How to Test XSLT Maps that Use DVM Lookup Functions

You can test an XSLT map that contains DVM lookup functions. If your map uses DVM lookup functions that reference local files or files in the MDS, and these files are accessible from your JDeveloper environment, then you need not perform any additional steps.

If your map uses DVM lookup functions that reference files not accessible in your JDeveloper environment, then you can create local DVM files for testing without requiring to modify the DVM references in your XSLT. Use the following steps:

  1. If you have not already run the XSLT test, execute the test tool once. The test tool generates the file UnitTestURLs.dvm in the XSLNonDeployedFiles folder, located in the same folder as your XSLT file.

    The UnitTestURLs.dvm file contains mappings between the DVM references in your XSLT file and DVM references to local test files. For example, if the XSLT file that you are testing has a reference to the file, oramds:/apps/AIAMetaData/dvm/CUSTOMERPARTY_STATUSCODE.dvm, but you do not have access to this file in JDeveloper, then you can create a local DVM lookup file against which the test is performed.

  2. Open the UnitTestURLs.dvm file, located in the XSLNonDeployedFiles folder, in JDeveloper.
  3. Under the serverURL column, add the reference for the DVM file that you reference in your XSLT.
  4. Under the testURL column, add the reference to a local file to be used for testing.
  5. Save the UnitTestURLs.dvm file.
  6. Populate your test DVM file with test data.
  7. Execute the test tool. The lookup is performed against the local file. You do not need to modify your XSLT to point to the local file. The test uses the UnitTestURLs.dvm file to look up the correct test file for the reference defined in the serverURL column.
