I tried with JDK 1.4.0_03 and Xalan 2.5, it works fine. I was using command line: java -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl
org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -xsl tst.xsl -in tst.xml the xsl is : <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version= "1.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> <out> <xsl:value-of select="/page/@session"/> </out> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Christine Li XSLT Development IBM Toronto Lab Tel: (905)413-2601 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Anders Samuelson" <anders.samuelson@ To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> aspiro.com> cc: Subject: Problem with XPath expression using JDK1.4.1 with Xalan 2.2 and higher 04/24/2003 09:46 AM Hi, Given the follwing extract of a xml page - <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <page user-id="User1" service="Login" session="41845463" base-url ="servlets/WUDisp" cache-time="0"> <page-area id="pa1" title="Login"> <paragraph id="p1"> <action id="a1" text="Ok" type="internal" service="MNU" function="Main" button="accept"/> </paragraph> </page-area> </page> - I'm trying to access the 'base-url' and 'session' attributes of the page element with the XPath expression {/page/@base-url} and {/page/@session}. (For the complete java code and stylesheet see attachments. Execute the java class with the command: java -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl TransformTest) This works fine using JDK 1.4.1 and putting Xalan 2.1 and Xercex 1.4.3 in the endorsed directory. However using any later versions e.g. Xalan 2.5 together with Xerces 2.4 fails. The expressions evaluate to "" instead of the values given in the xml source. I'm not using any default namespace so there should be no issues there?! Any help solving this problem is greatly appreciated!
