Subject: [xsl] Doing HTTP/POST from XSLT is fun! From: Gunther Schadow <gunther@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 02 Dec 2002 14:26:02 -0500 |
my final contribution of new stuff today is that I have code, which I am willing to share, that allows you to perform HTTP/POST requests from within XSLT. This is not so strange as it may sound. You can already do HTTP/GET requests using the document() function. But I am using XSLT to do web-services, and so I want to call web services from within an XSLT script. Here is an example:
<post:message url="..."> <post:with-param name="SOAPAction" select="..."/> ... </post:message>
post:message is of course done in analogy to xsl:message, mixing in code from the document() implementation and the look and feel of XSL parameters with post:with-param (that of course sets HTTP request-parameters instead of XSLT-internal names.)
Of course since communications includes the possibility for error (even the XSLT standard function document() does!), you really want my exception handling package to go with this one (guess why I wrote it ;-).
This is real fun to use XSLT as a platform for all XML related work. Forget those super nifty SOAP APIs and of course forget JSP. All you need is XSLT!
Once again, if you'd like this code (which exists for Saxon versions 6 and 7) please respond in public (I want the show of hands.) My preference is to make this code part of something bigger out there rather than dragging along my little pieces.
regards, -Gunther
