Designing a XSL for generating A-Z... 2003-05-12 - By peter peter
Hi Andrew, Definitly I would like to go with better approach. Can you
will give more details of your solution. Like when you say "checking against
directory list" , Only by calling java program I could find out directory list?
? Thanks,Peter

Yes you could do that, but its the wrong way around imho. I would use an XML
Filter on the way into the transform, checking it against the directory list
and adding attributes to the elements that pass the test. Then you can check
for the existence of the attribute in the stylesheet to decide whether the
element has a matching directory or not. Its the most effecient way, and isn't
too hard (calling custom external java functions can be confusing enough :)
cheers
