XObject call to str then num fails / different results on multiple calls
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: XALANJ-2475
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2475
Project: XalanJ2
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: No security risk; visible to anyone (Ordinary problems in
Xalan projects. Anybody can view the issue.)
Components: XPath-API
Affects Versions: 2.7
Environment: Any platform
Reporter: edA-qa mort-ora-y
An XObject as obtained via XPath.execute returns different results for each
call to str, num, nodeset, or bool. This quite similar to XALANJ-1335 but I
wish to emphasize calling a different function, and that the result is
different.
In this case the result cannot be cached and used later as we wish to use a
different result.
For example:
System.out.println( object.str() );
int number = object.num() + 5;
The second line does not work so long as the first line exists. You cannot
extract multiple types from the result.
There is nothing to suggest that these functions should have side-effects, nor
is it understood why they would.
This type of behaviour is vital in our TestPlan web testing suite which uses
dynamic typing. We have no workaround.
