Excellent! You implemented TransQuery using the XSLT wrapper that I
suggested before. Based on my reading of the script and experimenting with
"transquery -db dir -o dirtoxml.xml", it looks like you're automatically
creating a "meta-document" and then using the document() function on the
URIs in that meta-document to supply the value of the imported tq:input
parameter.
There are a couple possible bugs that I can't figure out. First of all, I
can't get the "-dbf" option to work, because it displays the usage message
whenever I try it. More seriously, for some reason certain XPath queries
aren't working for me, which makes me suspect that you don't have something
right...?
For example, say I put a bunch of XSLT stylesheets in my database directory.
Then I write this query:
<xsl:transform version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:tq="http://www.xmlportfolio.com/transquery">
<xsl:param name="tq:input"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<result>
<xsl:copy-of select="$tq:input/xsl:stylesheet"/>
</result>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
This seems to work perfectly. But when I change the expression above to
"$tq:input//xsl:stylesheet" (i.e. "//" instead of "/"), it stops working and
I get an empty <result/> element in the output! Do you have any idea why
that would be happening?
Again, good job and it's cool to see such a quick implementation :)
Evan
