This function returns the content of the file.

Signature:

ora:readFile('fileName','nxsdTemplate'?,'nxsdRoot'?)

Arguments:

• fileName: The name of the file. This argument can also be an HTTP URL.

  This function by default reads files relative to the suitcase JAR file for the process. If the file to read is located in a different directory path, you must specify an extra directory slash ( /) to indicate that this is an absolute path. For example:

  ora:readFile('file:///c:/temp/test.doc')
  

  If you specify only two directory slashes (//), you receive an error similar to that shown in the following example:

  XPath expression failed to execute.
  Error while processing xpath expression,
  the expression is "ora:readFile("file://c:/temp/test.doc")",
  the reason is c. Verify the xpath query. 
  

• nxsdTemplate: The NXSD template for the output.

• nxsdRoot -The NXSD root.
