Extension functions with preset state

Added by Anonymous almost 17 years ago

I'd like to see if there's a way to 'pass' an object to a template that could be called from within the template. The current extension mechanism allows for new objects to be created or static ones to be called but I'd like to pass an already initialized object which I'm going to call its methods in my XSLT. thanks jeff

I think the following post also needed something like this; however, the response provided did not mention a way directly: http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4062804

You can wrap a Java object inside an XPath value held in an XSLT variable, and you can pass this around in the same way as any other XPath value, e.g. in xsl:with-param. Such a value can originate either (a) as the return value from an extension function call, or (b) from the calling Java application - create it using new ExternalObject(obj).
