[xsl] WARNING org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The child axis starting at a text node will never select anything

2014-05-13 14:15:30
I was getting the following warning when I'd run a transformation within 
Arbortext Editor 6.1-F000, which uses the Saxon 9.1.0.5 XSLT transformation 
engine:

WARNING org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The child axis starting at a text node 
will never select anything

When I replaced this template

    <xsl:template match="text()" mode="func">
       <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        <xsl:apply-templates mode="func"/>
    </xsl:template>

with this one

    <xsl:template match="*" mode="func">
        <xsl:apply-templates mode="func"/>
    </xsl:template>


the warning went away.

I get the exact same (correct!) output in either case, so I'm wondering what 
the warning means.


In case it matters, there are two other "func" mode templates that match 
specific element-attribute combinations.

<xsl:template match="change[@change='delete'] | sub-change[@change='delete']" 
mode="func"/>

<xsl:template match="change[@change='add']" mode="func">
        <xsl:apply-templates mode="func"/>
   </xsl:template>
