Subject: an xpath query that works in query editor doesn't work in xslt

Any assistance that can be provided is much appreciated.

The source xml document is attached as XmiTest.xmi

In the xpath query editor, the xpath query "/XMI/XMI.content/UML:Diagram" returns two hits, as it should.

In the attached xsl file, line 8266 contains the following xsl statement:

<xsl:for-each select="/XMI/XMI.content/UML:Diagram">

Whether in debug mode or not, this statement is returning no hits. In debug mode, if a watch is set with the name =/XMI/XMI.content, the correct value is returned. But if the watch is set to /XMI/XMI.content/UML:Diagram an empty value returns.

The built-in xslt processor is being used.

XmiTest.zip
contains xmi and xsl documents

Hi Joe,
the problem is that the XSLT stylesheet associates the UML prefix to
the namespace "org.omg.xmi.namespace.UML" while the XML document
associates it to "omg.org/UML13", so the UML:Diagram query done by
the XSLT cannot match the UML:Diagram node of the document.
I don't know which namespace is right, but you must make them match.

Hope this helps,
Alberto

Thanks for your assistance. I have stared for hours; sometimes fresh eyes go a long ways.
