[geclipse-dev] jsdl2jdl XSLT Parsing Error

[Nicholas Loulloudes <loulloudes.n@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Today i caught a bug in the jsdl-2-jdl translator and i wanted to inform 
you about it.

During the jsdl-to-jdl translation, an empty JSDL element (withing a 
JSDL file) is not converted correctly in the JDL file.

So, for example if in your JSDL file you have:

   ...
   <jsdl:Resources/>
   ...

this will be converted in JDL as :

   ...
   Requirements = ( );
   ...

something, which will cause an exception during GLite job submission, 
since the Requirements field should contain some attributes. 

In principle, the correct JDL file should not have included the 
Requirements () field.

Currently, this problem is caught by the JSDL editor, where empty JSDL 
elements are completely deleted from the JSDL file.

Nevertheless, i wanted to bring this up mainly for anyone who might be 
creating JSDL files on the fly and not through the editor.

Best regards,

Nicholas
