Anna,

Cocoon uses underlying XSLT engine to perform the transformation, so either
this is just an XSLT problem in your code or a problem of the Xalan or XSLTC
(which one is used).
You can simply check if your stylesheet works without Cocoon: run Xalan from
the command line with your XML as input and see what happens.

Subject: XPath problem in Cocoon?
Hi all.
Another question for today:
I wrote a small xsl that matches p nodes from the input and prints their
content.
I wrote it like this:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//p">
<xsl:text>Content of this tag is </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Then I run this stylesheet through cocoon pipeline.
I get empty result, e.g. the for-each didn't match any p node in the input
xml file.
But there are p tags in the input.
Moreover, if I change the for-each statement to
<xsl:for-each select="descendant::node()[name()='p']">
It executes correctly!
Can anyone explain to me, why Cocoon doesn't match //node-name?
In XPath both //node-name and descendant::node()[name()='node-name'] have
the same meaning.
I dont want to use descendant::... style because I have this stylesheet get
the XPath expression to match from some external xml file, and it is really
a headache (if possible at all) to change all my //node-name expressions to
descendant::node()[name()='node-name'] style.
Please explain this mistery to me.
Thank you very much for help.
I know I am writing too many e-mails to the group these days, but since I am
very new to Cocoon, I get stuck every few minutes on something new.
Regards,
Anna
