using other taglibrary in own taglibrary

[Roman Kunert <ro...@hsh-berlin.com>]

I tried to extend the example taglibrary from the cocoon samples like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
        xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0"
        xmlns:xsp="http://www.apache.org/1999/XSP/Core"
        xmlns:example="http://localhost/~roman"
        xmlns:sql="http://www.apache.org/1999/SQL"
>
<xsl:template match="xsp:page">
<xsp:page
       xmlns:sql="http://www.apache.org/1999/SQL"
>
	<xsl:copy>
        	<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
         </xsl:copy>
         <xsp:structure>
         	<xsp:include>java.util.Date</xsp:include>
                <xsp:include>java.text.SimpleDateFormat</xsp:include>
          </xsp:structure>
         <xsp:logic>
         		/* "Example" Class Level Logic roman was here*/
         		private static String formatDate(Date date, String pattern) {
            		if (pattern == null || pattern.length() == 0) {
              			pattern = "yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss aa";
            		}
            		return (new SimpleDateFormat(pattern)).format(date);
            	}
         </xsp:logic>
         <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </xsp:page>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="example:test">
	<sql:execute-query>
		<sql:driver>org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver</sql:driver>
		<sql:dburl>jdbc:mysql://localhost/example</sql:dburl>
				...
				...
	</sql:execute-query>
</xsl:template>

...

calling <example:test> doesn't evaluate the
<sql:execute-query>...</sql:execute-query> branch, it simply copies the nodes.

What do I have to do to make this work? Thanks for your help!

are you doing this for learning experience or to add column formatting to
the sql taglib? if the former, more power to you, i cannot help. if the
latter, you can do column formatting without modifying the sql taglib. see

http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/sqltaglib.html

and read the section entitied "Column Formatting".
