saxon servlet

For those looking at incorporating citeproc into their apps, you might
look at the Saxon servlet example included in the Saxon archive.

From the doc:

The servlet maintains a cache of prepared stylesheets; if the same
stylesheet is used repeatedly, it is only parsed and validated once,
which will often greatly improve performance. Prepared style sheets
are thread-safe so they can be used to serve documents to several
users concurrently.

There are two things that slow-down the processing:

  1. compiling the stylesheet
  2. starting up the JVM

It seems the servlet solves both problems, though perhaps in
integration with a Java app like eXist, these aren’t problems (?).

Hi Bruce,

There are two things that slow-down the processing:

  1. compiling the stylesheet
  2. starting up the JVM

It seems the servlet solves both problems, though perhaps in integration
with a Java app like eXist, these aren’t problems (?).

The transform:transform() XQuery extension function in eXist maintains
its own cache for the compiled stylesheets.

Cool. Would be nice to have a demo working with the MDC project, along
with RefBase. I’ve just about wrapped up the changes I want to make
for the next release (including adding SRU support!).

Adrian is on the case - will we be able to get a stylesheet that can create
lists to some official standard?

When I put up the new release, it’ll have a few.

great. our primary users are medics so we’ll have to create some stylesheets
for them…hopefully it will be easy to adapt your stylesheets for this
audience.
