Re: [xsl] XPTY0004: A sequence of more than one item is not

Change

concat(./normalize-space(),./following-sibling::text()[normalize-space()])

to

concat(./normalize-space(),./following-sibling::text()[normalize-space()][1])

So you only select the first following sibling.

Below is the worldcup.xsl:

     <xsl:if test="empty($worldcup-team)">
       <team>Unknown</team>
     </xsl:if>

</xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="ns:p"/> </xsl:stylesheet> The snippet of worldcup.xml are as follows:

  <team>Spain(30 goals)<team>
  <team>Denmark(25 goals)<team>
  <team>Germany(22 goals)<team>
  <team>United Kingdom (15 goals)<team>
Worldcup.xsl has been successful in transforming worldcup.xml, if it was loaded
as a main document in the past.
I am using JDOM and Saxon 9.1 to carry out the transformation on Windows XP. Thanks in advance,

Jack
