It is not a bug (was: Re^N... Combining stylesheets for baseclass-subclass type d)


What you describe is not exactly a bug.

I think that a stylesheet without a template must generate an error.

The only fault of MSXML3/4 is that it's doing not exactly this, but
crashing instead.

For example, this is Saxon's output:

"Error at xsl:apply-imports on line 6 of file:/E:\xml\msxml\XML
SDK\Samples\Tests\import\error-test.xsl:
  There is no current template
Transformation failed: Run-time errors were reported
Press any key to continue . . . "

Cheers,

Actually, it has nothing to do with that.  I'm talking about
xsl:apply-imports in an xsl:variable.  For instance, I just confirmed
the following pair of files to crash the following systems:

  * IE 5.5 MSXML 3.0 on Windows 95
  * IE 6.0 MSXML 3.0 on Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, all patches
  * IE 6.0 MSXML 3.0 on Windows XP Pro, all patches

--- test.xml ---
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?>
<root />

--- test.xsl ---
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";;>
  <xsl:variable name="test">  
    <xsl:apply-imports />
  </xsl:variable>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The same happens for the following set of files:

--- test2.xml ---
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test2-1.xsl"?>
<root />

--- test2-1.xsl ---
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";;>
  <xsl:import href="test2-2.xsl" />
  <xsl:variable name="test">
    <xsl:apply-imports />
  </xsl:variable>
</xsl:stylesheet>

--- test2-2.xsl ---
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";;>
  <xsl:template match="root" />
</xsl:stylesheet>

This shows that it's not because there are no imported templates to
apply.  It appears to depend on where the xsl:apply-imports is
performed; placing an xsl:apply-imports in an xsl:template does *not*
cause crashes.  However, placing it inside the body of an
xsl:variable or an xsl:param does (I also tested both versions with
xsl:param).

I have not found any information about the bug yet.
