Re: Output from node traversal not processing correctly

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 09:14:05 -0800 

Tim,
What's happening is you're triggering the default templates that are provided by the XSLT processor that match element and text nodes when you call <xsl:apply-templates/>. There are built in rules provided by the XSLT processor that match the different node types. The default rule for element nodes is to simply call <xsl:apply-templates/> again on its children nodes. The default rule for a text node is to print out the text to the output. 


So when you call <xsl:apply-templates/> in your XSL, it's actually 
matching all the nodes, not just the <To> element, and it's firing the 
default template for everything but the <To> element, which fires the 
more specific template that matches the <To> element. This has the 
effect of printing out out all the text of each of the elements.



And actually it looks like it might not be matching the <To> element 
either, because it has a namespace in the source XML document that 
you're not specifying in your XSL. Your namespaces need to match between 
your XSL and your input XML document, otherwise the processor will not 
match it.

Hi - I'm requesting some basic assistance with an XSL processing 
problem. I would think this is a simple issue to resolve, but I 
haven't had much luck.

Any asistance would be greatly appreciated.

 
*_Issue_*: Node contents not being output as expected.
 
*_Execution Context_*: 
    - eclipse 3.5.1, running a 2.x EJB on a local Weblogic 10.3 
server, using Java JRE jdk16.0_17
        - using eclipse Java EE Developer Tools, Oracle Weblogic 
Server Tools, Oracle Common Tools
        - CLASSPATH overridden to force xalan.jar, xml-apis.jar, 
serializer.jar, and xercesImpl.jar before weblogic.jar
            - to allow instantiation of a proper TransformerFactory 
(not Weblogic's version) and use of the "debugger Interface" 
(http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/usagepatterns.html#debugging)

    - Xalan-j_2_7_1
    - Input is a */DOMSource/*, wrapping an org.w3c.dom.Document.

        - Relevant code: aTransformer.transform(aDOMSource, *new* 
StreamResult(aFileOutputStream)); "aTransformer" is instanceof 
TransformerImpl
 
*_Personal Context_*:
    - New to XSL, Xalan. Have taken care to try all options I can 
think of before soliciting for assistance here. Don't fully understand 
Debugger outputs (below).
 
*_Anticipated Result_*:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

*_Actual Result_*:

    - Nodes seem to be traversed properly.
