Please send me offline an XML document and XSLT stylesheet that
illustrate your problem and I'll find an answer for you.

If you've created a support request with Oracle Support, please
include the reference number in the email so I can make sure
the support analyst also is kept in the loop.

I looked into an issue just yesterday where the problem
narrowed down a bug that's been fixed in the Oracle XDK for Java 10i
Release 10.1 Beta that's up on OTN (http://otn.oracle.com/tech/xml)
wherein an XSL variable assigned like:

   <xsl:variable name="x"><xsl:value-of select="tr/td[1]/@period"/></xsl:variable>

was behaving differently than a variable assigned like this:

   <xsl:variable name="x" select="tr/td[1]/@period"/>

When involved in a boolean comparison with a nodeset like this:

    <xsl:if test="col/@period = $x">

In the 9.2.0.4 Production release, the xsl variable assigned
the former way failed the test, while the variable assigned
the latter way passed the test.

In our 10.1 Beta release of the XDK, both worked as expected.

Subject: [xsl] Problems with Oracle XSL processor


| I am having a problem with the Oracle XSLT processor. It fails to output nodes that it ought to output using a stylesheet I have
written. Using the same source document and stylesheet, I have tested the MSXML, Xalan-J, and Instant Saxon processors. All produce
the tree I expect with all nodes where I expect them. Oracle's transformer fails in a big way. I have been in touch with Oracle's
support, but they seem mainly interested in dodging the issue of what I believe to be a defect in their processor rather than
addressing the matter.
|
| Has anyone else used Oracle's processor extensively and if so, what gimmicks do I need to use to work around its shortcomings?
