Saxon

David Rudel reports on saxon-help list:

I'm having strange results when testing out streaming with xsl:iterate.

My source file looks like this.

<chapter>

    <page>

        <paragraph/>

        <figure/>

        <paragraph/>

    </page>

    <page>

        <paragraph/>

        <paragraph/>

        <paragraph/>

    </page>

</chapter>

When I do an xsl:iterate using:

<xsl:iterate select="descendant::element()[name(.)=('figure','paragraph')]">

I get expected behavior. (note that

When I instead do this:

<xsl:iterate select="descendant::element()[name(.)=('page','paragraph')]">

Saxon gets lost.

No errors are reported.

I assume the problem is that some elements are children of elements. However, my script does not use any information requiring the content of the elements.

The script is basically:

    <xsl:iterate select="descendant::element()[name(.)=('page','paragraph')]">

        <xsl:text>

        </xsl:text>

        <xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/>

    </xsl:iterate>

I adapted the test as iterate-098 in the XSLT 3.0 test suite. It's working on the 9.6 snapshot but in 9.5 I get different symptoms, namely

java.lang.ClassCastException: net.sf.saxon.expr.XPathContextMinor cannot be cast to net.sf.saxon.expr.XPathContextMajor
