I found the problem. The reason was that I used a CDATA section in my XSLT to output the <wt:form-template> tag like <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[ <wt:form-template action="#{$continuation/id}.continue" method="POST">]]></xsl:text>
The reason I used a cdata section was that xalan else tries to replace the variable $continuation which is not a variable... If i want to use a CDATA section with xalan I suppose I have to add some parameter to preserve CDATA section, I'm a little bit confused why he outputs the CDATA section if I just do a transformation in the browser but not inside a pipeline ?? Anyway I now used a variable to define the action attribute so that I don't have to use a CDATA section anymore. wouter -----Original Message----- From: Bruno Dumon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: mercredi 26 novembre 2003 19:28 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Woody: problems configuring pipeline On Wed, 2003-11-26 at 12:04, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hello, > > I have a pipeline which transform an XML file into a Woody template file.

Are you using Xalan interpretive or XSLTC? To debug this problem, add a logtransformer in the pipeline producing the form template: <map:match pattern="toWT/*.xml"> <map:generate src="{1}.xml"/> <map:transform src="toWT.xslt"/> <map:transform type="log"> <map:parameter name="logfile" value="out.txt"/> </map:transform> <map:serialize type="xml"/> </map:match> and check that the startElement event for the form-template element contains the correct namespace and local name. If unsure, just post the relevant part of the output here. -- Bruno Dumon http://outerthought.org/ Outerthought - Open Source, Java & XML Competence Support Center [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
