I have a v1.0 stylesheet which fills in cross-reference text by

an external document, using the following template rule:
<!-- external cross references -->
<xsl:template match="jump[(_at_)srcfile]">
<xsl:variable name="jfil" select="substring-before(@srcfile,'#')" />
<xsl:variable name="jid" select="substring-after(@srcfile,'#')" />
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:attribute name="text">
<xsl:for-each select="document($jfil,/)">
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(id($jid))" />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
If the external document does not exist I would like the template
to copy
the jump element and give it an empty text attribute, without
generating an
error. However this isn't what happens when the stylesheet is run.
If the
external document is missing the transformation stops with an
error, which
is unfortunate because the main purpose of the stylesheet is to
transform a
document written by FrameMaker so that it is translated from one
schema to
another. If the transformation fails the document is left in an
invalid
state. The XSL processor is Xalan.
Is there anything I can add to the template, or stylesheet, so that
this
situation does not generate a fatal error?
Cheers
