Saxon

From xsl:list, today:

I tested using the following code in oXygen 14.1 with Saxon 9.4.0.4.

<xsl:stylesheet version="3.0"

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

xmlns:ahf="http://www.yahoo.co.jp/tmakita">

<xsl:template match="root">

<xsl:variable name="slectFunc" as="function(*)"

select="ahf:funcGetChildElementByName('d')"/>

xsl:copy

<xsl:sequence select="$slectFunc(.)"/>

</xsl:copy>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:function name="ahf:funcGetChildElementByName" as="function(*)">

<xsl:param name="prmElemName" as="xs:string"/>

<xsl:sequence select="function($a as element()) as element()*

{$a/child::*[starts-with(name(),$prmElemName)]}"/>

</xsl:function>

</xsl:stylesheet>

However Saxon returns following error.

System ID: D:\My Documents\Proj\XSLT-TEST\20130113-func\test.xsl

Main validation file: D:\My Documents\Proj\XSLT-TEST\20130113-func\test.xsl

Engine name: Saxon-EE 9.4.0.4

Severity: error

Description: 0

Is there any workarounds?

It's a NullPointerException in NameFn, and a workaround is to use name(.) instead of name(). It seems the context item isn't being supplied as an implicit argument. Works OK on the 9.5 branch.
