Xalan C++, document() and current() functions confusion ?

[Pascal Bricard <pb...@sambatechnologies.com>]

Hello,

I have tried the current() function like that :
...
      <xsl:apply-templates select="current()"/>
...

with the TestXSLT.exe tool, and i got the error :

 XSLException Type is : XSLException
 Message is : The document() function requires at least one argument!


After this test, i tried to use an external XML file into a template with
the document() function :
...
  <xsl:template match="/Identification/Patient/Nom">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:value-of select="document('external_doc.xml')/Patient/Name"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
...

And i got the error :

XSLException Type is : XSLException
Message is : Invalid function name detected: document


With these 2 errors, i got the idea to try to replace document() function
by current() one :
...
  <xsl:template match="/Identification/Patient/Nom">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:value-of select="current('external_doc.xml')/Patient/Name"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
...

and it works well !!

Since the current() function should not accept any parameter, it sounds
like a little confusion between the 2 functions...

Thanks for help,
