I have a param which is populated with an XML source.
The paramter is declared like this:
<xsl:param name="ENTRY_TEMPLATE" select="/"/>
My top level match is:
<xsl:template match="/">
Within this template rule I apply the following:
<xsl:apply-templates select="$ENTRY_TEMPLATE"/>
If the param ENTRY_TEMPLATE is not set, I end up with an infinite loop.
Is
this normal behaviour? I'm guessing that maybe it is bad practice to
declare the param as I have.
You are instantiating xsl:apply-templates with the root node in a template
that matches the root node, which will certainly result in an infinite
loop.
Any clues on this?
Perhaps you want an empty node-set, if the param is not set?
<xsl:param name="ENTRY_TEMPLATE" select="/.."/>
