Question

this program follow:
declare
p xmlparser.Parser;
xmlbuf varchar2(512);
xmlpat varchar2(512);
xmldoc xmldom.DOMDocument;
xmldocnode xmldom.domnode;
n xmldom.domnode;
begin
xmlbuf:='<emps><emp>odp</emp></emps>';
xmlpat := 'emps/emp/test()';
p:=xmlparser.newParser;
xmlparser.parseBuffer(p,xmlbuf);
xmldoc:=xmlparser.getDocument(p);
xmldocnode :=xmldom.makeNode(xmldoc);
n:=xslprocessor.selectSingleNode(xmldocnode,xmlpat);
--dbms_output.put_line('value of first selected node is:ok');
exception
when others then
raise;
end testxml;

Answer 1

Steve,
Yes it helps. I was able to finally figure this much out, however, in order to get the quotes to get handled right, I had to declare the xsl inline and I had to change (there quite a few, this just being an example) the following line from
<xsl:when test="normalize-space(string(sub_container_settings/initial_investment)) = ''">10000</xsl:when>
to
<xsl:when test="normalize-space(string(sub_container_settings/initial_investment)) = ''''">10000</xsl:when>
This works, but I would prefer to store the xsl in a CLOB. Neither of these work when I get the document from the clob and call the xmldom.parseClob procedure. The parser fails with an error that the document is not valid.
Do you have any idea on how to handle the single quotes in this circumstance.
