Hi Johannes,

maybe you could try absolute path like:

   * UNIX ... file:///foo/bar/this.xsl
   * Windows ... file:///C:/foo/bar/this.xsl

Just to make sure that the file is fetched from the right location.

The value of the variable $filename is correct, because I use this variable three times in the same stylesheet within xi:include statements, and it works. So the output of <xsl:value-of select="$filename" /> is correct. The output of <xsl:value-of select="document($filename)/*" /> is empty, and I get no error. Just an empty value, where should be a value.

The file is located in "COB-INF/resource/internal/sql/configuration", and I access it by "resource/internal/sql/configuration/filename". I think it is correct or?.

Hi Johannes,

Well firstly if you're using a variable to store your filename you
shouldn't need quotes around it. Should just be <xsl:value-of
select="document($filename)/NodeA/NodeB/NodeC" />

If that doesn't work it could be a problem with the path to your file or
the path to your nodes. The XML needs to be well formed, but if you're
not getting an error then that shouldn't be a factor. I'd make sure the
file path is correct by trying to output everything in the file
<xsl:value-of select="document($filename)/*" /> or use doc-available to
tell you.

According to your XML input your xpath looks ok (assuming first </NodeB>
is <NodeB>).

Subject: Re: problem with document() function

Hi Heather,

yes I thought the same. Thats what I tried, only to test the document()
function:

<xsl:value-of select="document('$filename')/NodeA/NodeB/NodeC" />

but I got no output. When I insert <xsl:value-of
select="doc-available('$filename')" /> for example, nothing works
anymore :)

The content of $filename is correct.

The xml structure of the file is:

<NodeA>
    </NodeB>               <NodeC>
            text
        </NodeC>         </NodeB>
</NodeA>

Could it be still a path issue?

Hi Johannes,

You should be able to use the document() function to interrogate the contents of an external XML file. It is also a good idea to use
doc-available() first to check for the existence of the file and build

the tree in memory.
