I am running into some issues / inconsistencies running this
transformation on command line vs. within java vs. which
platform I run
it on. I'm hoping the list might have some pointers on how
to resolve his.
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()">
<xsl:sort select="@typeName"/>
<xsl:sort select="name(.)"/>
<xsl:sort />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
This code may have the effect of sorting child elements before attributes
(specifically a child element with no typeName attribute whose name
alphabetically precedes the attribute names). You aren't allowed to create
attributes for an element after creating child elements. In XSLT 1.0 the
processor has the option of ignoring the error by discarding the offending
attributes.
When I run this on Ubuntu Linux 7.10 (fully updated) using
xsltproc, I
encounter this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxml2/+bug/147144
Namely, it reports the error:
runtime error: file SortCollections.xsl line 40 element copy
Attribute
nodes must be added before any child nodes to an element.
That doesn't look like a bug to me, it looks like correct behaviour.
When I run this on Mac OS X 1.5 (Leopard -- fully updated) using
xsltproc, it does exactly what I want with no problems.
That looks like a bug to me.
When I run this script from Java 1.6 (using JAXB) with the
code below,
the identity transform does not copy all the attributes over.
I end up with missing attributes, and I have no idea why.
Xalan is apparently choosing the option to ignore the error and discard the
attributes.
