I'm using Cocoon 1.8.2, Apache 1.3, Tomcat 3.2.1, MySQL 3.23.38, Solaris
2.6.
I have created multiple tables within the DB to represent employee,
phone, pager and other objects. They are connected with what would
be foreign keys if I wasn't using MySQL. I would like to create ESQL
queries to load each type of object ( an employee query, a phone query,
etc ). The queries for objects like the phone and pager would need to
have an ID passed in. I want separate queries to keep the code cleaner,
and to make the stylesheet reusable.
The problem I'm having is this: I load the employee objects up fine,
and each employee object contains the ID ( foreign key ) for a phone
and pager object. I would like to do something like:
<xsl:call-template name="phone">
<xsl:with-param name="ID">
<esql:get-int column="PhoneID"/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
The "phone" template would then use the ID param in another SQL query
that would load the phone information.
I can not get this to work when I include both the employee and the
phone templates in one XSP. The ID param does not get a value in the
phone template. I know that values are returned ( verified by not making
a template call and just looking at what is output from the employee
template ). I can pass in a static value, and the phone query works. I
thought the problem might have something to do with the way XSP works, so
I tried moving the phone template into a second XSP, before I saw that
you can not chain XSP's...
SO, does anyone have *any* suggestions? I could do a *massive* query/join,
but that makes the code very ugly and inflexible. I could combine all my
database tables into one, but that's even worse than one huge SQL join. I
could probably get things to work with nested ESQL queries, but that is also
somewhat inflexible.
tnx
