That kind of errors are never nice....
If the problem is that set:distinct is returning a resulttree-fragment then
it might help wrapping the variable in common:node-set() before using
it e.g.;
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0"
xmlns:common="http://exslt.org/common";
... >
...
<xsl:for-each select="common:node-set($var-returned-by-distinct-function)">
....
<xsl:for-each>

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.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi Npselval,
Is it impossible for you to use the exslt.org extensions (they are part
of xalan you should just declare the namespace).
They contain an implementation of the distinct function. Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0"
xmlns:set="http://exslt.org/sets";>
<xsl:variable name="uniquevalues"
select="set:distinct(/validation/report/script/case/@name)"
/>

Hi Experts,
I have to get the list of the distinct attribute values across
different node level. To help you understand my requirement, i am
herewith
listed with a sample XML file
My XML file looks like this
<validation>
<report>
<script city="NY">
<case name="ramesh" status="BE"/>
<case name="rajesh" status="B.Com" />
</script>
<script city="AL">
<case name="ramesh" status="Law" />
</script>
</report>
</validation>
Now i have to get only the values as ramesh and rajesh and i should not
get
ramesh two times. As i use only XPATH 1.0 and XSLT 1.0 i cannot use
distinct-values function. I earlier tried using to fetch distinct values
to
a variable using the below script in xslt and it is not working.
<xsl:variable name="uniquevalues"
select="/validation/report/script/case[not(@name=predicate-sibling::validation/report/script/case/@name)]/@name"
/>
The above code snippet is not working. Kindly let me know what has to be
done to get my expected output.
thanks in advance,
npselvan
