Mikael,

With this XML:

<dataType>
   <sequence>
       <moRef name="ManagedObject"/>
       <length>5</length>
   </sequence>
</dataType>

And this XSL (on xalan):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="text"/>

   <xsl:template match="sequence">
       <!-- Check if <sequence>-element has no <length> attribute.-->
       foo
       <xsl:if test="not(length)">
           <xsl:message terminate="yes">
           <!-- class name and attribute error message -->
            Attribute:<xsl:value-of select="../@name"/>
            Class:    <xsl:value-of select="../../@name"/>
            Error:    sequence missing child element, length.
          </xsl:message>
       </xsl:if>
       bar
   </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I get:

       foo
       bar

which is what was expected. Same with empty-element <length/>. When I remove the <length> element I get a termination message, again as expected.

Regards,

--A

Hi,

We are transforming and xml into java code using xsl/xslt in java.
Ny xsl look like this;

......
<!-- Start: Sequence -->
     <xsl:when test="sequence">
     <!-- Check if <sequence>-element has no <length> attribute.-->
     <xsl:if test="not(length)">
      <xsl:message terminate="yes">
        <!-- class name and attribute error message -->
         Attribute:<xsl:value-of select="../@name"/>
	     Class:    <xsl:value-of select="../../@name"/>
         Error:    sequence missing child element, length.
       </xsl:message>
     </xsl:if>
........

When I execute my transformation it fails ( see error below).
The following xml is ok:

<dataType>
                 <sequence>
                     <long>
                        <range>
                            <min>-500</min> <max>500</max>
                        </range>
                     </long>
                     <length>12</length>
                 </sequence>
 </dataType>

But when this xml is tranformed ( below) it fails:

<dataType>
                 <sequence>
                    <moRef name="ManagedObject"/>
                     <length>5</length>
                 </sequence>
</dataType>

I interpret it as when I have a single <element/> I get the error but when I have <element></element> it is a ok. Do I have to make any settings to the xml transformation?
