logicsheets, stylesheets and cocoon-process

[Nadine Carlton <na...@hp.com>]

Hi,

  OK.  I'm confused.  I have xsp pages that accept
an XML input (either from a POST or util:include-file).  They
use the input to generate queries to access a database using
sql processor and then apply a stylesheet before returning the
results.  The processing instructions I'm currently using are:

<?cocoon-process type="xsp"?>
<?cocoon-process type="xslt"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="evuestylesheet.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>

This works.  I want to add a stylesheet transform to be run
against the XML input before the sql processor is used.

i strongly suggest you ditch the sql processor and try the esql
logicsheet. however, judging from your cocoon-process PI's:

you're not even using the sql processor. what gives?

read the xslt spec and you'll understand this error more. value-of isn't
valid where you're trying to use it.
