Re: [xsl] Xalan won't accept QName in XPath node test

Thank you for the suggestion, but it still gives me trouble -- I must be doing something else wrong. I have tried with numerous xalan versions -- "some old xalan with no version", the xalan distributed with jdk 1.4.1, and with xalan 2.5.0 -- the first two complain with the message javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Extra illegal tokens: 'Article'. Xalan 2.5.0 says "javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: A node test that matches either NCName:* or QName was expected."

Which XSLT engine did you get it to work with? Xalan/version?

Cheers,
Kim

with
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Article xmlns="/type/Article.xsd">
   <title>foo</title>
   <body>bar</body>
</Article>
works for me.

good luck, jim fuller

Subject: [xsl] Xalan won't accept QName in XPath node test
I hope one of you guys have seen before and can give me a hint as to what I am doing wrong. I cannot find anything pointing me to a solution either in this mailing list or elsewher.

Simple problem : Match an element in a default namespace from an XSL stylesheet. Wrong solution: (My files are inlined below) Declaring the same namespace as 'art' within the stylesheet and using the xpath expression "art:Article" to match <Article/> elements.

That does not work. XmlSpy / IE6 has no trouble stylesheeting the same files.

Am I doing something wrong or is Xalan doing something wrong?

Any help and hints greatly apprecieated.
*Source document*
<Article xmlns="/type/Article.xsd">
   <title>foo</title>
   <body>bar</body>
</Article>
*Stylesheet*
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
               xmlns:art="/type/Article.xsd"
               version="1.0">
   <xsl:template match="art:Article">Matched!</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
