Subject: Re: [xsl] RE: Are there things missing in XSLT which force people to use, say, Java to process XML? From: Wolfgang Laun <wolfgang.laun@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 30 Oct 2010 19:59:40 +0200 |
Some questions, out of ignorance, but driven by curiosity. I have addressed a few point that (I think) are required for programming in the large. ("Large" has no upper bound, has it, Ken ;-) ) On 29 October 2010 22:43, G. Ken Holman <gkholman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > XSLT absolutely was designed for "programming in the large", Is there any way that I can write a stylesheet module, to be imported by others, so that I expose the functions and templates I consider being part of the "published interface" but forbid the use of certain local templates or functions (which would permit me to change them without breaking other code)? If there is a module with templates matching some specific XML hierarchy (<x><y z="">...</</), is there a straightforward way of reusing that for a structurally identical XML hierarchy? If some XML structure has to be changed, which mechanism (except regression testing) detects reliably that some module handling this XML structure isn't fit to do so any more? W3C has defined XML, XML Schema and XSLT, but there is no way (I know) of aligning a data definition (e.g., a ComplexType) with an XSLT module defining operations on such an entity. Or is there? XSLT is (understandably) focussed on the data types and structures found in XML and XML Schema. There is no way (again: I know of) for defining really new data types in a way comparable to, say, Haskell. Or is there? Cheers Wolfgang
