Xalan-J1 bug

[aj...@metreo.com]

Hi,

When we upgraded from the development version of xalan 1.2 to the
released version of Xalan 1.2, I found that my stylesheet that used to
work with the development version doesn't work anymore.

In the released version of Xalan 1.2, I get the following exception

Exception being thrown:

XSL Error: pattern = 'count(Layout/ScreenGroup[@display='lineitem']) *
$maxLines'
VariableReference given for variable out of context or without
definition!  Name = maxLines, source tree node: #document
XSL Error: SAX Exception

Stylesheet snippet:

<xsl:variable name="maxLines" select="3"/>
<xsl:variable name="strOffset"
select="count(Layout/ScreenGroup[@display='lineitem']) * $maxLines"/>

This looks like a bug in Xalan 1.2.

Hi,
your right, this is a (known) bug which appeared in 1.2 it should be
corrected in 1.2.1
