http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4433 XPath bug evaluating comment nodes Summary: XPath bug evaluating comment nodes Product: XalanJ2 Version: 2.2.x Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: Other Component: Xalan AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] While writing an XSLT stylesheet that works in a similar fashion to JavaDoc, I used this: <xsl:variable name="docs" select="//comment()[ starts-with( . , 'mode:')]"/> This should given the same results every time it is evaluated as it doesn't reference the current context. However, for one evaluation (the third of three) it returned an empty nodeset. Changing it to this: <xsl:variable name="docs" select="/*/comment()[ starts-with( . , 'mode:')]"/> (Changing // to /*/) This gave the correct results but limits the possible placement of the comment.
