Hello, everyone! Back to the list.
I've written an xslt that stores Nodesets in a Hashtable like follows:
-------------
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:ht="/java.util.Hashtable">
<xsl:param name="table"/>
<xsl:template match="domain">
<xsl:for-each select="entity">
<xsl:variable name="name" select="concat('',@name)"/>
<xsl:variable name="entityNode" select="."/>
<xsl:variable name="aux"
select="ht:put($table,$name,$entityNode)"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
-------------
In my application I have the method:
----------
public Element getDefinition ( String name ) {
LocPathIterator lpi = (LocPathIterator) _tableOfEntities.get(name);
Node n = lpi.nextNode();
return (Element)n;
}
--------
And this method is used like follows:
-----------
Element entity = this.getDefinition(name);
NodeList nl = ((Node)entity).getChildNodes();
-----------
But the execution stops with the following error:
DOM ERROR! class: org.apache.xalan.stree.ElementImpl
I'm using LotusXSL 2.0 with VisualAge3.5 and found that the error arrises
when "getChildNodes()" is called because "entity" is not really an "Element"
or a "Node" (which both are interfaces for
org.apache.xalan.stree.ElementImpl"). But I cannot understand the "why" of
this error. Any ideas?
Thanks and Best Regards,
