I then try an example from Chapter 2 (from the archive found at the address above) with:
java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in greetings.xml \ -xsl greeting.xsl -out test.html
The sample document in the ZIP file is not the same as in the book. In the book, it has a "greeting" element at the root and that would have been properly selected. Here there is no not "greeting" at the document root, so no selection is done. -- If the XSL file uses "*/greeting", or even just "*", as select pattern, it works again. -- You can also leave off the template for "/", then the build-in template matches that traverses the whole XML tree and triggers all matching templates for sub-elements. The Xalan options -TT -TC are very helpful to see what is actually going on during parsing.

There are a number of examples in the book that are variations. These are to get the basic ideas across. The greeting.xsd file in the ZIP contains: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- greeting.xsl --> <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="greeting"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="greeting"> <html> <body> <h1> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </h1> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
-- If the XSL file uses "*/greeting", or even just "*", as select pattern, it works again.
What did you change above to make it work again?
-- You can also leave off the template for "/", then the build-in template matches that traverses the whole XML tree and triggers all matching templates for sub-elements.

I did try -tt and -tc. I cannot say they provided more information. At least not to my as-yet untrained eyes. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

My mistake. D*mn. I should have been trying: java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in greeting.xml \ -xsl greeting.xsl -out test.html There were two xml data files with very similar names. This sort of a 'did you plug it in' type of error on my part...
