Here are some thing I thought might make XScript a little more powerful:
- <xscript:get name="a-variable" xpath="/top//client[1]" />
Uses XPath to search the variable. [Does this require a DOM
representation?]
- <xscript:if test="xpath-expression">
</xscript:if>
Only builds the content between if the xpath-expression returns true (or
non-null?).
- <xscript:switch name="" xpath="">
<xscript:when test="constant">
</xscript:when>
<xscript:otherwise>
</xscript:otherwise>
</xscript:switch>
I mention these because I feel like the XSP taglibs are missing tags that
allow branching and decisions. If there were some, then people who don't
know Java might be able to write XSP.
I know that it seems similar to processing that can be done with a
Transformer step but it seems to me that there is no other way to do
conditional aggregation without conditionally generating either content,
<cinclude> or <xinclude> statements.
Does this sound useful to anyone else?
