Hi Alain, The reason, why xsl:for-each select="$value" is working with XMLSpy, is because XMLSpy is using a XSLT 2.0 engine, which treats $value as a node-set.
Whereas, $value if a RTF (result tree fragment) in XSLT 1.0. An expression, select="$value" will give an error, as you just found, with XSLT 1.0. To make this work with Xalan-J, you need to use the xx:node-set extension function. Please refer, http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensionslib.html#exslt for more information in this regard. So you would need to do something, like: xx:node-set($value) or perhaps, xx:node-set($value)/* xx:node-set($value) behaves similar to, a 2.0 $value On Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 9:29 PM, Alain Gilbert <agilb...@taleo.com> wrote: > When I rewrite the addInlineText template as: > > <xsl:template name="addInlineText"> > <xsl:param name="value" /> > <fo:block> > <xsl:for-each select="$value" > > <xsl:copy/> > <xsl:apply-templates/> > </xsl:for-each> > </fo:block> > </xsl:template> > > I do get the desired behavior with the Altova XSLT engine, built in the > XMLSpy product. > > However, when trying the same with Xalan, I get this error: > SystemID: print.xsl; Line#: 20; Column#: 33 > org.apache.xpath.XPathException: Can not convert #RTREEFRAG to a NodeList! > at org.apache.xpath.objects.XObject.error(XObject.java:703) > at org.apache.xpath.objects.XObject.iter(XObject.java:406) > at org.apache.xpath.Expression.asIterator(Expression.java:250) > at > org.apache.xalan.templates.ElemForEach.transformSelectedNodes(ElemForEach.java:333) > > Any help greatly appreciated, > Alain Gilbert -- Regards, Mukul Gandhi
