Yes, that's it.

Another option could be to use the XSLT translate() function if you only
need to change all the '/' into '.' in your date string:

.

This way you can do it in XSLT.

Only a comment:

Using


 


is mostly not the optimum. It will create a Result Tree Fragment, where
it is not needed. Using



is shorter and is of a "normal" data type like node set, string or
number. While working with strings it's only a question of conversions
the processor has to do. But when working with node sets it can be
really a problem:


 


You can't operate on $any like on a node set. Only string operatrions
are allowed. So for example "$any/path/to/a/node" is not possible.

Another problem:




   


  ==> false
 ==> true

You can't test that simply on the emptyness of a RTF, because it returns
always true. You must explicitely convert it into a string via
test="string($emptyRTF)".

So in general it's better to avoid RTFs.

AW: date translation

[Scherler, Thorsten]

Hello Konstantin,

I want to do the following:

I produce reports from a database. 
e.g.

select * from info_bericht  where Info_datum = ##   AND country =''


This is be done from a html form.
e.g.



France
Italy
Netherland
Swiss






The actual date of the   has to be in the format e.g. 01/29/2003, but we 
are a company in Germany were we use this date format: 29.01.2003.

So I would like to "translate" the 29.01.2003 into 01/29/2003 before I put it in the 
.

SimpleDateFormat.parse() will do the job? I will try!
 

   // perform your date translation using any method you like, e.g.
SimpleDateFormat.parse(), etc.


Thanks a million!

Please tell us what is the final target of your date translation and we'll
try to advice something.
In XSP you do it just the same way as in pure Java:

   // perform your date translation using any method you like, e.g.
SimpleDateFormat.parse(), etc.
