Hi, What is the most (run-time) efficient mechanism for binding a Java extension function to Xalan?
Specifically, I have a Java class that performs a complex analysis of a document and prepares a number of lists of elements from within the document. Later in the XSL stylesheet, these lists are used as follows: <xsl:apply-templates select="Helper:getRefs($Helper, $key)" mode="..." /> Measuring the execution time of the call to the extension function reveals that the average round-trip time (Xalan->extension-function->Xalan) time is about 1.2 mSec. But measuring the time spent within the Java function itself is only about 0.02 mSec. So, it seems that a large amount of time is spent in the actual binding of the Java extension function into the Xalan. The Helper namespace it bound to a Java class as follows: xmlns:Helper = "xalan://com.mysmarttags.http.KeywordMapHelper" Can anyone suggest an alternate binding mechanism that would be more efficient?
