Validation Exception

[anmarie63]

I am getting the following validation error: fo:table is missing child elements. Required Content Model: (marker*,table-column*,table-header?,table-footer?,table-body+.All of these elements are defined in my XSL sheet. Does anyone have an idea of what this error means?

<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"><fo:table table-layout...>   <fo:table-column "column info..."/>   				<fo:table-header>..</fo:table-header>   <xsl:choose>      <xsl:when test="(@id='Dataserver') and (@class='war') and (@property='public')">      <fo:table-body>      <xsl:variable name="varNormalBGColor">rgb(255,255,255)</xsl:variable>      <xsl:variable name="varAccentBGColor">rgb(230,230,230)</xsl:variable>         <fo:table-row>         .         .         </fo:table-row>      </fo:table-body>      </xsl:when>      <xsl:otherwise>         <xsl:if test="@method='none'">	There are no attributes          </xsl:if>      </xsl:otherwise>      </xsl:choose>			      </fo:table></fo:flow>

That is difficult to solve with only a snippet of the XSLT shown. Consider to post minimal but complete XML input and XSLT stylesheet samples that allow us to reproduce the problem. Of course you also need to tell us exactly which tool you have used that gives you that error message.The only potential issue I see in your snippet is that you conditionally create the fo:table-body element. That way, depending on your input, no fo:table-body element might be created.

The tool I am using is Eclipse. Here are my XML and XSL docs:XML

XSL. I moved the choose statement to just before the <fo:table> statement but I still got the error msg.
