I am using xalan 2.7.0 on a windows box. I tried to use the standard
date-time library and ran into some problems with a "variable accessed
before it is bound" error. I was able to reproduce the problem in the
following piece of code:
<xsl:template name="format-date">
<xsl:param name="date-time"/>
<xsl:param name="format"/>
<xsl:call-template name="dt:format-date-time">
<xsl:with-param name="year">
<xsl:call-template name='dt:get-xsd-datetime-year'>
<xsl:with-param name='xsd-date-time' select='$date-time'/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name='month'>
<xsl:call-template name='dt:get-xsd-datetime-month'>
<xsl:with-param name='xsd-date-time' select='$date-time'/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name='day'>
<xsl:call-template name='dt:get-xsd-datetime-day'>
<xsl:with-param name='xsd-date-time' select='$date-time'/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name='hour'>
<xsl:call-template name='dt:get-xsd-datetime-hour'>
<xsl:with-param name='xsd-date-time' select='$date-time'/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name='minute'>
<xsl:call-template name='dt:get-xsd-datetime-minute'>
<xsl:with-param name='xsd-date-time' select='$date-time'/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="format" select="$format"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:message><xsl:value-of select="$date-time"/></xsl:message>
</xsl:template>
with the call
<xsl:call-template name="format-date"><xsl:with-param name="date-time"
select="'2005-08-19T15:30'"/><xsl:with-param name="format" select="'%a
%b %e %i:%M'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
Strangely, it gets the error on the second reference to the date-time
parameter ($date-time) in the body of the template above.
A call to the dt:format-date-time template in the date-time.xsl library
with the parameter xsd-date-time set to an appropriate value causes a
recursive call of the form I've written in my template above. xalan
blows up on the same line with the same error in that code.
Is there a bug here or am I being stupid?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
