RE: AW: AW: Non existent tag error...
In my hurry, I accidentally put the attribute prefix ('@') in the examples,
which I'm sure you worked out.
Nevertheless, neither xsl:when test=Transaction/Filing/OldFilingNumber
nor xsl:when test=Transaction/Filing/OldFilingNumber!='' should cause an
xpath error per se. I would suggest you look elsewhere for the cause of your
problem.
The column number in that message looks a bit odd (-1). I'm not familiar
with the way you are doing your transforms, maybe you could try a different
parser and see if you get the same error?

So I am not totally clear then, does Darrens method
check to see if the tag exists then? Anyways, I am
still getting the XPath error with his method. Any
other suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi Darren!
That's not completely righ.
Your tests check if the attribute named tagname
exists,
not the tag named tagname.

I've found that the test needs to encompass three
possibilities:
1. That the tag is not present;
2. That the tag is empty (ie. tagname=''), or;
3. That the tag is present and contains a value.
If you use test=@tagname, the test will be true in
cases 2 and 3. However,
if you use test=not(@tagname='') (or
test=@tagname!='') then it will
only be true for case 3, at least this is the case
with the parser I use. So
it depends on whether or not you want different
behaviour when the tag is
missing than you want when the tag is present but
empty.

I did not solve the problem, I was going to add the
line that I said oops on in the original message,
sorry for the confusion. I will try this and see if
it
works.
Thanks,

Hi Bryan,
did you solve the problem, or what does the oops
mean??
Anyway:
xsl:when
test=Transaction/Filing/OldFilingNumber
!=
''
is not right, I think! Try:
xsl:when
test=Transaction/Filing/OldFilingNumber
That is the right term, the book says so.

Oops, line 87 is the line that does the xsl:when
test!

This was working correctly, but now I am getting
an
error:

Line#:

The only thing that has changed was that I
reinstalled
fop? Am I missing a required jar or have a
different
version that would make this stop working?
