RE: [xml-dev] XSTL stylesheet workarounds for exceptions

Hi Michael,

I encountered the following error when switching over to Saxon 9.1 Open Source version so that I could use the empty() as suggested:

[Fatal Error] javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource:1:20: XML version "2.0" is not supported, only XML 1.0 is supported.

javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: XML version "2.0" is not supported, only XML 1.0 is supported.

at org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl..newTransformer(TransformerFactoryImpl.java:795)

Below is where StreamSource is used in my Java application:

Transformer hobbiesTransformer = hobbiesFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(hobbiesStyleSheetBIS));

JDOMSource hobbiesSource = new JDOMSource(hobbiesOriginaljdomDocument);

JDOMResult hobbiesResult = new JDOMResult();

hobbiesTransformer.transform(hobbiesSource, hobbiesResult);

What is the alternative to using StreamSource in XSLT 2.0?

Many thanks again,

Jack

<xsl:template match="ns:p[ns:strong='Hobbie:']|ns:p[ns:strong='Hobbies:']">

Now the only question left is the second half ( ii ) of the original post
included below:



    ( ii ) I also like to add a default generic value for any missing
element. Say if there are no

    <p><strong>Hobbies:</strong></p> in such document, yet I still would
like to generate a

    null element such as <hobbies>Unknown</hobbies>.


You need to do this at the next level up, where you are applying-templates
to the p elements. Something like

<xsl:variable name="hobbies" select="ns:p[ns:strong='Hobbies:']"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$hobbies"/>
<xsl:if test="empty($hobbies)">
... default output goes here ...
</xsl:if>
