While I am making requests for extensions.. ;-) Today I needed to URLEncode a string.. In the end I got an XSLT urlencode function off the web.. However it seems to me that there are some situations (such as string manipulation and math) where it is just much more sensible to drop down to Jscript.. I know I could call a webservice or use the Java processor but JScript seems convenient for simple tasks.
Two possible ideas.. 1. Msxml has a nice extension function that lets you do JScript in xslt.. Is there anything similar in the Java xslt engines used in OXF? <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" xmlns:user="user" exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl user"> <msxsl:script language="JavaScript" implements-prefix="user"> <![CDATA[ function encodeString(str_in) { return escape(str_in); } ]]> </msxsl:script> <xsl:template name="urlEncode"> <xsl:param name="text" /> <xsl:value-of select="user:encodeString(string($text))" /> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> 2. I guess the OXF way would be a JScriptProcessor though.. This example would be analagous to the xupdate processor except the transformation would be via JScript. eg. <?xml version="1.0"?> <p:processor uri="oxf/processor/jscript" xmlns:p="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/pipeline";> <p:input name="config"><![CDATA[ function encodeString(str_in) { return escape(str_in); } var xDocument = this.readInputAsDom('data'); var xText = xDocument .selectSingleNode('/string/text()'); // forget the exact syntax right now xText.value = encodeString(xText.value); ]]></p:input> <p:input name="data"> <string>some text to urlencode!</string> </p:input> <p:output name="data" id="output" /> </p:processor> Damon. _______________________________________________ oxf-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.orbeon.com/mailman/listinfo/oxf-users
