Hi, Robert
I can reproduce the same incorrect behavior. It only happens with Xalan
interpretive. XSLTC is OK. Can you open a bug in the JIRA database
(http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa)?

last() inside for-each causes
strange behavior
Greetings, I've been scratching my head on this one for a while and after
searching through JIRA, found a couple bugs related to this but
it appears they should have been fixed in version 2.6.0. but I'm
still seeing some strange behavior.
What I want is to render 2 columns of data where each
column contains rows with x number of values. For this example 4 values.
If the row contains less than 4 values, then render an empty place holder
cell.
Here is what I get when I view the xml file transformed using a web
browser:
AAA BBB CCC DDD AAA BBB CCC DDD
AAA BBB CCC DDD AAA BBB CCC DDD
AAA BBB CCC DDD AAA BBB CCC DDD
AAA BBB CCC AAA BBB CCC
This is the expected behavior.
Here is what I get when I view the xml file transformed with Xalan 2.6.0:
AAA AAA BBB CCC DDD
AAA AAA BBB CCC DDD
AAA AAA BBB CCC
AAA AAA BBB CCC
Only the first value in each row of the first column is rendered.
The second column row values have "shifted" to the left.
Here is what I get when I view the xml file transformed with Xalan 2.6.0
without the offending XSL last().
AAA BBB CCC DDD AAA BBB CCC DDD
AAA BBB CCC DDD AAA BBB CCC DDD
AAA BBB CCC DDD AAA BBB CCC DDD
AAA BBB CCC AAA BBB CCC
This is expected behavior because the code which renders the
place holder cells (which uses the last())is commented out.
Here is the xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<data>
<item>AAA</item>
<item>BBB</item>
<item>CCC</item>
<item>DDD</item>
<item>AAA</item>
<item>BBB</item>
<item>CCC</item>
<item>DDD</item>
<item>AAA</item>
<item>BBB</item>
<item>CCC</item>
</data>
Here is the xsl:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>Output</title>
</head>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>  </td>
<td>  </td>
<td>  </td>
<td>  </td>
<td rowspan="10">  </td>
<td>  </td>
<td>  </td>
<td>  </td>
<td>  </td>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="data">
<xsl:for-each select="item[position() mod 4 = 1]">
<tr>
<!-- Render values -->
<xsl:for-each select=".|following-sibling::item[position() < 4]">
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</td>
<!-- render any buffer cells --> <!-- This is the problem code -->
<xsl:if test="(last() < 4) and (last() = position())">
<xsl:call-template name="loop">
<xsl:with-param name="repeat" select="number(4-last())"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<!-- Render values -->
<xsl:for-each select=".|following-sibling::item[position() < 4]">
<td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
<!-- Recursive for-loop -->
<xsl:template name="loop">
<xsl:param name="repeat">0</xsl:param>
<xsl:if test="number($repeat) >= 1">
<td>  </td>
<xsl:call-template name="loop">
<xsl:with-param name="repeat" select="$repeat - 1"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I have made sure that the program is using the correct Xalan version by
placing the xalan.jar, xercesImpl.jar, and xml-apis.jar in the
JAVA_HOME/lib/endorsed.
I have also included calls to EnvironmentCheck which displays the version
of Xalan which is 2.6.0.
It would be interesting if others who run this code get the same behavior.
I'm assuming this is not the expected behavior as my browser renders the
data as expected and Xalan does not.
Any help would be appreciated.
