Subject: Re: [xsl] extension functions returning temporary trees From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 20:38:57 GMT |
I'm trying to return the string "<root>test</root>" from a .NET extension = written in C# to the Altova XML engine running XSLT 2.0. What actually gets returned replaces the "<" with "& l t ;" (without the s= paces) and similarly for ">". This, of course, means that XSLT 2.0 can't = implicitly convert the returned value to a temporary tree. Has anyone else seen this problem and, if so, how have they fixed it? Your help is much appreciated, I've been banging my head against the wall = over this for the past several days. most likely the < has not been turned into & l t ; (check with string-length() the entity reference is simply the way that character is shown in xml. XSLT does not turn a string such as <root>test</root> into a tree, that is the function of an xml parser. I don't have altova to test but most likely you can parse the string uisng .net's xml parser and pass the resulting DOM node to the xslt engine rather than the string.
