RE: Xalan-Java extensions

Chris,

Thanks for trying.

Having had already written (with Jeni's help) a mini embedded javascript, I
first tried <lxslt:component> <lsxslt:script lang=javascript> combination to
solve this problem too, but my understanding is that file I/O operations are
not supported by javascript.

Replacing javascript with JScript did not help, either.

Cheers,

Zeynep

This is a step closer

    exclude-result-prefixes="mynamespace">

<lxslt:component prefix="mynamespace" elements="appendtolog"
functions="appendtolog">
<lxslt:script lang="javascript">
function appendtolog(){
   var fso, tf, a, ForAppending;
   ForAppending = 8;
   logString = "Testing..";
   logFileName = "c:\\testlog.txt";
   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
   if (fso.FileExists(logFileName))
      tf = fso.OpenTextFile(logFileName, ForAppending, false);
   else
      tf = fso.CreateTextFile(logFileName, true);
   // Write the input string with a newline character.
   tf.WriteLine(logString) ;
   tf.Close();
}
</lxslt:script>
</lxslt:component>
<xsl:template name="append-to-log">
<xsl:param name="log-string" select="." />
====++ <xsl:value-of select="mynamespace:appendtolog()" />

</xsl:stylesheet>

But I get

Maybe it will work for you.

Ciao Chris
