Xsl variable error not explained in earlier thread

Question

Steve,
Thank you so much for your response to my earlier thread, it is difficult to focus on what I am supposed to be doing today, with all the sad news from the east coast.
Re-visiting this variable issue one more time to try understand what is going wrong with this file.
Below is a shortened version of the file plus the output from parsing it with xalan, saxon and oracle's two latest versions. As you see it parses fine with xalan and saxon but errors out with oracle's latest version. Should this be looked at again perhaps?

Answer 1

Yeah!!! It works. Turned out to be a combination of DrKlap's and Martisan's suggestions -- had to change var frame's declaration from JFrame to MyFrame:
    MyFrame frame;Next, created the external class -- but again changed JFrame references to MyFrame:
public class ShowOnExit extends WindowAdapter {
//   JFrame aFrame;
   MyFrame aFrame;
   public ShowOnExit(MyFrame f) {
      aFrame = f;
   public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
      System.out.println("Why me???" + aFrame.textArea.getText()); // aFrame here not frame !!!
}This worked. So looks like even though the original code added a WindowListener to 'frame', the listener didn't couldn't access frame's methods unless it was explicitly passed in as a parameter. Let me know if that's wrong.
Thanks again, all.
