hi, The subject line is a little misleading. If there is an undeclared variable or param then the transform should error out. This is a bug. With the extremely clear example from an earlier post, while passing in a parameter named 'value', Saxon 6x, Saxon9x, and Xalan error out with (a similar message):
SystemID: /home/me/tmp/test.xsl Description: Failed to compile stylesheet. 1 error detected. SystemID: /home/me/tmp/test.xsl Location: 4:0 Description: Variable value has not been declared ------------- When I run it with xsltproc. The transform succeeds AND fills in the variable/param value! Definitely unexpected! (from an earlier post in this thread): >>>>> This can be reproduced with xsltproc, BTW, using this XML file: ------------------- <test/> ------------------- and this XSLT file: ------------------- <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";; version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> <a><xsl:value-of select="$value"/></a> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> ------------------- with this command: # xsltproc --param value "ival" test.xslt test.xml The output is: ------------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <a/> ------------------- It would really be helpful to get some kind of an error here, instead of silently returning an unexpected result. <<<<< _______________________________________________ xslt mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xslt
