Dear Tclers, I am working on creating a Tcl extension to James Clark's XT XSL processor, using TclBlend. This seems to boil down to being able to access the Tcl interpreter via a static public class. The trouble is, there doesn't appear to be a static class that refers to the main Tcl interpreter in Java. However, I notice in the source code (yes, I UTSL'd) that an Interp object is created to wrap around the pointer to the C Tcl_Interp structure and that gets squirreled away in a variable of the Interp class. I figure that all I need is a static class that returns that object. Perhaps an example would illustrate what I'm trying to do. Here is a XSL stylesheet. XT provides a mechanism to callback into a public static Java class by referring to that class using a namespace that refers to a UIR prefixed by "http://www.jclark.com/xt/java/". In an XSL template you then invoke a method of that class by referring to the XML namespace. <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0" xmlns:tcl="http://www.jclark.com/xt/java/tcl.lang.Interp" <!-- declare tcl namespace --> xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" result-ns=""> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <xsl:if test="function-available('tcl:eval')"> <!-- use the tcl namespace --> <p><xsl:value-of select='tcl:eval("clock format [clock seconds]")'/></p> </xsl:if> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> This doesn't work because tcl.lang.Interp is not a static class. If there were a public static class, say tcl.lang.Interp.getInterp, that just referred to the main interpreter then my example would be: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0" xmlns:tcl="http://www.jclark.com/xt/java/tcl.lang.Interp.getInterp" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" result-ns=""> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <xsl:if test="function-available('tcl:eval')"> <p><xsl:value-of select='tcl:eval("clock format [clock seconds]")'/></p> <p><xsl:value-of select='tcl:eval('set a "XSL Rules")'/></p> <p><xsl:value-of select='tcl:getVar('a")'/></p> </xsl:if> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> I think that would work. Any chance of having that public static class added to TclBlend?
