Handling of @href on a <glossarylist>

[jelovirt]

Converted from SourceForge issue 3504470, submitted by @raducoravu

The DITA 1.2 specification for <glossarylist> states that it could have an @href attribute (and that so could <toc>).

So why doesn't a construct like this in a bookmap work?

    <booklists>
        <glossarylist href="m_eur_glossary.ditamap" format="ditamap">
        </glossarylist> 
    </booklists>

Such a construct produces a fail like:

[java] [PDFX005F][FATAL]: Topic reference (href : #unique_28) not found. Reference may be incorrect. Please correct your ditamap or bookmap file.The location of this problem was at (File = D:\projects\eXml\samples\dita\it-book\m_eur_glossary.ditamap, Element = topicref:1)

Looking in the "topicmergeImpl.xsl" it seems to me that all attributes of are ignored:

<xsl:template match="*[contains(@class,' bookmap/glossarylist ')]" priority="2" mode="build-tree">
    <ot-placeholder:glossarylist id="{generate-id()}">
        <xsl:apply-templates mode="build-tree"/>
    </ot-placeholder:glossarylist>
</xsl:template>

The match for <toc> is more interesting, it actually matches any <toc> without an @href:

<xsl:template match="*[contains(@class,' bookmap/toc ')][not(@href)]" priority="2" mode="build-tree">

Maybe the same thing could be done for <glossarylist>. Maybe.

hi, can you give a case base on your description? I can't reproduce the isssue using 1.6.M02

I attached a sample DITA project, in DITA OT 1.5.4 the error when publishing to PDF is:

[java] [PDFX005F][FATAL]: Topic reference (href : #unique_1) not found. Reference may be incorrect. Please correct your ditamap or bookmap file.The location of this problem was at (File = C:\Users\radu_coravu\Desktop\testGlossentry\glossmap.ditamap, Element = topicref:1)

I'm using DITA OT 1.6.1 and the problem still remains, one of our clients reported it again.
The workaround is to make the reference in the DITA Map something like:

      <glossarylist>
            <topicref  href="glossary.ditamap" format="ditamap"></topicref>
        </glossarylist>
