[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] doc() concat expression and whitespace error
 Here's my template: <xsl:template match="db:bibliography" mode="create-bibcollection"> <bibliography> <modsCollection xmlns="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3"> <xsl:for-each select="distinct-values(key('citekey', 'all'))"> <!--+ ================================================ | bibrecord variable identifies where to locate the bib records; in | this case, we access them via http from an eXist XML DB +--> <xsl:variable name="bibrecord" select='doc(concat("http://localhost:8080/exist/servlet/db/mods? _query=", "/mods:modsCollection/mods:mods[@ID='", ., "']"))'/> <xsl:copy-of select="$bibrecord" /> </xsl:for-each> </modsCollection> </bibliography> </xsl:template> However, when I run it from Saxon, I get this error: Error reported by XML parser: Whitespace required before attributes. So, I decided to try to access a document via a web browser. I got an error until I added the namespace declaration in the query. So, this works from the browser: http://localhost:8080/exist/servlet/db/biblio? _query=declare%20namespace%20mods=%22http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3%22;/ mods:modsCollection/mods:mods[@ID='Tilly2000a'] .... but this does not from Saxon: <xsl:variable name="bibrecord" select='doc(concat("http://localhost:8080/exist/servlet/db/biblio? _query=declare%20namespace%20mods=%22http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3%22;", "/mods:modsCollection/mods:mods[@ID='", ., "']"))'/> I know in theory it should work, since I got the suggestion from the author of eXist; am just not sure where the problem is. Is there something wrong with my variable select expression (which is what the error is being reported about) from the XSLT/Saxon side? Bruce
