XMLSpy is probably taking its input from the Microsoft MSXML3 parser, which
notoriously strips whitespace text nodes from the input without you asking
it to. When you do
<xsl:apply-templates select="../superclass/class/child::node()"/>
you are selecting three nodes: two whitespace text nodes, and an element,
and you are processing all of these. The default rule for a text node is to
copy it to the output.
To make your stylesheet work with a standards-compliant XML parser, either
change the above to:
<xsl:apply-templates select="../superclass/class/child::*"/>
so you only process child element nodes, or (preferably) write
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
at the top level of the stylesheet, to indicate that all whitespace text
nodes should be removed before further processing.

Subject: [xsl] Saxon8: XML to XML transformation
Hello everybody,
I've got a little problem and don't know how to solve it. I
use Saxon8 inside a JavaBean and want to transform some data
from an XML file to another XML file. If I use XMLSpy and
apply the XSLT transformation to the XML file I get the
desired output, but not with Saxon8.
What am I supposed to do to get the same output like with
XMLSpy? Why does Saxon behave like that?
Thank you in advance,
with kind regards,
Marco
XML input:
---------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<molecule>
<object>
<variable name="marco"/>
</object>
<superclass isaType=":">
<class>
<constant name="employee"/>
</class>
</superclass>
</molecule>
XMLSpy output:
-----------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ObjectClassificationAtom class="employee">
<ObjectVariable name="marco" class="employee"/>
</ObjectClassificationAtom>
Saxon8 output:
----------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ObjectClassificationAtom class="
employee
">
<ObjectVariable name="
marco
" class="
employee
"/>
</ObjectClassificationAtom>
my simple XSLT transformation:
----------------------------------------------
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2006/xpath-functions";
xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon";>
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/" >
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="molecule">
<xsl:if test="superclass/@isaType = ':'">
<xsl:element name="ObjectClassificationAtom">
<xsl:attribute name="class">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="superclass/class/child::node()"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="object">
<xsl:element name="ObjectVariable">
<xsl:attribute
name="name"><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:if test="../superclass">
<xsl:attribute name="class">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="../superclass/class/child::node()"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="constant | variable | class">
<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
</xsl:template>
<!-- ignore all the rest -->
<xsl:template match="*"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
