XSLT validation error javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: - xslt

i'm having this error when i tried to validate my XSLT
javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException:
A node test that matches either NCName:* or QName was expected.

You are using backslash (\) as your XPath separator (i.e. <xsl:value-of select="\#List_Type" />), which is incorrect. It should be a forward slash (/)

To assign dynamic URL's

I am new to XSLT Language, I am trying to write code that assigns dynamic URL's to Photo field in my list. My list contains FirstName, LastName and Photo fields of all employees and Photos are in a folder ("file://folder/subfolder/LastName, FirstName.jpg). Based on FirstName and LastName appropriate photo should be dynamically added to Photo Field.
Code I tried:
<xsl:template match="udt:Photo">
<xsl:for-each select="dnnGridItem">
<xsl:value-of select="udt:LastName" />
<xsl:value-of select="udt:FirstName" />
</xsl:for-each>
<img border="0" alt="delete">
<xsl:attribute name="src">
<xsl:text>file://folder/subfolder</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="file://foilder/subfoilder/?{LastName}, {FirstName}.jpg" />
<xsl:text>.jpg</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
</img>
</xsl:template>
Can any one help me with XSL code.

As you did not provide any input data I can suggest my example.
In my case required images are in path D:/images as below:
So to add images to HTML I am using next XSL file (photo.xsl) as below:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" />
<xsl:template match="/Photo">
<xsl:variable name="img.path" select="'file:///D:/images/'"/>
<html>
<body>
<xsl:for-each select="dnnGridItem">
<xsl:variable name="img.name" select="concat(LastName, ', ', FirstName)"/>
<h2>
<xsl:value-of select="$img.name"/>
</h2>
<img border="0" alt="delete">
<xsl:attribute name="src">
<xsl:value-of select="concat($img.path, $img.name, '.jpg')"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</img>
<br/>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Then to take LastName and FirstName dynamically add <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="photo.xsl"?> to input XML file (input.xml) as below:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="photo.xsl"?>
<Photo>
<dnnGridItem>
<FirstName>John</FirstName>
<LastName>Smith</LastName>
</dnnGridItem>
<dnnGridItem>
<FirstName>Kate</FirstName>
<LastName>Johnson</LastName>
</dnnGridItem>
</Photo>
Result:
Transformed result:
<html>
<body>
<h2>Smith, John</h2>
<img border="0" alt="delete" src="file:///D:/images/Smith, John.jpg"><br>
<h2>Johnson, Kate</h2>
<img border="0" alt="delete" src="file:///D:/images/Johnson, Kate.jpg"><br>
</body>
</html>
Result when open XML(input.xml) file in browser:
NOTE! input.xml - in same folder with photo.xsl.
Hope it will help with your case.

Here is a working demo
please let me know where Am I going wrong and how can I fix this.
Thanks

Your stylesheet declares:
xpath-default-namespace="http://foo.bar.com/ns"
The footnote in your XML is in no namespace, therefore the test in:
<xsl:if test="//footnote">
returns false.

using XSLT to display image series with captions in XHTML

I'm trying to display a series of images each with its own caption using XSLT. I've coded the images and the captions by nesting <img> and then <figcaption> within but the resultant html does not display as intended (the captions are not lining up with corresponding images). Is there a way to nest <xsl: for-each> for the captions within the images? Here's the XSLT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
version="2.0">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="letter">
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#wrapper {min-height: 100%;}
#figcaption {
text-align: left;
}
#main {
padding-top: 15px;;
width: 1200px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="images">
<figure>
<xsl:if test="image">
<xsl:for-each select="image/#xlink:href">
<img>
<xsl:attribute name="src">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:attribute>
</img>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="image/#label">
<xsl:for-each select="image/#label">
<figcaption><xsl:value-of select="."/></figcaption>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:if>
</figure>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Here's the corresponding XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="XSLT.xsl"?>
<letter xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<image label="page 1" xlink:href="http://tinyurl.com/nu7zmhc"/>
<image label="page 2" xlink:href="http://tinyurl.com/pysyztr"/>
<title>Letter from Shawn Schuyler</title>
<date>1963-06-30</date>
<language>English</language>
<creator>
<firstName>William</firstName>
<lastName>Schultz</lastName>
<street>Unites States Disciplinary Barracks</street>
<city>Fort Leavenworth</city>
<state abbr="KS">Kansas</state>
</creator>
</letter>
My desired output in html is basically this for each image:
<figure>
<img src='image.jpg'/>
<figcaption>Caption</figcaption>
</figure>

Or simply:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
exclude-result-prefixes="xlink">
<xsl:template match="/letter">
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#wrapper {min-height: 100%;}
#figcaption {
text-align: left;
}
#main {
padding-top: 15px;;
width: 1200px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="images">
<xsl:for-each select="image">
<figure>
<img src='{#xlink:href}'/>
<figcaption>
<xsl:value-of select="#label"/>
</figcaption>
</figure>
</xsl:for-each>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Note:
There's nothing wrong with using xsl:for-each, especially in a
simple case like this;
There is something wrong with using xsl:element when you can use a literal result element. And while XSLT is naturally verbose, using the attribute value template can reduce the code (quite significanltly, as you can see in this case).

Try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
version="2.0">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="letter">
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#wrapper {min-height: 100%;}
#figcaption {
text-align: left;
}
#main {
padding-top: 15px;;
width: 1200px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="images">
<xsl:apply-templates select="./image"></xsl:apply-templates>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="letter/image">
<xsl:element name="figure">
<xsl:element name="img">
<xsl:attribute name="src">
<xsl:value-of select="./#xlink:href"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:apply-templates select="./#label"></xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="letter/image/#label">
<xsl:element name="figcaption">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
xsl:apply-templates says where anything matching the pattern specified in select should be put (with the dot showing the current element's context).
xsl:template is matched against the source document based on the path given in match. Any hits are processed in parallel, then later stitched together based on where the apply-templates elements indicate.
NB: depending on your XSLT engine having output="html" may have different effects on your img element. In HTML5 the img element is defined as not requiring a close tag (or being self-closing), so the engine won't close that tag. Arguments about whether that inconsistency is a good choice or not can be found throughout the net.
Ref: Are (non-void) self-closing tags valid in HTML5?
A good article on this alternate approach to for-each can be found here: http://gregbee.ch/blog/using-xsl-for-each-is-almost-always-wrong
You'll find with XLST that once the concept of a template clicks your code will become way shorter are simpler to maintain.

Build a tree from a XML file using XSLT?

Being a XML file, I know to generate some output by the XSL. But I need to build a navigation tree either to hidden the contents that I don't have to look at or show those I want to. Tree that I am looking for should look like this one:
+VIEW1
+VIEW2
if hitting something like '+' somewhere, for instance on VIEW2 , we should get the content of VIEW2 like this one:
+VIEW1
-VIEW2
yy NO
aa YES
zz NO
tt NO
Here's a part of my XML file and "view.xsl" which i wrote. I also tried to modify some examples from the stackoverflow but i didn't find how to get right solution.
view.xsl

Thanks for any help

This works (I build a table with tr and td elements but I assume you can enhance from here).

handling the data in the nested tags and grouping them in xslt

I need some clarification on XSLT how to do the following in XSLT.
I have the source file as this.
<Data>
<additem>
<choice>desc</choice>
<sectiontext>
<a title="google" href="http://google.com" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<strong>Sample Text</strong>
<ul>
<li><em>aa</em></li>
<li><em>bb</em></li>
<li><em>cc</em></li>
</ul>
</a>
</sectiontext>
</additem>
<additem>
<choice>image</choice>
<files>
<a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" title="image location" href="xyz:12-2022">
<img alt="No Image" title="No Image" xlink:href="some image path" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"></img>
</a>
</files>
</additem>
<additem>
<choice>Paragraph</choice>
<sectiontext>
<a title="google" href="http://google.com" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<strong>Sample Text</strong>
<ul>
<li><em>aa</em></li>
<li><em>bb</em></li>
<li><em>cc</em></li>
</ul>
</a>
hello alll
</sectiontext>
</additem>
</Data>
Output:
<Information>
<Section>
<text>
<strong>Sample Text</strong>
<ul>
<li><em>aa</em></li>
<li><em>bb</em></li>
<li><em>cc</em></li>
</ul>
</text>
<link external="http://google.com" title="google"></link>
</Section>
<picture>
<image src="some image path" altText="No Image">
<link local="xyz:12-2022" title="image location"></link>
</image>
</picture>
<Body>
<text>
<hyperlink>
<text>
<strong>Sample Text</strong>
<ul>
<li><em>aa</em></li>
<li><em>bb</em></li>
<li><em>cc</em></li>
</ul>
</text>
<link external="http://google.com" title="google"></link>
</hyperlink>
hello alll
</text>
</Body>
</Information>
Rules:
1.Depending on the choice in addItem/choice, we need to create the tag.
choice -- Desc
desc -- Section
image -- picture
Paragraph----Body
2.Handling tag
Currently tag is wrapping for some other tag.
A.If any element has only <a> in it. For example in the source,
Code in the source:
<sectiontext>
<a title="google" href="http://google.com" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<strong>Sample Text</strong>
<ul>
<li><em>aa</em></li>
<li><em>bb</em></li>
<li><em>cc</em></li>
</ul>
</a>
</sectiontext>
Need to seperate that tag and create a tag
i. if the "href" in attribute in <a> tag starts with "xyz:" need to add it as "local" attribute in <link> element
ii. If the "href" in the attribute <a> tag starts with "http" need to add it as "external" attribute in <link> element.
ii. "title" attribute in <a> tag remains same in <link>
B.if any element has any other element other than <a> tag.
Code in the source:
<sectiontext>
<a title="google" href="http://google.com" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<strong>Sample Text</strong>
<ul>
<li><em>aa</em></li>
<li><em>bb</em></li>
<li><em>cc</em></li>
</ul>
</a>
hello alll
</sectiontext>
I need to get the out put as
<text>
<hyperlink>
<text>
<strong>Sample Text</strong>
<ul>
<li><em>aa</em></li>
<li><em>bb</em></li>
<li><em>cc</em></li>
</ul>
</text>
<link external="http://google.com" title="google"></link>
</hyperlink>
hello alll
</text>
Rules:
i. In the all the text inside the <a> tag have to come under the <inlinelink> tag as shown above.
Can any one help how it can be done.
Thank you.

Explanation
Each of your rules was taken one by one and used to build a template, starting with the identification of the match condition.
