[ http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2004?page=comments#action_56153 ] Mukul Gandhi commented on XALANJ-2004: --------------------------------------
Here are some more observations.. Please consider this example.. XML file -------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <Parent> <!-- node elements --> <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> <!-- node1 elements --> <node1>1</node1> <node1>2</node1> <node1>3</node1> </Parent> XSL file -------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0"> <xsl:output method="text" /> <xsl:template match="/Parent"> <xsl:for-each select="node | node1"> <xsl:if test="position() != last()"> <xsl:text>,</xsl:text> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> This works fine! And produces output: ,,,,,,,,,,, But this XSL - -------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0"> <xsl:output method="text" /> <xsl:template match="/Parent"> <xsl:for-each select="node | node1[1]"> <!-- or, <xsl:for-each select="node[1] | node1"> --> <xsl:if test="position() != last()"> <xsl:text>,</xsl:text> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> does'nt work as expected.. and produces output: , It therefore seems to me, that the test, position() != last() is *not working correctly when context contains a union operator(|) and a predicate..* Regards, Mukul > 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)!
