AW: SQL RE: 2 (should be) easy questions
hi richard, well, what can I say... the xsl not only looks complicated, it looks like a mess ;-) you should really, really (really ;-) read up on the technologies you're trying to use. 1. what do you need the DTD for? 2. why are you trying to handle elements which are supposed to be handled by the sql transformer (which in this case couldn't even work because you're not matching the correspondig namespace)? 3. in which sequence are transformations applied? (sql transformer -> your stylesheet, or vice versa?) just a guess; starting from your database.xml you want to have an sql query executed and the query results formatted by your database.xsl. then please do it like that. generate (database.xml) -> transform (sql) -> transform (database.xsl) -> serialize (html?) you're not even trying to handle the query results (in database.xml I only see a query defined, but the results are handled nowhere). you seem to be assuming the results are coming from somewhere and are trying to handle them within your stylesheet. please read the accompanying docs; it would save you and those trying to help you time and struggles. just to get you started; to handle the results you would insert appropriate statements within the element to generate e.g. elements which contain the data you want to transform/style/serialize; example (top off my head, based on esql logicsheet); ... SELECT artistbandname, generalmusictitle FROM artistband ... then after the sql transformer step the corresponding data will be available in the SAX event stream which you can then handle from within your stylesheet. ok, let's get to the stylesheet: > > > xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" > xmlns:sql="http://apache.org/cocoon/SQL/2.0"> > > > > > > soundpool the element should go into the element. > what is this supposed to do? for each document root? there's only one document root. > > > > is that if test on the document root? why aren't you just creating the table body via ? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > nesting mess, huh? ;-) > > > > again, why not ? here you would handle the data produced by the sql transformer step. my last advice; read the docs, please. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht-Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Im Auftrag von Richard CunliffeGesendet: Mittwoch, 12.

Hello again, do you know the book "Cocoon: Building XML Applications" form Carsten Ziegeler & Matthew Langham [ISBN of the book (0735712352)]? Here is an example as attachment (hope that is allright with you, Carsten&Matthew) about SQL. King regards Thorsten -Ursprüngliche Nachricht-Von: Scherler, Thorsten Gesendet: Mittwoch, 12.

I am using the SPY as well. Ok, correct me if I am wrong! I aspect your pipeline looks like that (because I guess you are using cocoon to transform): Is that right? If not -> it should look like that! Explanation: 1) 2) 3) 1) take the database.xml 2) excecute the SQL Statement <- that will produce XML 3) your transformation. BASED on everything before! Try the following: then you see what you have to transform! See the source code (browser right click) and copy it to the Spy. from there you can copy the XPath. ...and then you *just* have to go on!

Hello Richard, your xsl is quite complex! To begin with, I prefer to nest my templates! So instead of: soundpool.. I would do it like this: soundpool ... Besides that you have a within a . That will result in an overflow (anybody correct me if I am wrong!). It will be called over and over again. What are you trying to do with, anyway: Ok, I got some results to come out, but as soon as add more to the XSL style sheet nothing appears from the database. -> What do you mean? -Ursprüngliche Nachricht-Von: Richard Cunliffe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Gesendet: Mittwoch, 12.

I’m not sure if this cocoon or my inability to do XSL, but I have my web page images in an images folder, under the root directory soundpool. Everything was looking good until I checked the site in netscape, when I found the images were not loading. I consequently checked on other on other computers, and they were not working there either. Do I need to included something in my sitemap to tell cocoon where the images are. If this is not the case, could someone please tell me how to get them to work. The rest of my XML is being parsed correctly. Below is an example in my style sheet referencing an image: <img src="C:\tomcat\webapps\cocoon\soundpool\images\uktop10.gif"/> - This is what XML Spy produced in its XSLT designer, I have also tried <img src="images\uktop10.gif"/> – this also doesn’t work 2. My next question is a DTD question I have SQL statements in my XML code to query a MySQL database, and I now want to display the results, but how do I define this SQL query in my DTD?? I have attached a XML file. Richard.
