That was my try (it's a fragment):
<xsl:variable name="parent_comp"> <!-- I wanted to get a node set in
variable -->
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$comp_id=''"> <!-- the node set depends on a condition
-->
<xsl:value-of select="component[@class=$comp_class and not(@id)]"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="component[@class=$comp_class and @id=$comp_id]"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
then i could use variable $parent_comp just as node set here and in other
places in stylesheet:
<xsl:apply-templates mode="extract_property" select="$parent_comp">
If <xsl:value-of select"..."/> always get text() as result, are there any
solutions???
thanks for advise
