RE: "*|@*|text()" vs. "node()"

instead of <xsl:apply-templates select="*|@*|text()"/>, I think you just
want <xsl:apply-templates> otherwise, you're applying the templates to the
children of whatever matches the template first and not getting the original
match.  Also, I think that it's going to match everything so all the
children 3 levels nested and below are going to be repeated.  As far as the
attribute, I don't believe you can have <xsl:choose> as a child of
<xsl:attribute>.  Also, you can't have <xsl:attribute> without an opening
element before it..  Also, I don't know if it would make a difference, but
try <xsl:template match="*/@href"> instead of simply match="href"

Subject:  "*|@*|text()" vs. "node()"


I want to shorten/improve my XSL-code, but a problem occures. Until now I
had a stylesheet like the following:

<xsl:template match="*|@*|text()">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="*|@*|text()"/>
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@href">
   <xsl:attribute name="href">
     <xsl:choose>
       <!-- specifying the value -->
     </xsl:choose>
   </xsl:attribute>
</xsl.template>

<!-- some more templates -->

Now I changed "*|@*|text()" to "node()" (both <xsl:template> and
<xsl:apply-templates>) and I thought it should make no differences, because
the original XML contains only elements, attributes and text-nodes.
But now I get an error-message:

href has an illegal attribute: {1}

Is this a bug in Xalan, because the priority of the templates doesn't work
correctly anymore? Or what can be the problem?

Thanks in advance,

Joerg
