public class NodeFunction

extends Object

Nodes of the bridge can have `virtual fields', which are in fact functions on the node. An example of such a function is "gui()". If you want to use these functions in an XSL transformation it is necessary to use this Xalan extension. The XSLT looks like this then:

  <xsl:stylesheet  version = "1.0"
    xmlns:xsl ="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:node ="org.mmbase.bridge.util.xml.NodeFunction"
  >
  ..
  

You can then use a function like this if in the current template is a DOM Node with a 'field' subnode.

  ..
  <img src="{$formatter_imgdb}{node:function(., 'cache(s(180x180))')}" />
  

And otherwise you can also feed it a number:

  ..
  <img src="{$formatter_imgdb}{node:function(string(@number), 'cache(s(180x180))')}" />
  

Possibly even with the name of MMBase:

  ..
  <img src="{$formatter_imgdb}{node:function('mmbase', string(@number), 'cache(s(180x180))')}" />
