[xsl] Extensions for Servlet API and JNDI/DSML Searching

["Mark R. Diggory" <mdiggory at latte dot harvard dot edu>]

Hello,

I've released some demonstration files for the following Saxon 
Extensions that I've written.

Servlet API Extension library: 4 Extensions giving access to the 
ServletContext, HttpSession HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse 
objects.

JNDI/DSML Extension library: 1 Extension that gives access to the 
DirContext 'search' and 'getAttributes' methods. This extension works 
like the document() function in xslt, creating a DSML valid document 
NodeSet that can be processed in the XSLT page. There's lots of 
interesting stuff going on in this extension. The DSMLSearch and 
DSMLGetAttributes Classes extend XMLReader and can be directly SAX 
parsed or plugged into a Transformer (There arre two example runnables 
in the package that show this).

A Saxon.war file containing these libraries (source and binaries) is 
available for download at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/thedata

This sub-project is Alpha quality, but I plan further development over 
this Summer.

I've provided WAR file allowing the sub-project to be deployed in 
Tomcat, Our project also has a development server on which I've deployed 
the demo as well.

I invite comments and suggestions.

Cheers,
