http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25993 XSLTC does not merge xsl:output attributes properly Summary: XSLTC does not merge xsl:output attributes properly Product: XalanJ2 Version: CurrentCVS Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: org.apache.xalan AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quoting the XSLT 1.0 recommendation, section 16 (just before 16.1) : <<A stylesheet may contain multiple xsl:output elements and may include or import stylesheets that also contain xsl:output elements. All the xsl:output elements occurring in a stylesheet are merged into a single effective xsl:output element. For the cdata-section-elements attribute, the effective value is the union of the specified values.>> The following testcase: ----------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0" xmlns:prfx1="http://buyit.com";> <xsl:output method="text" indent="yes" encoding="US-ASCII" omit-xml-declaration="yes" cdata-section-elements="prfx1:cdata1" /> <xsl:output method="xml" cdata-section-elements="prfx1:cdata2" omit-xml-declaration="no" /> <xsl:template match="/"> <output> <prfx1:cdata1>This should be a cdata section and the output method should be xml, and indented</prfx1:cdata1> <prfx1:cdata2>This should be a cdata section and the xml header should be present too</prfx1:cdata2> </output> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> ----------------------------------------- Produces this for Xalan-J interpretive: --------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?> <output xmlns:prfx1="http://buyit.com";> <prfx1:cdata1><![CDATA[This should be a cdata section and the output method should be xml, and indented]]></prfx1:cdata1> <prfx1:cdata2><![CDATA[This should be a cdata section and the xml header should be present too]]></prfx1:cdata2> </output> --------------------------------------- So Xalan-J clearly merges the elements as its output method is "xml", it is indented but its encoding is "US-ASCII". On the other hand, XSLTC produces this: ---------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <output xmlns:prfx1="http://buyit.com";><prfx1:cdata1><![CDATA[This should be a cdata section and the output method should be xml, and indented]] ></prfx1:cdata1><prfx1:cdata2><![CDATA[This should be a cdata section and the xml header should be present too]]></prfx1:cdata2></output> ---------------------------------------- XSLTC has lost all information from the first xsl:output element except for the cdata cdata-section-elements lists. XSLTC needs to merge xsl:output attributes into one effective xsl:output element. Both Xalan-J and XSLTC do not report the error that there are more than one value for an xsl:output attribute (other than cdata-section-elements) and they take the specified recovery of using the last value specified in the stylesheet.
