Compile a XSQL-Script function and catalog it in the map of available functions to be used from the program. Allows to:

  • Patch a function already existing, so that overwrite a function which exist with the same name.
  • Declarar una función para un caso concreto.

Notas

It is recommended to use the function.declare function because it allows the creation of the functionality in execution time without the need to have a file installed on the server with the content of the class.

1 function.loadExternalFunction

Compile a 'XSQL-Script' function and catalog it in the map of available functions to be used from the program.

<function.loadExternalFunction
    name='name'
    dir='dir'
/>
Example

Compile and declare a new class to pass a given text to UpperCase. The class is as follows and is stored in $HOMEJAS\conf\functions\xsql_cust_uppercase:

Copy 
import deister.webstudio.core.xsql.script.XSQLScriptRunner;
import deister.webstudio.core.xsql.script.XSQLScriptFunction;
import deister.webstudio.core.xsql.script.XSQLScriptException;

// dom
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
public final class xsql_cust_sample extends XSQLScriptFunction
{
	protected final static String[] ATTRIBUTES	= null;

        @Override 
	protected final boolean  isTerminal()		{ return false;	}

        @Override
	protected final String[] getAttributes()	{ return ATTRIBUTES;	}

        @Override
	protected final Object process(XSQLScriptRunner program, Element el, int deep)
		throws XSQLScriptException
	{
		Object data    = program.__get1EvaluatedArguments(el, deep);
		if (data == null)
			return null;
		String text = __object2String(program, el, data);
		return text.toUpperCase();
	}
}

And the XSQL-SCRIPT code is shown below.

Copy 
<xsql-script name='function_loadExternalFunction'>
 <body>
   <function.loadExternalFunction dir='conf\functions' name='xsql_cust_uppercase' />

	<set name='text'>my text is convert to uppercase</set>


   <println>
     The text converto to uppercase is = "<text/>"</multiply>
   </println>
 </body>

</xsql-script>
