Scott,
We use Xalan heavily to produce XML streams which is non presentation
oriented. I have also been hacking away on a set of XSL style sheets to
reformat XMI files that produce a subset of the original XML that is use to
pass into Fop to produce PDF output. i.e. A Use Case document.
Is any of this useful ??
Also, besides some updated documentation, is there anything that you would
like to see completed in the SQL extension code. We finished integrating the
new version of Xalan (with the SQL Extensions) into our product. We also
utilized streaming mode and preliminary tests shows about a 10-15% speed
increase for simple query modes. I was actually surprised in the increase.
There are few items I am looking into adding but have not assigned a time
frame
to them as of yet.
1) Adding a closeWithCopy() method to reduce the number of open connections.
2) As per M. Kay's book create a set of examples that show summing & grouping
with streaming mode enabled.
3) To do grouping, you need to have access to at least the previous sibling.
To do this
I plan to add a method to define the number of row-set nodes to store.
Right now
with streaming mode disabled, it is as large as the query and with
streaming mode
it is set to one.
