[Xpipe-developers] Latest Java classes

[David S. <ds...@st...>]

I have replaced the .zip file at
http://www.starrconnect.com/xpipe/JavaXComponent.zip

The only change is addition of the ability to execute Java and Python code.
Now these plus XSLT XComponents can be executed directly from the .xco file
without extracting to a file.

Python code is run by instantiating a Jython interpreter.  Java code is
instantiated through a custom class loader used to load the class data from
.xco files.

There is a test driver for the XComponentFactory class that can be used to
execute .xco file directly.  You can invoke it as:
	java XComponentFactory <xco file> <in file> <out file> <log file>

The following need to be in the classpath:
	JDOM
	A JAXP parser
	Jython 2.1

Coming soon:
1)	Handling of error conditions.
2)	Invoking unit tests
3)	Checking of preconditions and postconditions

It may be a few days until I get to them.
