Alernatively, use the xsl:map and xsl:map-entry instructions. Unlike map:merge
this doesn't allow any control over handling of duplicates (though we're adding
that as a Saxon extension in the next release).
<xsl:variable name="myMap" as="map(xs:string,xs:string+)">
<xsl:map>
<xsl:map:entry key="'key1'" select="'val11','val12'"/>
etc

Hello,
is it legal to construct a map this way :
<xsl:variable name="myMap" as="map(xs:string,xs:string+)">
<xsl:sequence select="map:entry('key1', ('val11','val12'))"/>
<xsl:sequence select="map:entry('key2', ('val21','val22'))"/>
</xsl:variable>
Or should I construct a sequence of map:entry, and then apply map:merge on
that sequence ?
You should use map:merge(map(*)*) on a sequence of maps - map:entry()
produces a single entry map. $myMap as written has type map(*)+ - a sequence
of single-entry maps. Use the $options second argument of map:merge() to
control behaviour when duplicate keys are detected...
Thanks in advance,
Christophe
