Re: Unable to generate JSP output with Xalan -- CORRECTION

[Joseph Kesselman]

Note that your example *was* wrong as you showed it to us -- you had double quotes inside an attribute also quoted with doublequotes, and you'd forgotten to close the attribute quoting. That's what caused me to immediately jump to the wrong answer; I saw the nesting problem and didn't read further.

Note too that this may mean you have to change my suggested response. I don't remember whether Xalan is smart enough to try to pick a quote that doesn't conflict with the text content, or if it just always uses quotes and converts contained quotes to ". If the latter... I don't know whether your JSP processor would accept that form. If it doesn't, you may have to switch from quotes to apostrphies yourself:

   <xsl:attribute name="value">
      <xsl:text>&lt;getLocalizedResource name='resName':gt;</xsl:text>
    </xsl:attribute>
