Presumably you've tried running the relevant parts of the stylesheet on
'LstXMLAccountPG.jsp' as the input, and know that the templates are working
OK?

I might be off here, but there could be a problem with resolving the
(relative) path within the document() function.  If you only use one
argument, the document() function resolves relative paths according to the
Base URI of the stylesheet itself.  It may be that you want to resolve the
relative path according to the Base URI of the input XML that you have.  In
that case, then you should try:

  <xsl:variable name="tot"
    select="document('../AccountPG/LstXMLAccountPG.jsp', /)" />

Or, of course, change the relative path to be relative to the location of
the stylesheet.

It's (perhaps unfortunately) perfectly legal for a XSLT processor not to
complain if it can't find the file when the document() function is used, in
which case it gets an empty node list, which would give the result that
you're experiencing.

I hope that helps,

Jeni
