Help !!! 🙂

Maybe someone has seen something like this to give us help. We havesome ACL code called from the FOSI, it works when we compose from the Editor and from PE interactive. It does not work when the same file is requestedwith the servlet.

This makes no sense to us, does it make sense to anybody else?

    Hi Ellen-



    Some ACL functions behave differently in windowless mode (as in a
    servlet request) from interactive mode (where there's a window for the
    document). What is your ACL trying to do?

    Clay,

    Our ACL code is trying to delete empty nodes - using XPATH
    example: unorederedlist[not(node())]
    this XPATH is not matching

    Is there a way we can test this faster in a "windowless" mode without using the servlet?

    Ellen (Thanks for the quick answer, we are working late trying to figure this out!)

    Hi Ellen-



    Hmm. I can't think of a reason for that to fail, unless it's something
    to do with the way it's navigating the document tree. (There are some
    tricks to getting it to recognize change tracking markup, for example,
    in terminal or windowless mode.)



    Can you include the entire function code? It might help to see the XPath
    in context. It would help to know the e-i-c that calls the function.



    (BTW, in your example the element name is misspelled, but I assume that
    was a typo in your message rather than an error in your code. But if you
    pasted directly from your code, fix the spelling of "unorderedlist" in
    your code and try it again. 🙂

    Clay,

    Yes I am the Queen of typos! 🙂

    We have decided to go down the path of traversing the document to find the empty nodes with oid_empty(o). We foundan example in the forum that we are modifying.

    Here is our XPATH code:

    $noChildren = xpath_nodeset(emptyNodes, "//caution[(not(node()))] | //definitionlist[(not(node()))] | //example[(not(node()))] | //examplelist[(not(node()))] | //inform[(not(node()))] | //listitem[(not(node()))] | //note[(not(node()))] | //notelist[(not(node()))] | //orderedlist[(not(node()))] | //unorderedlist[(not(node()))] | //warning[(not(node()))]");


    for (i = 1; i <= noChildren.length; i++) {     oid_delete(emptyNodes[i]);}

    Thanks again,

    Ellen

    Hi Ellen-



    Sorry, I was pretty busy this week, as you can imagine (missed seeing
    you at PTC/USER, btw). As for your question, you still didn't say how or
    where this is code is invoked. Is it invoked via FOSI #SYSTEM-FUNC, or
    as part of a custom publishing script, or some other method? If it's
    called from a #SYSTEM-FUNC, which e-i-c is it called from?
