Re: try/catch with messages

Thanks Jonathan,

That's a really helpful resource, and has cleared up a lot of my
questions about the operation of ports. Unfortunately the try/catch
examples generate an inline output in the catch sections, rather than
trying to access the error which made the try fail, as I'm trying to do.

The following example now at least runs (using the same xml/xslt as
before). However, while a successful 'try' correctly outputs the xslt
transform output, when it fails because the xslt has terminated with an
xsl:message, the catch section simply reproduces the original input. I
still can't work out how to connect the catch input to the xslt error
message, instead of to the initial input.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<p:declare-step xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc" version="1.0">		
	<p:input port="source" primary="true">			
		<p:document href="test.xml"/>
	</p:input>
	<p:output port="result" primary="true" sequence="false"/>
	
	<p:try name="try-test">
		<p:group>
			<p:xslt name="tester">
				<p:input port="stylesheet">
					<p:document href="test.xslt"/>		
				</p:input>
				<p:input port="parameters" sequence="true">
					<p:empty/>
				</p:input>
			</p:xslt>
		</p:group>
		<p:catch>
			<p:filter select="/"/>
		</p:catch>
	</p:try>

</p:declare-step>
