XSLT different than pure

[thammr]

Hi

I am experimenting with using Schematron to perform some XML validation that appears impossible using XSD constraints. Initially I used Jing with eXist-db. That worked but provided no usable error locations (line="-1" column="-1"). I then tried Ph-Schematron 5.6 with Java.

Using XSLT, I get the correct response (1 assert failure from 1st rule). Using pure, I get heaps of bogus assert failures from both rules.

Schematron

test.txt

Pure seems to be ignoring [@id=$propname] in both rules as I get the same result when I remove them. The [@id=$subname] in the first rule => count($definition) = 0. If I remove it, count($definitions) = total number of property definitions. It seems that [@id=$subname] & [@id=$propname] are not working as I expect with pure.

Am I doing something wrong?

I hope I have attached the schematron, java and xml properly.

The location attribute of failed-assert apparently uses zero-based indexing for Pure and one-based indexing for XSLT. My understanding is that xpath requires one-based indexing.

Yes I figured that "pure" creates more problems than it solves. And I think I will kick it (or at least move it to a separate artefact). There is another open issue (#88) that would also require me to make a whole bunch of changes. That's why I will most likely make a strategic rewrite for v6 so that you are not eventually kept in the trap of "Pure" Schematron ;-)

No worries mate, XSLT works very well for me.

Closing this, as it works.
