http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20531 Variables not supported in <sort> Summary: Variables not supported in <sort> Product: XalanJ2 Version: 2.4 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: org.apache.xalan.xsltc AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apparently variables are not supported in a <sort> element. The following template demonstrates the problem: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> <xsl:template match="/"> <TopNode> <xsl:for-each select="."> <xsl:variable name="foo" select="'bar'"/> <xsl:sort select="$foo"/> <InnerNode/> </xsl:for-each> </TopNode> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> This should sort the InnerNode's (well, since all of them will have the value 'bar', the'll be left in document order), but instead I get the exception "javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: Could not compile stylesheet" when I try to precompile the transform because of the use of $foo within the select attribute of the sort element. As far as I can tell from the XSLT spec, this transform should be completely legal.
