XSLT extension function probelm

Hi, I have some problems when I tried to migrate from Xalan to Oracle XSLT engine.
I have to traverse a huge XML document, the usual XPath is rather slow so we developed a Java class that kept a reference to some of the important Nodes.
The XSL looks like
<xsl:variable name="password">
<xsl:value-of select="customJavaClass:customFunctionReturningNode()/password/@value"/>
</xsl:variable>
After the call to the static function stays a valid XPath. That worked fine with Xalan but with Oracle I get something like "unexpected EOF".
Any ideas?
null

The whole application is based on heavy usage of XSL. Tens of transformations are done just for one user. We are trying to optimize as much as possible the memory usage and the speed. Using top-level stylesheet variables is too much memoty consumption (we tried it).
I don't think the code returning the Node Object is of importance. It is not even called (I inserted debug statements). I guess the problem is while the Oracle XSL processor is analyzing the XSL.
I'll try these keys that you are suggesting. Is there any URL I can retrieve additional information and performance analysis for these keys?

ESB XSLT Extension Functions

Hi
Could anybody tell me if we can use log4j in the java class which we write for XSLT Extension Functions which will be used in ESB XSL mappings?
It is not recognizing log4j only.It is not giving any error also.
Thanks
Praveena

Thanks Kanchan.
This is talking about how to implement Extension functions.
I have done this. but my question I am not able to use log4j for debugging purpose in this java class. It is not recognising this.
We need to use logger instead of System.out.println .
Thanks

Cant resolve class on XSLT Extension

I have XSLT and I am trying to call a java method and I get
java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.xml.parser.v2.XSLExtFunctions.getClass(XSLExtFunctions.java:351)
Trying even a simple example using java.lang.xxxx gets the same error.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" exclude-result-prefixes="Int"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:Int="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/java.lang.Integer">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="x" select="99"/>

<x-hex><xsl:value-of select="Int:toHexString($x)"/></x-hex>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This is XDK 9.2.0.6
Thanks in advance.

: will print out the current date.
Our current release 2.0.2 does not support extension functions
but they will be supported in the very near future.

XSLT Mapping - user defined Extension function

Hi to all,
can somebody helps me, please?
I need an own function, that can be used by the XSL Mapper. First I have only tried the sample given in Path <BPELPM>\integration\orabpel\samples\demos\XSLMapper\ExtensionFunctions
There is a java file with the defined functions and a xml file with the definition of this function for the mapper and last but not least a jar-file with the java class.
I have copied the jar to <JDEV_HOME>\jdev\lib\ext directory and in JDeveloper I have added SampleExtensionFunctions.xml to Tools->Preferences->XSL Map -> "User Defined Extension Functions Config File" field. After a restart of JDeveloper I find 2 new functions in the "User Defined Extension Functions" component palette page when a XSL Map is open. That's fine.
But if I test the mapping I get an error: "Failed to transform source XML.
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: For extension function, could not find method org.apache.xpath.objects.XNodeSet.replaceChar([ExpressionCotext,]#STRING, #STRING)."
What is wrong?
Thanks in advance of your answer
best regard,
uno

Oracle XML support Extension function.
For example:
If we would like to import FAQDBUri.class with user-defined java functions, like TranslateDBUri(), we can write XSL file like this:
<xsl:template match="/" xmlns:dburig="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/FAQDBuri">
<xsl:variable name="urladd" select="dburig:TranslateDBUri($url)"/>

Overloaded Java methods in XSLT extensions?

Hello,
when using Java classes as XSLT extensions, is it possible to use overloaded methods at all? I get "XSL-1042: Extension function error: Overloaded method 'format'" when doing that.
I studied Steve Muench's book, pages 607-611, and came up with the following:
Declared namespaces: "Date" for java.util.Date, "DateFormat" for java.text.DateFormat.
Declared XSL variables: "now" as "Date:new()", "datefmt" as "DateFormat:getDateInstance()".
Value of "Date:toString($now)" works fine. However, value of "DateFormat:format($datefmt, $now)" causes the XSL-1042 error.
Is there any way around this?

The way around it is to create a wrapper function yourself that doesn't depend on overloading, and then exploit the overloading within your wrapper function call.

Xalan xslt extension flat file to xml...

anyone used the xsltflat 2.0 to do flat to xml transformation? it does it by using xalan extension...
the packate is com.fs.xalan.extensions.* and test.com.fs.xalan.extensions.*
anyway, it works fine when I do it from command prompt... however when I tried to do it by calling it over Tomcat, the parsing gives me following funny error:
file:///e:/test.xsl; Line 21; Column 92; javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: For extension function, could not find method java.io.FileInputStream.streamIterator([ExpressionContext,] #STRING).
here is the seciton of the xsl file:

          </Employees>
     </xsl:template>
i know for sure the xsl works... there is nothing with wrong with xsl... so i am scratching my head right now...
thanks...

Tomcat also uses XML (for the setting files) and thus: ships with an XML processor. My best guess: your application requires some more recent parser, but the Tomcat provided stuff is found first, and used. Maybe the TransformerException was the result of the famous "Sealing violation" or "Nu such method".
To check if this is the problem: make sure that your new xalan.jar file and (optionally) xerces.jar are in pole position in the class path.
If you happen to use Borland JBuilder: there are two places where you set the order of the required libraries: in the main project settings and in the Project, Run, JSP/Servlet, Server Options, button setup. Here, add your own xalan.jar and xerces.jar as well, and put them on top of the list.

Please help for User defined extension functions

the tutorial given for extension functions doesn't work as well as our new functions
even though i follow all the given steps and see the functions in my user defined extension functions tab in xslt map.
all the target nodes that use the extension function disappear in the resulted target xml.
please help.

have you compiled your java file and uploaded the jar file(containg the .class file and the Manifest.MF file) in the <OC4J_HOME>\j2ee\home\applib directory and then restarted the server??

User Defined Extension functions XML file

Hi,
Can we define exception In custom XSLT function XML file.
Like i have following Custom XSLT function XML-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<extension-functions>
<functions xmlns:uppercase="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/oracle.Uppercase">
<function name="uppercase:GetName" as="string">
<param name="fname" as="string"/>
<param name="lname" as="string"/>
</function>
</functions>
</extension-functions>
So in case i need to throw an exception in my java function GetName so how can i define that in XML?
Please give some suggestion?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. When I created extensions.xml (as advised by you) and tried specifying it as User Defined Extension Functions Config file, I get the following error:
Invalid User Extension Functions Config File
Invalid value 'object' for attribute:'as' line 5 column 52
i.e. the following line:
<function name="extensions:getMSPDate" as="object">
Any pointers on what will be the correct value for attribute 'as' for element 'function'?
Also, what is the default namespace being used in the extensions.xml?
Is there a link for more documentation on the format for extensions.xml?

XSL Extension Functions

Is it possible to write our own xsl Extension Functions in Java using the oracle 9i xsl translator? If yes, how would I write the namespace to point to my class? I was able to do it with xalan, but unable so far with the oracle xslt. TIA.

You can using XDK for Java

Implemented OWSM -- XML-22045: (Error) Extension function error

good day
When I activated my OWSMAgent within ESB, I launched a null pointer Exception when running a fault, since I have reviewed the documentation WSM_DeploymentGuide and commented that it is not possible to add an error handler general, reviewing the logs I found the following error:
XML-22045: (Error) Extension function error: Class not found '
Missing class: com.cablemas.extensionfunctioncablemas.ExtensionFunctionCablemas
Dependent class: oracle.xml.xpath.XSLExtFunctions
Loader: oracle.xml: 10.1.0_2

Configuration: <code-source> (ignore manifest Class-Path) in META-INF/boot.xml in F: \ product \ 10.1.3.1 \ OracleAS_1 \ j2ee \ home \ oc4j.jar
This load was initiated at oc4j: 10.1.3 using the loadClass () method.
The missing class is available from the following locations:
1. Code-Source: / F: / product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/j2ee/oc4j_soa/applib/ExtensionFunctionCablemas.jar (from <code-source> in / F: / product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/j2ee/oc4j_soa/config / server.xml)
This source code is available in loader global.libraries: 1.0. This shared-library can be made visible to the "oc4j" by modifying the boot loader descriptor.
Class ExtensionFunctionCablemas use it to take the code of the error, locate it within a table in the DB and return the corresponding message, the null pointer exception only if it throws error. OWSM reviewing the request is recorded correctly, and the answer recorded as a fault but I'm not returning the message corresponding to error code.

When using Oracle XSLT extensions, make sure you set the namespace of the extension class to be:

Java extension functions

I am trying to execute XSL transformation of XML document in Oracle 9i database
and I am using java extension function in XSL stylesheet.
The XSL stylesheet namespace for the extension function is defined as follows:
xmlns:distance="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/Helper
Apparently the Oracle XSLT processor can not resolve this reference.
However, the error message is somewhat misleading:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
I tried to load the java helper function in the database but this does not help.
I would appreciate if you could give me some info how to resolve the reference to a java extension function in Oracle 9i database.
Thanks in advance.

We are trying to run java extension functions in Oracle 8i (8.1.7), using the 9.2.0.2 XDK and running into a similar problem.

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="math:ceil(12.34)"/>
</xsl:template>

Nodeset extension function

Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone knew whether the most recent version of the oracle xslt processor
oracle.xml.parser.v2.oraxsl
implements the nodeset extension function found in saxon and xalanJ2?
A general list of extension functions would also be helpful.
Oh, and while I'm wishing, a classic mspacman coffeetable wouldn't be bad either.
Thanks!!

I dont think you have it based on the patches you have. Take 8720251 to get the trim function, among other updates.

Where to put property files used by XSLT extensions?

Still fighting with Java XSLT extensions. I have narrowed the
problem down: my XSLT extension cannot find its property file,
which I use to store JDBC connect strings etc.
What is the proper directory to put this file so the XSLT
extension class can find it? I am using Oracle HTTP Server with
XDK 9.0.

Thanks for the answer, Steve!
Depends on what call you're using in your extension function to
read your properties.Maybe I tried a too simplistic approach. I'm just using this:
Properties props = new Properties();
try {
props.load(new FileInputStream("/foo.properties"));
etc.
This (with the slash) works if the properties file is in the root
directory of the filesystem, but it's a kludge.
If you read your properties as a resource using
getResourceAsStream(), then where the classloader expects to
find your file depends on the resource name that you specify.So maybe I should use getResourceAsStream() then? What if I put
the properties file inside the JAR with the extension classes?
Or is there any way to reference the web root?

Using Extension functions in Stylesheets

I'm using a stylesheet for transformations that works perfectly well as long as
I do not use extension functions. When I add an extension function call, I get
a
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xalan/extensions/ExpressionContext
whereas it should be looking for weblogic/apache/xalan/extensions/ExpressionContext.
Here's the list of namespace definitions I have
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:lxslt="http://xml.apache.org/xslt"
xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xslt/java"
exclude-result-prefixes="convert java"
xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"
xmlns:convert="xalan://com.ic.util.ICUtilities"
extension-element-prefixes="convert" version="1.0">

Please advise which version of the database you are using. Please note that this forum is for issues related to the XML DB features of 9iR2 Database. Questions related to the XDK implimentations of PL/SQL should be posted in Technologies -> XML -> General. Please advise if you would like to have this question moved to that forum so the correct experts can answer it.

ABAP XSLT Extensions or XSLT (XI imported archive)?

Hi all,
I would like to know which is having better performance in a scenario with a significant number of messages.
I know that ABAP XSLT Extensions is based in XSLT 1.0 and have some features of XSLT 2.0. So, for me it means some limitations and a disadvantage compared with all of XSLT 2.0 standard can offer.
But, my question is related with performance and I just want to know which is faster.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Ricardo.

Hi Ricardo,
abap xslt has one great advantage
abap stack does not have to communicate with
java stack to perform the - so no RFC calls for mapping
with many messages that might influence their flows
but it wuold be best if you could just test it
in YOUR environment (there are many test tools -
like Loadrunner from Mercury) or you can write your own scripts
and just test in your particular examle which one is better
