Re: Selecting distinct values from different node in XPATH 1.0

Hi Chris,
            I am new to XSLT programming. Thanks for your reference. I did
as like you said. But i get some exception like this
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException when i traverse loop the
variable i stored the distinct values. So can you suggest me if i did
anything wrong. But when i created the variable and not referred anywhere
the variable it is not causing the problem. This exception is thrown when i
am using the variable to loop through using xsl:for-each. Can you help me
how to resolve this kind of issue.

Thanks in Advance,
npselvan
