RE: how to capture a value returned by a template call

You need to post your translate_type template.  What you have posted looks fine.

Subject:  how to capture a value returned by a template call into a variable


Hi, all,

I have tried to search by keyword "function" or "template" into the mailing
list but there are no many enties returned in the results. So i have to
venture to ask this question in this list. If the question has appeared
before, please kindly bear with me.

I would like to modularise some common code as a function. But in XSLT 1.0
there is no function facility. My common code involved is to tranlate a DB
type into a java type. That is what i have done:

 <xsl:variable name="java_type">
        <xsl:call-template name="translate_type">
            <xsl:with-param name="db_type" select="@jdbc-type"/>
        </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:variable>

I intended (wish, actually :-) to capture the result into variable
"java_type". However it failed.

What is a better way to achieve this?


Regards,

Anthony
