Hi all,
I am wondering what could be possibly wrong with my code, while I am
trying to read external XML (book_meta.xml) file in my style sheet. The
codes looks like below. I am working on Windows on XSLT2.0
<xsl:variable name="extNode" select="tokenize(document-uri(.),
'\.')[last()-2],'book_meta.xml'"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$extNode/book-meta/book/@author"/> Error
shows here
Engine name: Saxon-EE 9.3.0.5
Severity: fatal
Description: Required item type of first operand of '/' is node();
supplied value has item type xs:string
It's because $extNode is actually a string (or sequence of strings by
the looks of it). You probably want
doc($extNode)/book-meta/.......
...with a tweak to $extNode to create a single string.
