Saxon also produces the output you consider weird, which is actually the
correct output.
When you write:
<xsl:for-each select="$globalTableNames">
<xsl:element name="TABLE">
<xsl:attribute name="tableid"><xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:variable name="tablename"><xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="/DGS/BOOKMARKS/TABLEID[BMTABLE = $tablename]"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
the absolute path expression /DGS/... selects relative to the root node
of the document containing the context node. The context node is an
element in $globalTableNames, which came from document('')/..., that is,
from the stylesheet. The stylesheet does not have a /DGS element as the
outermost element, so this expression selects nothing and the
apply-templates produces no output.
To select from the root of the principal source document, declare a
global variable
<xsl:variable name="root" select="/">
and use
<xsl:apply-templates select="$root/DGS/BOOKMARKS/TABLEID[BMTABLE =
$tablename]"/>

Subject: [xsl] Weird XSLT processor output
Okay here is the situation, given the following input XML: <DGS>
<BOOKMARKS>
<TABLEID>
<BMTABLE>CLAIMANT</BMTABLE>
<BMDESC>Address 1</BMDESC>
<BMFIELD>ADDRESS1</BMFIELD>
<XSLTEMP><xsl:template
match="CLAIMANT/ADDRESS1"><xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:template></XSLTEMP>
</TABLEID>
<TABLEID>
<BMTABLE>CLAIMANT</BMTABLE>
<BMDESC>Address 2</BMDESC>
<BMFIELD>ADDRESS2</BMFIELD>
<XSLTEMP><xsl:template
match="CLAIMANT/ADDRESS2"><xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:template></XSLTEMP>
</TABLEID>
<TABLEID>
<BMTABLE>CLAIMANT</BMTABLE>
<BMDESC>ANUMBER</BMDESC>
<BMFIELD>ANUMBER</BMFIELD>
<XSLTEMP><xsl:template
match="CLAIMANT/ANUMBER"><xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:template></XSLTEMP>
</TABLEID>
<TABLEID>
<BMTABLE>CLMREP</BMTABLE>
<BMDESC>State</BMDESC>
<BMFIELD>STATE</BMFIELD>
<XSLTEMP><xsl:template
match="CLMREP/STATE"><xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:template></XSLTEMP>
</TABLEID>
<TABLEID>
<BMTABLE>CLMREP</BMTABLE>
<BMDESC>ID</BMDESC>
<BMFIELD>REPID</BMFIELD>
<XSLTEMP><xsl:template
match="CLMREP/REPID"><xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:template></XSLTEMP>
</TABLEID>
</BOOKMARKS>
</DGS>
Desired Output format:
<DGS>
<BOOKMARKS>
<TABLE tableid="tablename">
<FIELD fieldid="fieldname">
<DESC>description</DESC>
<XSLTEMP> </XSLTEMP>
</FIELD>
</TABLE>
</BOOKMARKS>
</DGS>
And the following XSLT's:
(XSLTA)
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:lookup="urn:some.urn" exclude-result-prefixes="lookup">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
indent="yes"/>
<lookup:table>
<BMTABLE>CMSCASE</BMTABLE>
<BMTABLE>CLAIMANT</BMTABLE>
<BMTABLE>CLMREP</BMTABLE>
<BMTABLE>CMSGROUP</BMTABLE>
<BMTABLE>EMPLOYER</BMTABLE>
<BMTABLE>EMPREP</BMTABLE>
<BMTABLE>HEARING</BMTABLE>
<BMTABLE>HEAROFFCR</BMTABLE>
<BMTABLE>OTHERCPT</BMTABLE>
<BMTABLE>SUBPOENA</BMTABLE>
</lookup:table>
<xsl:variable name="globalTableNames"
select="document('')/*/lookup:table/*"/>
<xsl:template match="DGS">
<xsl:element name="DGS">
<xsl:apply-templates select="BOOKMARKS" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="BOOKMARKS">
<xsl:element name="BOOKMARKS">
<xsl:for-each select="$globalTableNames">
<xsl:element name="TABLE">
<xsl:attribute
name="tableid"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:variable

<xsl:apply-templates

</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="TABLEID">
<test/>
<xsl:element name="FIELD">

</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
(XSLTB)
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";

<BMTABLE>CMSGROUP</BMTABLE>
<BMTABLE>EMPLOYER</BMTABLE>
<BMTABLE>EMPREP</BMTABLE>
<BMTABLE>HEARING</BMTABLE>
<BMTABLE>HEAROFFCR</BMTABLE>
<BMTABLE>OTHERCPT</BMTABLE>
<BMTABLE>SUBPOENA</BMTABLE>
</lookup:table>
<xsl:variable name="globalTableNames"
select="document('')/*/lookup:table/*"/>
<xsl:template match="DGS">
<xsl:element name="DGS">
<xsl:apply-templates select="BOOKMARKS"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="BOOKMARKS">
<xsl:element name="BOOKMARKS">
<xsl:variable name="bookmarks"
select="TABLEID"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$globalTableNames">
<xsl:element name="TABLE">
<xsl:attribute

<xsl:variable name="tablename">
<xsl:value-of

</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable
name="tempNodeset" select="$bookmarks[BMTABLE = $tablename]"/>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="$tempNodeset"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="TABLEID">
<xsl:element name="FIELD">
<xsl:attribute

<xsl:element name="DESC">
<xsl:value-of select="BMDESC"/>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="XSLTEMP">
<xsl:value-of select="XSLTEMP"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When run under XML Spy Enterprise 2004, XSLTA and XSLTB both
produce the same desired output. However, when XSLTA is run
under LibXSLT, Sablotron, and MSXML (have not tested xalan or
saxon), the following output is produced:
<DGS>
<BOOKMARKS>
<TABLE tableid="tablename"/>
<TABLE tableid="tablename"/>
</BOOKMARKS>
</DGS>
My question is, is XML Spy producing the correct output for
XSLTA or are the other three processors not implementing the
transformation correctly?
