Image not found to default image at Import Xml

Kasyan, I agree with you!

So this is what i did in xslt.

First I added the following namespace to the stylesheet.

xmlns:file="http://www.jclark.com/xt/java/java.io.File"

This is not supported by indesign, you have to do this with a parser. I used saxon to parse the xml.

And this is the part for the existing file lookup.

If the file exists the image is placed as a href, if it doesn't exist i put the name of the image between brackets. In this case we can see in which image doesn't exist.

<xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="file:exists(file:new(string($imagefile)))">                                          
          <xsl:element name="Articleimage">
               <xsl:attribute name="href">file://../images/<xsl:value-of select="Properties/Property[@field = 9]"/></xsl:attribute>
          </xsl:element>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
          <xsl:text>[</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="Properties/Property[@field = 9]"/><xsl:text>]</xsl:text>
      </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

I hope it helps for others.

Good luck!
