tokenize func

[shruti]

hello,     i am using xalan's extension function tokenize as -   xpath =//employee[tokenize(./,",")] XObject ob = XPathAPI.eval(doc,xpath); NodeSet ns = ob.mutableNodeset();  for (int i =0;i<ns.getLength();i++) {     Node n =ns.elementAt(i);     serializer.transform(new DOMSource(n), new StreamResult(System.out)); }     The output i get is the employee nodes as in the input employee.xml. The strings did not get seperate on the basis of tokens.   But  in the tokenize function in org/apache/xalan/lib/Extensions.java ,the resultset formed does contain seperate strings ie proper tokens. I am not able to understand as to how then the result is not correct . what else do i need to do ?   Input - emplooyee.xml -------------------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <employees xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan" > <employee>Herbert,Johnny,09/01/1998,95000</employee> <employee>Hill,Graham,08/20/2000,89000</employee> </employees>       thanx shruti
