Hi, I had a similar question a week ago. The replys were really helpful and lead to the following code. Thanks a lot. But I do have further problems without any idea how to solve them or if it is even possible with cocoon. Therefore, I am looking for some suggestions how to proceed. I have the files below whereas examples.xsp is my main file. The tag <vormsexample:link> is used to execute a request to a database returning the URI (to a file) for the passed identifier. In this case, the database request would return bibliography.xml (a little bit simplified for this mail but basically we get an URI which is valid and usable by cocoon). Within the xml-file another tag <vormsexample:link> has to be resolved to an URI which is NOT working in this example. For my understanding, when I do use the document(.) function (see the file example.xsl), the referred xml file is included and be parsed as a part of the original file.
My problems are 1) The bibliography.xml file is included and parsed (xsl:template match="bibliography" in author.xsl is found and executed) but the match="vormsexample:link" for the tag <bibauthor> does not work (i.e. the xsl:template match="vormsexample:link" in example.xsl is not called again). 2) Assuming xsl:template match="vormsexample:link" in example.xsl would be called, I have to assure that the xsp:expr is resolved as before inserting further files in a recursive loop. We use Cocoon 2.0.1 and Tomcat 4.0.2. We have to implement a solution during the next week, therefore I would appreciate your suggestions. If you have further questions what we are trying to do, please let me know so I can give further explainations Thanks a lot, Torsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We havbe the following files: ******************************************************** ******************* examples.xsp ******************** ******************************************************** <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <xsp:page language="java" xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp" xmlns:vormsexample="http://www.vorms.org/xsl" > <vormsexample:header/> <page> <vormsexample:link identifier="LO_VORMS_TP3_BIBLIOGRAPHY_SMITH01_1_1"/> </page> </xsp:page> ******************************************************** ******************* bibliography.xml ***************** ******************************************************** <bibliography> <bibauthor> <vormsexample:link identifier="LO_VORMS_TP3_AUTHOR_JOHNSMITH_1_1"/> </bibauthor> </bibliography> ******************************************************** ******************* author.xml *********************** ******************************************************** <author> <person role ="male"> <firstname>John</firstname> <othername></othername> <surname>Smith</surname> </person> </author> ******************************************************** ******************* example.xsl ***************** ******************************************************** <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp" xmlns:vormsexample="http://www.vorms.org/xsl" > <xsl:include href="author.xsl"/> <xsl:template match="vormsexample:header"> <xsp:structure> <xsp:include>DBInterface</xsp:include> </xsp:structure> <!-- Insert code to the xsl-file to read the uri of the file containing the data corresponding to the passed identifier --> <xsp:logic> public synchronized String getURI(String identifier) { DBInterface dbinterface = new DBInterface(); dbinterface.establishConnection("jdbc:mysql://134.169.75.183/vorms","vorms","vorms"); String msg = "file://" + dbinterface.getURIForLM(identifier); return msg; } </xsp:logic> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="page"> <page> <xsl:apply-templates/> </page> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="vormsexample:link"> <toInsert> <xsp:expr>getURI("<xsl:value-of select="@identifier"/>")</xsp:expr> </toInsert> <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="toInsert"> <xsl:apply-templates select="document(.)" /> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="@*|node()" priority="-1"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> ******************************************************** ******************* author.xsl ************************ ******************************************************** <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:vormsexample="http://www.vorms.org/xsl"> <xsl:template match="bibliography"> <xsl:for-each select="bibauthor"> <xsl:apply-templates select="vormsexample:link"/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="author"> author </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> -- __ __ _ OO\| O__ O\__/O / O ///// O O\ / O O | -----.oOOo------oOOo.--------------------------------- Torsten Reiners Tel:++49-531-3913214 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax:++49-531-3918144 http://server3.winforms.phil.tu-bs.de/~treiners TU Braunschweig Abteilung Allgemeine Betriebswirtschaftslehre, Wirtschaftsinformatik und Informationsmanagement Abt-Jerusalem-Str.7 38106 Braunschweig, Germany Other EMails: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
