"//" Compatiblity across Xalan 2.3 and 2.7

[Hariprasath Manivannan]

Hi,

 

I have been using Xalan2.3 and my XSL contains the following line

<xsl:variable name="myVar" select="java:com.mycompany.myclass.mymethod(/)"/>

 

I want to pass the entire XML Dom as a parameter to my java method as a NodeList

 

When I use the same XSL with Xalan2.7 I am getting the following error:

 

; Line#: 60; Column#: 98
; Line#: 60; Column#: 98
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: A location step was expected following the '/' or '//' token.

at org.apache.xpath.compiler.XPathParser.RelativeLocationPath(XPathParser.java:1624)
at org.apache.xpath.compiler.XPathParser.LocationPath (XPathParser.java:1595)
 

 

What should be used to pass the root node to a java method with xalan 2.7?

Thanks and Regards,

Hari
