RE: [ebxml-dev] resolving xpath expressions in bpss

["Boreham, Rob" <Rob_Boreham@hplb.hpl.hp.com>]

Hi Jean-Jacques,

I don't have a firm example to test as yet (any one know 
where I can get an example of a valid bpss that uses
xpath expressions?)

However, I tried with the following simple example:
XML:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="simple.chuck.xsl"?>
<simple>
   <part name="part one">
      <text>Some pre-amble, </text>
      <parameter name="paraName" 
                 value="the real value" />
   </part>
   <part name="part two">
      <text>more stuff, </text>
      <parameter name="paraName" 
                 value="//part[@name='part one']/parameter/@value" />
   </part>
</simple>

XSL:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
 <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
 <xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:apply-templates />
 </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="/simple" >
   <xsl:for-each select="part">
     <xsl:value-of select="./text/text()" />
     <xsl:value-of select="./parameter/@value" />
   <br></br>
   </xsl:for-each>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

OUTPUT:-
Some pre-amble, the real value
more stuff, //part[@name='part one']/parameter/@value

But I realy want:
Some pre-amble, the real value
more stuff, the real value

Can anyone help?

Regards
Rob

Rob:

As it is a regular Xpath expression, I don't see why they would not
yield the correct result processed within a stylesheet?

Are you experiencing some problem?
