Subject: [xsl] A sequence of more than one item is not allowed as the value of item From: "Andrew Welch" <ajwelch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2005 11:18:13 +0100 |
I fear this may be a FAQ... <xsl:variable name="foo" as="xs:string"> <xsl:text/>abc<xsl:value-of select="'def'"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:value-of select="$foo"/> Gives the error message: "A sequence of more than one item is not allowed as the value of item $foo" This is because variable $foo contains two strings, yet I've defined it as type xs:string - which it seems refers to a single string. If I define it as xs:string+ I get the separator and then need to use string-join(). If I drop the as="xs:string" attribute I get the desired result 'abcdef' - but this is because that's the string value of the nodeset. This is very upside down for me. Is it really the case that we will have to be very aware of how many items we are creating and construct large concat()'s, or have a liberal sprinking string-join()'s throughout the stylesheet? Or am I missing something and I shouldn't be using the type xs:string in this way? cheers andrew
