Title: using avt's outside xslt Hi
Knut,
Our
NetGlue application is one of those applications that uses XPath/AVTs as a
'macro' language. We also use it inside a GUI app, where the dialogbox fields
are processed for XPath/AVT. You can do a lot of things that would otherwise
require some pretty complex scripting/programming. We've found it to
be a very powerful mechanism.
The
only warning for having an AVT that references (and potentially modifies) its
own source tree is to look out for recursion and sequence of operations,
i.e. the first AVT replaces the name of a node, and a second AVT no longer finds
that node because it's changed. A better solution might be to maintain a
'source' tree and run through it executing each AVT in sequence into a 'target'
tree.
Cheers,
Ramin
