ClassCastException

Hi I have following template which throws a classcast exception. What's wrong with it?

Code:

    <xsl:template name="Xform_status">
        <xsl:param name="source"/>
        <xsl:param name="in_status"/>        
        <xsl:variable name="css_status">
            <i ref="Completed">Confirmed</i>
            <i ref="Staffed">Confirmed</i>
            <i ref="Posted">Confirmed</i>
            <i ref="Confirmed">Confirmed</i>
            <i ref="Unscheduled">Canceled</i>
                </xsl:variable>
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="$source='CSS'">
               <xsl:value-of select="$css_status[@ref=$in_status]"/>

            </xsl:when>

        </xsl:choose>        
    </xsl:template>

If I have the values in a separate file and use <xsl:value-of select="document('status.xml')/css_status/i[@ref=$in_status]"/>, it works fine.
thanks,

If the ClassCastException occurs in the code of your XSLT processor then it's a bug and should be raised on the forum appropriate to the XSLT processor you are using.

Note however that your code is wrong, the $css_status variable is a document node containing a sequence of elements, you want

$css_status/i[@ref=$in_status]
