
group 2 - d,f
group 3 - g,h
group 4 - j,k
group 5 - l
To solve this problem, I wrote the following stylesheet -
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text" />
<xsl:param name="group-size" select="3" />
<xsl:template match="/Parent">
<!-- calculate the no of "node" elements, which are left as a fraction;
which are to be displayed in the last group -->
<xsl:variable name="n" select="count(node) -
(floor((count(node) div $group-size)) * $group-size)"
/>
<xsl:for-each select="node">
<!-- determine group boundary; this if test stops at the last "node"
element of the group -->
<xsl:if test="(position() mod $group-size) = 0">
group <xsl:value-of select="floor(position()
div $group-size)" /><xsl:text> - </xsl:text>
<!-- display group members -->
<xsl:for-each select=". |
preceding-sibling::node[position() <= ($group-size
- 1)]">
<xsl:value-of select="." /><xsl:if
test="(position() mod $group-size) !=
0"><xsl:text>,</xsl:text></xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<!-- this if test processes the last group; whose number of group members
will be less than the group-size -->
<xsl:if test="((position() = last()) and
((position() mod $group-size) != 0))">
group <xsl:value-of select="floor(position()
div $group-size) + 1" /><xsl:text> - </xsl:text>
<xsl:for-each select=". |
preceding-sibling::node[position() < $n]">
<xsl:value-of select="." /><xsl:if
test="position() !=
last()"><xsl:text>,</xsl:text></xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I invoke Xalan like this:
java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in file.xml -xsl
file.xsl -PARAM group-size 2
The output is fine for -PARAM group-size values of
1,2,3 & 4. But for -PARAM group-size values of 5 and
above, the ouput is not coming as expected. For e.g.,
for -PARAM group-size 5, the output received is -
group 1 - a,s,d,f,g
group 2 - h,
I tested the same XSL with Saxon 8 and MSXSL 4,
and both produce correct result for all the cases(i.e. for any group-size).
Both Saxon and MSXSL produce the following output for
group-size=5 -
group 1 - a,s,d,f,g
group 2 - h,j,k,l
Could it be a Xalan bug?

Mukul
