Hi David, || -----Original Message----- || From: v v [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] || Sent: zondag 9 februari 2003 16:49 || To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] || Subject: Empty attribute in xu:attribute (XUpdate) doesn't || work like i expected || || || If you try following query: || || <xu:modifications version="1.0" || xmlns:xu="http://www.xmldb.org/xupdate";> || <xu:append select="/element"> || <xu:element name="style"> || <xu:attribute name="attr1"/> || <xu:attribute name="attr2"/> || <xu:attribute name="attr3">0</xu:attribute> || <xu:attribute name="attr4"></xu:attribute> || </xu:element> || </xu:append> || </xu:modifications> || || Xindice gives a lot of the following messages: || * java.lang.Exception: no nodes selected ! || * java.util.NoSuchElementException
I tested it myself and also got a java.util.NoSuchElementException, this is a bug because xupdate should be able to append empty attributes. In any case it shouldn't give a crytic exception like java.util.NoSuchElementException. || If I ommit attributes 1, 2 and 4 in my query, it works || fine. Is this a restriction/bug of Xindice or just the || definition of XUpdate? Temporary I work around this problem || by setting the value to any arbitrary value and updating it to "". The working draft (http://www.xmldb.org/xupdate/xupdate-wd.html) is not very clear about this but since empty attributes are legal in XML IMO xupdate should be able to append empty attributes. I will fix this in the next release of Lexus. Btw you have more chance getting problems with xupdate fixed if you post your problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED] regards, Jeroen Breedveld -- X-Hive Corporation e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: +31 10 2818080 http://www.x-hive.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Contact administrator: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Read archived messages: http://archive.xmldb.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
