Hello All,

I have just started using JET and I am having a problem with the default
files from the EMFT JET Transformation Project. When I run the files I
receive the error:

templates/dump.jet(2,1): <c:dump entities="true" format="true" select="/*">
Error: Error executing tag handler: java.lang.NullPointerException

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Also I read an old post about JET and XPath expressions that said not
all the XPath axes are supported. Have any more XPath expressions been
added since then, especially //. If not, can anyone suggest a good
workaround?

Cheers,
Toby

Toby:

In the future, please post messages to eclipse.modeling.m2t - I've cross
posted this response.

Please submit a bugzilla for the NPE:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=M2T& version=unspecified&component=Jet&rep_platform=PC&am p;op_sys=Windows%20XP&priority=P3&bug_severity=norma l&bug_status=NEW&bug_file_loc=http%3A%2F%2F&shor t_desc=&comment=&commentprivacy=0&keywords=& dependson=&blocked=&maketemplate=Remember%20values%2 0as%20bookmarkable%20template&form_name=enter_bug&as signed_to=m2t.jet-inbox%40eclipse.org&qa_contact=

As for the supported axes, here is the current list:

attribute:: and the @ abbreviation
child:: and its abbreviated form
descendantOrSelf:: and the // abbreviation
parent:: and its .. abbreviation
self:: and its . abbreviation

If you need more, please submit an bugzilla enhancement.

Thanks for you interest,

Paul
