[xsl] Re: Can't get expath-file functions to work in Saxon 9.5 PE

[Martin Holmes <mholmes@xxxxxxx>]

That does work for expath file functions, but I can't get the zip 
functions to work. I wonder if anyone can suggest what I'm doing wrong 
here. You have to pass a <zip:file> element to the expath-zip:zip:file() 
function, and the simplest way I can see to do that is to create the 
zip:file element inside a variable and then pass the variable to the 
function:

<xsl:variable name="zipFile">
      <zip:file href="{$outputFilePath}">
        <zip:dir name="META-INF">
          <zip:entry name="manifest.xml" src="{concat($tempDir, 
'/META-INF/manifest.xml')}" method="xml"/>
        </zip:dir>
      </zip:file>
      </xsl:variable>

      <xsl:sequence select="zip:zip-file($zipFile/zip:file)"/>

I've also tried with

      <xsl:sequence select="zip:zip-file($zipFile)"/>

I've tried using both "zip" and "expath-zip" as the namespace prefix; in 
all cases I get this error:

Cannot find a matching 1-argument function named 
{http://expath.org/ns/zip}zip-file().

I know this isn't yet intended to be stable, but I would have thought 
the function would be accessible even if it fails somehow.

cheers,
Martin
