XPath doc function and NODESET

Added by Anonymous about 17 years ago

I get an empty NodeList from XPathEvaluator.evaluate("doc('test.xml')/*", n, XPathConstants.NODESET), when the same expression returns a node if I ask for XPathConstants.NODE. Shouldn't the NodeList have 1 item?

I'm surprised Saxon should return a (DOM) NodeList at all. My reading of the code suggests that if the context node is a DOM Node, but the returned nodes are Saxon nodes, the result should be null - not a very satisfactory outcome either! Basically JAXP is underspecified when you use it with multiple documents using different document models, and Saxon is underspecified/undertested in this area also. I'll look into this one on return from vacation.
