RE: xslt/xpath function extension mechanism

["Voytenko, Dimitry" <dv...@sectordata.com>]

Hi,

Here's what I have to say about changes I proposed earlier. Sorry for the
delay, I meant to finish much earlier, but got really jammed at work.

It is pretty much finished. There's just some cleaning that should be done
to finalize this as I had to comment some of the code which could be simply
removed, so it'd be easier to see what's changed and how.

http://www.sectorbase.com/tmp/20030220.zip

Package org.apache.xpath.extensions.pkgs is just a sample of what
lower-level extensions may look like. I just collected set of functions
provided in JavaScript and Oracle SQL, as it seems as they are sufficient
for a pretty broad set of tasks.

Please review these changes (Gary, Morris, ?) and send me your comments.

I actually have no idea where to move from this point, so please send me
other instuctions how to get this to future release too.

Thanks,
Dimitry

Glitch in xslt20 branch

[Joseph Kesselman <ke...@us.ibm.com>]

Not sure it's worth posting into Bugzilla since it's on the branch, but: 
Running conformance test "modes10" with both -ts and -l  (which should 
display locator information for selected data) causes the xslt20  to 
crash. Looks like something in the new code isn't recording locators 
exactly as intended.

We should fix that.
