Hi,
I am trying to make a variable that is either true or false, and
later doing an <xsl:if> operation with the condition being not'd, but
for some reason xalan 2.4.D1 is saying that a not("variable assigned
as false") is not true.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Test case:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<!-- make a false variable entitled 'false-variable' -->
<xsl:variable name="false-variable">
<xsl:value-of select="false()"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:text>$false-variable == </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$false-variable"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$false-variable">
<xsl:text>variable is true.</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="not($false-variable)">
<xsl:text>variable is false.</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>This should not occur.</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
outcome:
$ java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in job-listing.xml -xsl test.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
$false-variable == false
variable is true.
?
