Hello, I'm trying to switch from an older Xalan-J version to the latest one (2.7.1). Basically, I'm running Xalan from a servlet (on Tomcat 6) and things seem to be working fine (no apparent errors) except that the select expression as used in <xsl:value-of select="path/to/my/element" /> returns empty values instead of the proper ones. And I'm quite sure that the xml tree contains proper values. For example, given the following (simplified) xml tree:
<root> <objects> <object> <title>Aaa</title> </object> <object> <title>Bbb</title> </object> </objects> </root> and the xsl stylesheet: <xsl:template match="root"> <xsl:value-of select="/root/objects/object[1]/title" /> </xsl:template> the expression in the value-of element is empty. Now, if I modify the stylesheet to: <xsl:template match="root"> <xsl:for-each select="objects/object"> <xsl:value-of select="title" /> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> then it works fine. So it appears that only absolute paths in the select expressions don't return node values. I'd appreciate any clues on how to get this to work. Here's my current environment settings (org.apache.xalan.xslt.EnvironmentCheck displayed from the servlet): #---- BEGIN writeEnvironmentReport($Revision$): Useful stuff found: ---- version.DOM.draftlevel=2.0fd java.class.path=C:\Tomcat\bin\bootstrap.jar version.JAXP=1.1 or higher java.ext.dirs=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11\lib\ext version.xerces2=Xerces-J 2.9.0 version.xerces1=not-present version.xalan2_2=Xalan Java 2.7.1 version.xalan1=not-present version.ant=not-present java.version=1.5.0_11 version.DOM=2.0 version.crimson=not-present sun.boot.class.path=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11\lib\rt.jar;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11\lib\i18n.jar;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11\lib\sunrsasign.jar;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11\lib\jsse.jar;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11\lib\jce.jar;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11\lib\charsets.jar;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11\classes version.SAX=2.0 version.xalan2x=Xalan Java 2.7.1 #----- END writeEnvironmentReport: Useful properties found: ----- # YAHOO!
