Hi there, a couple of days ago I posted a question regarding the Bean Scripting Framework's (BSF) usage of Cocoon. BSF allows Java programs to invoke functions/scripts/programs written in non-Java languages and originates in an IBM alphawork project. In the past months a process has taken place to hand it over to Apache.
The problem: using BSF to add functions to XSLT works nicely with the JavaScriptEngine of BSF, but does not work yet, if using the RexxEngine (either with the open source Regina Rexx interpreter or IBM's Object Rexx, which is free for Linux, BTW). The reason: "Cocoon" uses the call()-method and supplies the name of the function (as defined in the appropriate XSLT document) and the arguments but not the source code, containing the Rexx code to be executed. Short of any other documentation, there is no way at the moment to determine the location of the source code (in this case embedded in a CDATA-section in the XSLT-file). Hence the plea for help: where is the source code stored, how can one retrieve the source-code at run-time? Any help or any hint is highly appreciated! Regards, ---rony Rony G.
