Subject: RE: node-set() function in MSXML? From: "Evan Lenz" <elenz@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2000 09:31:29 -0700 |
I tried your stylesheet with Saxon and with MSXML3, and it worked for both. However, I still don't entirely trust it. Is it really safe to assume that the processor will not choke on the attempt to access an RTF as a node-set because it won't come across that code at run-time? Especially if we're talking about compiling stylesheets--that's where I'd have my doubts about this stylesheet's portability. I'd be particularly interested to hear what Michael Kay has to say about this.

Not the most elegant in the world, but this stylesheet is a tweaked example of my earlier one that works on both MSXSL3 and OracleXSL. Similar strategy could be used for adding compatibility with other engines like Saxon, XT, Xalan, etc. <test xsl:version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:ora="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/" xsl:exclude-result-prefixes="ora"> <xsl:variable name="x"> <a> <b>one</b> <b>two</b> </a> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="vendor" select="system-property('xsl:vendor')"/> <xsl:choose> <!-- Let MSXSL3 coerce RTF in $x to nodeset --> <xsl:when test="contains($vendor,'Microsoft')"> <xsl:for-each select="$x/a/b"> <c><xsl:value-of select="."/></c> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:when> <!-- Use built-in ora:node-set() extension function --> <xsl:when test="contains($vendor,'Oracle')"> <xsl:for-each select="ora:node-set($x)/a/b"> <c><xsl:value-of select="."/></c> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> </test> ______________________________________________________________ Steve Muench, Lead XML Evangelist & Consulting Product Manager BC4J & XSQL Servlet Development Teams, Oracle Rep to XSL WG Author "Building Oracle XML Applications", O'Reilly http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/orxmlapp/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
