Convert XSLT Template to XSLT String object

[V Senthil]

Hello all,

1. I am working in enhancement project. Our project extensively used XSLT transformation. The XSLT is stored in oracle database & then using it. TO avoid querying DB everything, we implemented Cache mechanism. When the server starts up, a thread will keep on fetching the XSLT from database and converting them into Templates then added in the HashMap defined in Singleton class. Whenever we require, we will take the Template from hashmap and convert one XML to another....
2. Now, we have one more enhancement that we need to give the XSLT as String object to one URL. As already we implemented caching machanism, we would like to use the same template converting back to String object(contains text of XSLT). Will it possible to get the XSLT from the Template object?

Thanks,
Senthil

Can you elaborate more about Template? How your template stores XML.
In java terminology a template means a object which stores XML.

Hi,
We are storing XML. Using XSLT we have created javax.xml.tranform.Template object. Using this Template object u will get the Transformer java Object. Again by using Transformer object, we will convert one XMl to another.

Sorry, We r not storing XML in java Template object.

As far as I can tell from the JavaDocs, there is no way to regenerate the original form of a XSLT from an object that implements the javax.xml.transform.Templates interface. Why don't you just cache the original String in addition to the Templates object?

Senthil,

I am working on a similar project where in xsl performance improvement is major concern.The current implementaion uses xalan xslt processor. Original plan is to replace xalan interpretive processor with xsltc ( compile style sheet once and use translets for transform thereon..). It dit not work because current implementaion makes extensive use of xalan:evalaute() library function which is not supported bt xsltc. ANY HELP ..ANY WORK AROUND TO THIS WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED..
alternately looking at caching Templates objects and use them for transformations. can any one throw some light on Template caching mechanism.

I have around 250 xsl files, will it be wise to cache 250 Templates in JVM memory? Any inputs on this.
If some one has sample Template Cache code, please send me for my use.

senthil, can you share your experiences ? Since you have already worked in similar lines , your help would be of great relief for me.

waiting to hear from you,
Amru
