Q: my mistake or theirs?

[Malcolm Dew-Jones]

Some literal text in my style sheet is not being output, I'm not sure why.
I'm using the Oracle xml routines.
declare
xmlclob varchar2(4000);
xslclob varchar2(4000);
the_xml XMLType;
the_xsl XMLType;
the_doc XMLType;
begin

xmlclob := '<top><w>this_one</w><w>that_one</w></top>';

xslclob :=
'<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="w">
<xsl:copy>
BEFORE
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
AFTER
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy><xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/></xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>';

the_xml := XMLType.createXML(xmlclob);
the_xsl := XMLType.createXML(xslclob);
the_doc := the_xml.transform(the_xsl);
:docclob := the_doc.getCLOBval();
end;
/
print docclob

<top>
<w>this_one
AFTER
</w>
<w>that_one
AFTER
</w>
</top>
Why is the word BEFORE not included in the output?

Feedback appreciated.
Thanks.

I don't see a problem with your stylesheet so you might want to raise
the issue on an Oracle support forum or mailing list.
