URL rewriting processor

Damiano Albani-2
Hello,

Related to my work on "pure XForms capability" for OPS (see
<http://mail-archive.objectweb.org/ops-users/2006-08/msg00515.html>),
I'm trying to create a new processor to do URL rewriting of _XForms_
elements, instead of (X)HTML elements.
So I had a look at the existing XHTMLRewrite.java thus
AbstractRewrite.java file... but I must admit I didn't understand
everything :-)
It _looks_ quite complex to do this URL rewriting. Wouldn't a 'simple'
XSLT stylesheet fit this job ? In fact, the comments in the Java code
say it implements such a stylesheet !
Could you give me some tips on how to adapt, if possible, the current
"oxf:xhtml-rewrite" processor to my needs ?

Cheers,

Sounds good.

To be honest, neither do I (I did not write this code - not that I
always understand my own code anyway ;-)

That's what we had before, and you can certainly do that. But XSLT
turned out to add too much overhead. We had several stylesheet in a row,
including for URL rewriting, conversion of XForms to XHTML, and more. So
we decided to rewrite as much as possible natively in Java.

Use the source, Luke ;-) I can't tell you much more than that unfortunately.
