Hi there,
I have some XML data that looks like:
...
<Entry>
<Date>2001-10-20</Date>
<Count>32</Count>
</Entry>
<Entry>
<Date>2001-10-21</Date>
<Count>78</Count>
</Entry>
<Entry>
<Date>2001-10-22</Date>
<Count>43</Count>
</Entry>
<Entry>
<Date>2001-10-23</Date>
<Count>3</Count>
</Entry>
...I've been trying to come up with an extension function that will sum all the counts over a certain date range.
My call looks something like:
<xsl:value-of select="my-ext:sumOverDays(../*, '--10-21', 1, 'Count', 'Date')"/>
My first parameter to the function passes in a NodeList with all the "Entry" nodes in it. Each "Entry" node should have 2 child nodes, "Date" and "Count". The problem is that if I say:
node_list.item(i).getChildNodes();
I get a "Not Supported Exception" because the implementation of the Node is a DTMNodeProxy and the method is defined as:
public final NodeList getChildNodes()
{
throw new DTMDOMException(DOMException.NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR);
}So, my question is, how do I get a sum over a range of dates like this? Because my range of values is a range of dates, I can't come up with an XPath statement that returns that set of nodes and passes it to the extension function.
Can anyone enlighten me?
Ben
