Re: Problem with document() function on web server

Hi Maria,

I tried two different versions of the document() function to format dates.
Both versions worked on my local hard drive but not on the web server. I
know that I have a more recent version of Xalan on my hard drive, but I am
wondering if something else is causing the problem.

This version of the template, in which the monthnames were stored in

separate namespace, caused the stylesheet to stop transforming.

<fr:month-names>

  <fr:month num="01">jan</fr:month>
  <fr:month num="02">f&#233;v</fr:month>
  <fr:month num="03">mar</fr:month>
 </fr:month-names>

<xsl:template name="FrenchMonth">

  <xsl:value-of
select="document('')/*/fr:month-names/fr:month[(_at_)num=$month]"/>
 </xsl:template>


I assume you are being brief here, but just to be sure: where do you define the 
variable month?

This version of the template, in which the monthnames were stored in an
external XML file, returned a null value.

<MonthNames>

 <French>
  <Name num="01">jan</Name>
  <Name num="02">f&#233;v</Name>
  <Name num="03">mar</Name>
 </French>
</MonthNames>

<xsl:variable name="FrenchMonth"

select="document('month_names.xml')/MonthNames/French"/>
 <xsl:template name="FrenchMonth">
  <xsl:value-of select="$FrenchMonth/Name[(_at_)num=$month]"/>
 </xsl:template>


I think you can better add a namespace to the external file as well.

For the remainder, I would say that things depend on how you configured your web server and how youexecute the stylesheet. Do you execute them server-side?
