Hi Chris, I am new to XSLT programming. Thanks for your reference. I did as like you said. But i get some exception like this java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException when i traverse loop the variable i stored the distinct values. So can you suggest me if i did anything wrong. But when i created the variable and not referred anywhere the variable it is not causing the problem. This exception is thrown when i am using the variable to loop through using xsl:for-each. Can you help me how to resolve this kind of issue.
