[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2207?page=comments#action_12331096 ]
David Bertoni commented on XALANJ-2207: --------------------------------------- The match pattern "node()" does not match attributes, because "node()" is an abbreviation for "child::node()" and attributes are not children of their owning elements. From the XSLT recommendation, section 5.2: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#patterns "node() matches any node other than an attribute node and the root node" There is a built-in template for attributes for _every_ mode that generates a text node in the result true with the value of the attribute: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#built-in-rule which is why you see the text "bar" in the result tree. I believe this is not a bug, and this issue should be marked invalid. In the future, please consider asking questions on the Xalan-J user list before you create a Jira issue. > Attribute is not a node > ----------------------- > > Key: XALANJ-2207 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2207 > Project: XalanJ2 > Type: Bug > Components: Xalan > Versions: 2.7 > Environment: Linux amd64, java 1.5.0-05 64bit server mode > Reporter: Martin Vysny > > Let the context attribute be foo="bar". I have the following template: > <xsl:template match="*" mode="baz" priority="1"> > something2 > </xsl:template> > <xsl:template match="node()" mode="baz" priority="0"> > something > </xsl:template> > When the context node is attribute and i call <xsl:apply-templates select="." > mode="baz"/> it outputs text 'bar'. When I modify the template to > <xsl:template match="node() | @*" mode="baz" priority="0"> > something > </xsl:template> > It outputs 'something' as it should. I think there are two errors: > - attribute is not a node, > - why it outputs the attribute value when the mode is not matched? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
