I am trying to use the variable myKey to check to see if it's value (ie.
"currencyCode") is an element in another document.
I am having some problems. does anyone know what is wrong with this xsl.
I get the following error:
XSL Error: pattern = 'document('en_US.xml')/locale/$myKey'
Extra illegal tokens: 'myKey', style tree node:
org.apache.xalan.xslt.ElemIf@206
d161
XSL Error: Could not parse new_currency.xsl document!, Location
file:/C:/javaone
/new_currency.xsl, line 11, offset 55

Here is my xsl template::
<xsl:template match="object">
<xsl:for-each select="property">
<xsl:variable name="myKey" select="key"/>
<xsl:if test="$myKey='currencyCode'">
This works; try the next if
<xsl:if test="document('en_US.xml')/locale/$myKey">
insert label
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Here is my en_US.xml:
<locale>
<currencyCode>Currency Code</currencyCode>
<fraction>Fraction</fraction>
</locale>
Here is my main xml doc:
<object>
<property>
<key>currencyCode</key>
<value>USD</value>
</property>
<property>
<key>fraction</key>
<value>cent</value>
</property>
</object>
