RE: SAXON: Generate 10 elements per page

2004-02-12 06:06:27

I have the following xml document with 1 million rows.
I want to generate html pages using SAXON with 10 rows on each page.

Any suggestion?
/s

<import>
 <Row>
  <Field1>Match1</Field1>
  <Field2>2004-10-01</Field2>
  <Field3>Team A</Field3>
  <Field4>Team B</Field4>
 </Row>
</import>

Well you could use position() mod 10=1 to get every tenth row, and then
apply-templates to each of the following 9 siblings BUT......

...with 1 million rows you will probably be waiting a while for the
document to load into memory, so you would be better of writing a sax
filter and processing only 100 rows at a time (and then rebuilding the
result), or using something like STX which can transform the xml as its
read in.
