Re: error in XSL file when using JAXP

Thanks David and Michael

Okay at least I think I know where the problem is
arising now.

I have a section of code soon after the for-each loop
which tests for the common values present in both the
XML files imported at the start of the XSL.

The lines are:
-----------
<xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="distinct-values($aVal[for $a in .
return
normalize-space($oVal)[contains(lower-case(.),lower-case($a))]])">

	<xsl:variable name="matchingVals"
select="distinct-values($aVal[for $a in . return
normalize-space($oVal)[contains(lower-case(.),lower-case($a))]])"/>
					
	<xsl:if test="not(empty($matchingVals))">
----------
Now the variable $matchingVals does not contain nodes
but common atomic values.

Is there any other way of writing out this test case
so that I can deal with the new version processor
requirements?

Note: $aVal and $oVal are -
----------
////$arch = File1.xml
////$ont = File2.xml
<xsl:variable name="aVal"
select="$arch/SubConcepts/SubConcept/Value"/>
		
<xsl:for-each select="$ont/SubConcepts/SubConcept">
     <xsl:variable name="oVal" select="."/>

---------

Thanks
