Re: [xsl] Confirmimg - Bug in Accessing Global XSL Variables

["Dimitre Novatchev" <dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx>]

I could not reproduce your claimed problems.

With this files:

base_template.xsl:
==============
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
 xmlns:wbt="myWebTemplater.1.0">

      <!-- BASE TEMPLATE -->

      <xsl:template name="wbt:A_Template">
              BASE_TEMPLATE
              A template in BASE
      </xsl:template>

      <xsl:template name="wbt:B_Template">
              B_Template in BASE
      </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


master_template.xsl:
===============
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:wbt="myWebTemplater.1.0">

      <!-- MASTER TEMPLATE -->

      <!-- IMPORT BASE -->
      <xsl:import href="base_template.xsl"/>


      <!-- OVERRIDE A_Template -->
      <xsl:template name="wbt:A_Template">
              OVERRIDE! BASE_TEMPLATE

              A template in MASTER
      </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

and

page_template.xsl:
==============
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:wbt="myWebTemplater.1.0">

      <!-- PAGE TEMPLATE -->

      <!-- IMPORT MASTER TEMPLATES -->
      <xsl:import href="master_template.xsl"/>



      <!-- OVERRIDE A_Template -->
      <!-- THIS FAILS TO OVERRIDE THE TEMPLATE -->
      <xsl:template name="wbt:A_Template">
              A template in PAGE
      </xsl:template>

      <xsl:template match="/">
              <!-- THIS FAILS -->
              <xsl:call-template name="wbt:B_Template"/>
              <xsl:call-template name="wbt:A_Template"/>
      </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

when applying the stylesheet contained in page_template.xsl to any
source xml (not used) file, I get the correct results:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
              B_Template in BASE

              A template in PAGE


Anyone can do/verify this result using the XML Editor of VS 2005.
