living without the document() function?
I have been having problems with caching and the XSLT document function, and have read that the document function is a 'bad thing'(tm) anyway. Generally I have been using XInclude for this purpose, but I also allow my pages to refer to a site template that they should be rendered within, and I use the document function within XSLT to allow the template to be loaded first, and then slot parts of the original page back in as needed. This is a much happier arrangement then spliting the template page into segments, and calling the bits from each page. Perhaps somebody with experience in this area could say if there is another way of doing this without XSLT? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Document function
Hello Ali, what Cocoon version do you use - or if you know, do you use XSLTC or Xalan? There seems to be a bug for top level xsl:variable and document() when using XSLTC: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20381. XSLTC is the default processor in 2.1, while it is Xalan in 2.0. You can switch between both.

requests with document function
Cocoon 2.0.2/Tomcat 4.0.1/Java1.3.1_01
In an XSLT stylesheet I have the following template:
xsl:template match=foo
xsl:variable name=bar
select=document('http://www.xyz.org/bla.xml')/fasel/
xsl:variable name=hasGrmpf select=boolean($bar/grmpf)/
xsl:apply-templates select=$bar/grmpf/
...
/xsl:template
The template is called only once.
According to the server log, this results in 5 GET requests for 'bla.xml':
2 for $bar, 2 for $hasGrmpf and 1 for apply-templates.
If I change the template to
xsl:variable name=bar
select=document('http://www.xyz.org/bla.xml')/
(without root element at the end of the XPath expression), I have 4
requests.
If, additionally, I change it to
xsl:variable name=hasGrmpf select=boolean($bar)/
(without the '/grmpf'), I have 3 requests.
I would have expected to have only one request (for the document
function). Can somebody explain the five requests?

document() function calling external file twice
has anyone else experienced this problem whereby using the document()
function calls the external file twice. specifically, this happens when the
document call is used as part of an XPATH expression to match a node in the
external document.
i.e.
this calls the external doc once.
xsl:apply-templates select=document('cocoon:/file.xml') mode=doc/
whereas this calls external doc twice!
xsl:apply-templates select=document('cocoon:/file.xml')/collection
mode=doc/
any insight appreciated.
cheers,

Re: [C2b2] document() function not working?
If you are getting nothing back when you use the document() function, make sure the file you are opening with document() is valid XML. I found out the hard way that document() fails silently (at least in Cocoon 1.8.2) when the XML is bad. Try opening the XML document in IE or something like that to make sure it parses successfully. If this is still true in C2, it might make a good FAQ entry. -Christopher - Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, I'm one step further!! The problem: I looked in the wrong logfile. In the logfile for Tomcat there is written nearly the same as for Cocoon, but no errors ;-) Now I could change the link to the called XML-file. But there is still a problem: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Can not load requested doc: home at org.apache.xalan.templates.FuncDocument.warn(FuncDocument.java:448) at org.apache.xalan.templates.FuncDocument.getDoc(FuncDocument.java:385) at org.apache.xalan.templates.FuncDocument.execute(FuncDocument.java:221) at org.apache.xpath.Expression.asIterator(Expression.java:261) at org.apache.xpath.axes.FilterExprWalker.setRoot(FilterExprWalker.java:156) at org.apache.xpath.axes.WalkingIteratorSorted.reset(WalkingIteratorSorted.java:164) What does this mean?

I tested the stylesheet with all the XML-files on the commandline with Ant/Xalan and without Cocoon - it works fine. But I want to use Cocoon for doing this transformation on the fly. For the document()-function I have a question: Will the called XML-file handled by the sitemap ( - So do I need a correct matcher in it? - inclusive link-resolving? ) e.g. like a HTML-redirect for JPGs/GIFS or does it work completely without Cocoon (direct access to the XML-file)? I think that I tested all possibilities, but I had no success. I also searched the logfiles - no success. No error messages from document().

Yes, I solved the problem. I hadn't realized that the path needed to be
relative to the stylesheet (kind of a no-brainer in retrospect).

Re: Java variable inside of document() function?
Martin, first, are you trying to do this in a logicsheet or in a stylesheet? In a logicsheet, this won't work because your logicsheet exists to generate Java code. The Java code doesn't exist and hasn't been compiled and can't run yet. Only your XSL transformations are being applied. The xsl:for-each select=document([the Java variable]) can't use the value stored in the Java variable, because it doesn't exist yet. In a stylesheet, you can't do this, because you can't use XSP Java code in a stylesheet. It is too late. All XSP code has already been run, producing XML which is being processed by your stylesheet. You can, however, do this: In your XML file: ... xsp:logic !-- do something here to set your variable, e.g. -- String doc = info.xml; /xsp:logic docxsp:exprdoc/xsp:expr/doc ... then in your XSL stylesheet: xsl:variable name=thefile select=doc/ xsl:for-each select=document($thefile) ... -Christopher Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Java variable inside of document() function?
