[xsl] RE: Best way to represent an item and its context?

["Costello, Roger L." <costello@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

Many thanks for the responses.

Please allow me to provide more insight into what I am doing and inquire why I
am getting an "ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException" with Saxon.

Recall that an XML Schema may be imported or included by another XML Schema.
That importing/including schema is the "context" for the schema. Further,
there may be a schema that imports/includes the importing/including schema and
is its context. And so on.

I'd like to represent a schema in its context, i.e., a "schema-in-context".

Here are two simple functions to do it. The first function takes a schema and
creates a schema-in-context that has an empty context. The second takes a
schema and its context.

    <xsl:function name="sic:schema-in-context">
        <xsl:param name="schema" as="element()"/>

        <schema-in-context>
            <schema><xsl:sequence select="$schema" /></schema>
            <schema-in-context />
        </schema-in-context>

    </xsl:function>

    <xsl:function name="sic:schema-in-context">
        <xsl:param name="schema" as="element()"/>
        <xsl:param name="schema-in-context" as="element()"/>

        <schema-in-context>
            <schema><xsl:sequence select="$schema" /></schema>
            <xsl:sequence select="$schema-in-context" />
        </schema-in-context>
    </xsl:function>

Do you see anything wrong with those? Apparently there is something wrong,
since I get an "ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException" with Saxon, as I describe
next.

Here's a variable consisting of three schemas:

            <xsl:variable name="schemas">
                <schemas>
                    <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
                                            targetNamespace="http://www.test.
org"
                                            xmlns="http://www.test.org";
                                           elementFormDefault="qualified">

                        <xsd:include schemaLocation="schema2.xsd" />

                        <xsd:element name="Title" type="xsd:string" />
                        <xsd:element name="Author" type="Author" />

                    </xsd:schema>
                    <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
                                            elementFormDefault="qualified">

                        <xsd:include schemaLocation="schema3.xsd" />

                        <xsd:simpleType name="Author">
                            <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
                                <xsd:maxLength value="20" />
                            </xsd:restriction>
                        </xsd:simpleType>

                    </xsd:schema>
                    <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
                                            elementFormDefault="qualified">

                        <xsd:element name="Date" type="xsd:date" />

                    </xsd:schema>
                </schemas>
            </xsl:variable>

I obtain the first schema and invoke the schema-in-context function with it:

            <xsl:variable name="schema-in-context-1"
select="sic:schema-in-context($schemas/schemas/xs:schema[1])" />

            <Test1>
                <xsl:sequence select="$schema-in-context-1" />
            </Test1>

The output is perfect.

I obtain the second schema and invoke the schema-in-context function with it
and $schema-in-context-1:

            <xsl:variable name="schema-in-context-2"
select="sic:schema-in-context($schemas/schemas/xs:schema[2],
$schema-in-context-1)" />

            <Test2>
                <xsl:sequence select="$schema-in-context-2" />
            </Test2>

Again, the output is perfect.

Now, things go bad. I obtain the third schema and invoke the schema-in-context
function with it and $schema-in-context-2:

            <xsl:variable name="schema-in-context-3"
select="sic:schema-in-context($schemas/schemas/xs:schema[3],
$schema-in-context-2)" />

            <Test3>
                <xsl:sequence select="$schema-in-context-3" />
            </Test3>

I get this exception:

After much effort I am unable to determine what the problem is. Any help you
could provide would be much appreciated. Below is the complete stylesheet.
