Title: Calling an XSP generated class from XSLT

Hi Corin

 

I've never done this, but I think you may find it a bit tricky. Best of luck though! What does the XSP do?

 

If you still have problems you might be better to use standard Cocoon-pipeline techniques to integrate rather than XSLT-extensions. For instance, your XSLT could output cinclude or xinclude elements referring to your generator, and then the next stage in the pipeline could perform the inclusion, thereby calling your generator.

 

Cheers

PS good to see another NZer on the list!

Subject: Calling an XSP generated class from XSLT

Hi All,

I have an interesting request for everyone to consider: I need invoke an XSP class from within an XSLT document (via use of the Xalan java extension functionality.)  I'd ideally like to invoke this as a generator, so I can make use of the pooling / caching capability of the XSP (which has been turned into a generator.)  Does anyone have any ideas about how to do it?  I've often called Java classes from within XSP, but making a direct reference to this class is not working.  The class appears to be instantiated, but I'm not sure how to go about getting the output of the generator.

I guess I need to serialise it internally somehow…..

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Corin
