Re: [xslt] Question concerning paths

["Marc Heinz" <marc heinz no-log org>]

Okay, I just figured that the significant error wasn't the one i
previously mentioned, the complete (verbose) output was:
[...]
xsltCopyOf: select document('/path_to/meta.xml')
Reusing dictionary for document
xsltCopyOf: result is a node set
xsltCopyTextString: copy text OpenOffice.org/2.0$Win32
OpenOffice.org_project/680m5$Build-9073
xsltCopyTextString: copy text Alex Alex
xsltCopyTextString: copy text 2006-12-06T10:22:16
xsltCopyTextString: copy text Alex Alex
xsltCopyTextString: copy text 2007-02-03T14:45:17
xsltCopyTextString: copy text fr-CH
xsltCopyTextString: copy text 20
xsltCopyTextString: copy text PT3H26M30S
Object is an XSLT value tree :
1  ELEMENT office:document-meta
    namespace office href=urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:of...
    namespace xlink href=http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink
    namespace dc href=http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/
    namespace meta href=urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:me...
    namespace presentation href=urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:pr...
    namespace ooo href=http://openoffice.org/2004/office
    namespace smil href=urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:sm...
    namespace anim href=urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:an...
    ATTRIBUTE version
      TEXT
        content=1.0
xsltProcessOneNode: applying template '/' for /
xsltApplySequenceConstructor: copy node Presentation
call-template: name getAuthor
applying xsl:template 'getAuthor'
xsltValueOf: select $metaDoc/office:document-meta/office:meta/dc:creator
Lookup variable 'metaDoc'
found variable 'metaDoc'
XPath error : Invalid type
[...]

Obviously the real problem is caused by the "Invalid Type Error".

Could it be a concatenation problem in the following statement:
select="$metaDoc/office:document-meta/office:meta/dc:creator"
If so, why should I do?

Thanks
