xsl:copy-of loses node names
I have an XML document that Im converting to SQL statements using xalanj
2.1
Most of the nodes Im converting, but theres one node type I want to store
in the database as a giant block of XML. Ive got a template thats supposed
to turn the following:
<node><child>Child1</child><child>Child2></child></node>
into
<child>Child1</child><child>Child2></child>
What I get instead is
Child1Child2
The template looks like this:
<xsl:template name="xml_param">
<xsl:param name="xml" />
<xsl:param name="allow_null" select="true()" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="boolean($xml) or
($allow_null=false())">
<xsl:text>'</xsl:text>
<xsl:copy-of select="$xml" />
<xsl:text>'</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>NULL</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
and I call it as
<xsl:call-template name=xml_param>
<xsl:with-param select=node>
</xsl:call-template>
The examples Ive seen at http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N1930.html lead
me to believe this is the correct syntax, but it doesnt seem to be working.
If it matters, my stylesheet contains the following element:
<xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="no" />
Would this cause my problems or is it something else?

I tried your example. See what happens when you use <xsl:output method="xml"/>. The XSLT spec says the text output
method outputs only text nodes.

1) Im using the version of xerces that comes bundled with Xalan 2.1.0,
whichever that one is
2) Ill accept that to get what I said I expected Id need to include /kid
in the select statement. Then, let me change my expectation to be
<parent><kid>Kid1</kid><kid>Kid2</kid></parent>
when I just pass it doc_root/parent. Im still only getting Kid1Kid2 as
output.

First which transformer are you using? second for the output you desire, as
i had already mentioned in my earlier mail,
this s'd be the param passed to the template. You have to have kid too in
the selected nodelist that you are passing.
Otherwise you will get "parent" node too in the output. I tried this using
saxon and xalan it worked just fine ( i got the output you wanted)
<xsl:with-param name=xml select=/doc_root/paren/kid />

[karthik Guru] it s'd be node( ) and not just node ..probably a typo??
<wink/>
i guess it s'd work.
For the output you are expecting , it s''d be
<xsl:with-param select= "node/child">
