This seems a wierd way to define and use keys.. I would use keys as follows (I have adapted the example you gave) ..
XML file - <test> <date>2004-01-01</date> <date>2005-01-02</date> <date>2005-01-03</date> <date>2004-01-04</date> </test> XSLT file - <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> <xsl:output method = "text" /> <xsl:key name="key_test" match ="date" use = "substring(., 1, 4)" /> <xsl:template match="/test"> <xsl:for-each select="key('key_test', '2004')"> <xsl:value-of select="." /><xsl:text>
</xsl:text> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> I get correct output - 2004-01-01 2004-01-04 I tested with Xalan-J 2.6.0 bundled with JDK 1.5.0_02 .. But I do feel for the example you gave, that "error message can be improved" .. I do not think it can be called a bug!
