This function is a complementary XPath function to doXSLTransform(). It aims to perform the transformation when the XSLT template matches the document.

The following example shows the doXSLTransformForDoc function:

<function name="ora:doXSLTransformForDoc">
  <className>com.collaxa.cube.xml.xpath.functions.xml.DoXSLTransformForDocument
  </className>
  <return type="node-set"/>
  <params>
   <param name="template" type="string"/>
   <param name="input" type="string"/>
   <param name="properties" type="string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
  </params>
  <desc resourceKey="PI_FUNCTION_DESC_DOXSLTRANSFORM_FOR_DOC"></desc>
  <detail resourceKey="PI_FUNCTION_DESC_LONG_DOXSLTRANSFORM_FOR_DOC">
        This function is a complement xpath function to doXSLTransform(). It aims
 to do the transformation when the xslt template matching the
document. The signature of this function is <i>ora:doXSLTransformForDoc('url_to_
xslt',input,['paramQname',paramValue]*)</i>.
        </detail>
  <group>BPEL XPath Extension Functions</group>
 </function>

Signature:

ora:doXSLTransformForDoc('url_to_xslt',input,['paramQname',paramValue]*)

Arguments:

• url_to_xslt: Specifies the XSL style sheet URL.

• input: Specifies the input variable name.

• paramQname: Specifies the parameter QName.

• paramValue: Specifies the value of the parameter.

Property IDs:

• namespace-uri: http://schemas.oracle.com/xpath/extension

• namespace-prefix: ora

You can use the ora:doXSLTransformForDoc function to write the results of large XSLT/XQuery operations to a temporary file in a directory system. The document is then loaded from the temporary file when needed. This eliminates the need for caching an entire document as binary XML in memory.
