[xsl] simple (hopefully) document function question

[Cindy Girard <clm6u@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

  I apologize for the length of the post, but I'm trying to be
  thorough:

  I've been trying to retrieve some data from an outside XML document,
  and I'm failing miserably.

  It seems that I can get the text of the file (which is in the file
  only as a debugging device), but cannot access anything
  structurally.

  Any help would be appreciated. And thank you in advance.
  

  Here's a snip of the outside file:

  -------------------------------
<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">
<test>HELLO</test>

<system systemId="cbcbama" uri="media/childrn/cbcbama.xml">hi</system>

<system systemId="cbcbamb" uri="media/childrn/cbcbamb.xml">hi</system>

<system systemId="cbcbanoa" uri="media/childrn/cbcbanoa.xml">hi</system>

<system systemId="cbcbanob" uri="media/childrn/cbcbanob.xml">hi</system>
</catalog>
  -------------------------------

  Here are the relevant stylesheet sections:

  -------------------------------

<xsl:variable name="utccat" select="document('c:\webserver\utc\xsl\utccat.xml', /)"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<p><xsl:value-of select="$utccat"/></p>
<p><xsl:for-each select="document('utccat.xml')/catalog/system">
   <xsl:value-of select="@systemID"/>
</xsl:for-each> </p>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="div1">
  <xsl:param name="thisid"><xsl:value-of select="ancestor::tei.2/@id"/></xsl:param>

  <xsl:variable name="doc-name"><xsl:value-of select="document('utccat.xml')//system[@systemID=$thisid]/@uri"/></xsl:variable>

<xsl:variable name="doc-name2"><xsl:value-of select="document('utccat.xml')/catalog/system[@systemID=$thisid]"/></xsl:variable>

   <xsl:variable name="testing123"><xsl:for-each select="document('utccat.xml')//system">
     <xsl:value-of select="@systemID" />
     <xsl:value-of select="@uri" />
   </xsl:for-each></xsl:variable>


  <p>TESTINGidHERE: <xsl:value-of select="$thisid"/></p>
  <p>TESTINGid2HERE: <xsl:value-of select="$doc-name2"/></p>
  <p>TESTINGfileHERE: <xsl:value-of select="$utccat//test"/></p>
  <p>TESTINGfile2HERE: <xsl:value-of select="$utccat/catalog/test"/></p>
  <p>TESTINGHERE: <xsl:value-of select="$doc-name"/></p>
  <p>TESTING123HERE: <xsl:value-of select="$testing123"/></p>
   
</xsl:template>

  
  -------------------------------

  Here are my results:
  
  -------------------------------

        <p>
HELLO

hi

hi

hi

hi

        </p>
        <p></p>


        <p xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon";>TESTINGidHERE: cbcbama</p>
        <p xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon";>TESTINGid2HERE: </p>
        <p xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon";>TESTINGfileHERE: </p>
