Hi Stephen,

This does look like a bug and I couldn't find anything on the bug database either.  Please open a new jira issue against the XalanJ2 project: http://issues.apache.org/jira

Thanks.

element-available failed for the extension which not actually used





Function element-available failed for the extension which not actually used.
Sometimes, it causes NullPointerException, and sometimes just returns false.
Here's the stylesheet caused the problem:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 xmlns:redirect="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/redirect"
 xmlns:xalanredirect="org.apache.xalan.xslt.extensions.Redirect"
 extension-element-prefixes="xalanredirect redirect"
 version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="/">
 <xsl:message>
   <xsl:text>XSL Vendor: </xsl:text>
   <xsl:value-of select="system-property('xsl:vendor')"/>
 </xsl:message>

 <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="element-available('xalanredirect:write')">
     <xsl:message>
       <xsl:text>xalanredirect:write available</xsl:text>
       <xalanredirect:write file="dummy1.xml"/> <!-- **** -->
     </xsl:message>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
     <xsl:message>
       <xsl:text>xalanredirect:write NOT available</xsl:text>
     </xsl:message>
   </xsl:otherwise>
 </xsl:choose>

 <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="element-available('redirect:write')">
     <xsl:message>
       <xsl:text>redirect:write available</xsl:text>
     </xsl:message>
     <redirect:write file="dummy2.xml"/> <!-- **** -->
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
     <xsl:message>
       <xsl:text>redirect:write NOT available</xsl:text>
     </xsl:message>
   </xsl:otherwise>
 </xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Removing any one of the two lines indicated by <!-- **** -->, will cause
the corresponding element-available test to fail. Here's the command line:

E:\xslt>SET CLASSPATH=E:\apache\xalan-j_2_7_0\serializer.jar;E:\apache\xalan-j_2
_7_0\xalan.jar;E:\apache\xalan-j_2_7_0\xercesImpl.jar;E:\apache\xalan-j_2_7_0\xm
l-apis.jar

E:\xslt>java -Duser.language=en org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in index.xml -xsl
style.xsl
file:///E:/xslt/style.xsl; Line #10; Column #16; XSL Vendor: Apache Software Fou
ndation
file:///E:/xslt/style.xsl; Line #17; Column #20; xalanredirect:write available
file:///E:/xslt/style.xsl; Line #36; Column #20; redirect:write NOT available
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

If both lines removed, transforming will fail:

E:\xslt>SET CLASSPATH=E:\apache\xalan-j_2_7_0\serializer.jar;E:\apache\xalan-j_2
_7_0\xalan.jar;E:\apache\xalan-j_2_7_0\xercesImpl.jar;E:\apache\xalan-j_2_7_0\xm
l-apis.jar

E:\xslt>java -Duser.language=en org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in index.xml -xsl
style.xsl
file:///E:/xslt/style.xsl; Line #10; Column #16; XSL Vendor: Apache Software Fou
ndation

file:///E:/xslt/style.xsl; Line #16; Column #63; XSLT Error (javax.xml.transform
.TransformerException): Unknown error in XPath.

       at org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process.doExit(Process.java:1153)
       at org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process.main(Process.java:1126)

I'm using jdk1.5.0_04 with xalan-j_2_7_0.

Is this a bug of Xalan?  I searched the bug database, but nothing
found about this.
Should I report it?
