Hi,
- From a discussion about document() and not existant files:
> The W3C document reads:
>
> If there is an error retrieving the resource, then the XSLT processor
> may signal an error; if it does not signal an error, it must recover by
> returning an empty node-set.
Then I would plea for recovering. Please change it to recovering behaviour or
make it chooseable.
It would help a lot for application development.
Just imagine Word (or any other desktop application) would crash, if you
would try to open a not existing file.
Errors should be non-recoverable, recoverable problems should not be flagged
as errors, and be recoverd if not security relevant.
Please please please please please make it recoverable.
Or at least make it questionable:
<xsl:if test="document('file')">
Which would return false, if the file does not exist.
Many greetings,
- --
