You might want to try //Date_Opened/text(), because what you really want
is the node value of the text child of Date_Opened ...

I am relatively new to XSLT so bare with me if this is an easy
question. I created and I am using a Java Extension that takes a
NodeList. The XML Data for the nodes is of this form:
<Date_Opened>2004/07</Date_Opened>
The extension method signature is this:
public String xslGetOldestAndNewestDates(org.w3c.dom.NodeList nodes)
from xsl I call the method like this
...
<xsl:with-param name="data"
select="java:xslGetOldestAndNewestDates($xslHelper,//Date_Opened)"/>
Which should select all Date_Opened nodes.
In the body of the extension method I iterate over the nodes. When I
call getNodeName() I get the correct name but when I call
getNodeValue() I get null. I read somthing about indeterminate node
types returning null so I tried casting it to a Text node and a
DTMNodeProxy but I still get Null. I had another extension function
that takes a list of nodes of which I only use the names to make
decisions so I tried doing a getNodeValue() there and that also
returned null.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in Advance

Now I've gained some understanding
Of the only world that we see.
Things that I once dreamed of
Have become reality.
These walls that still surround me
Still contain the same old me,
Just one more who's searching for
A world that ought to be.
