How to work with the element which has multiple child text nodes

[Honglin Su <hosu at csee dot umbc dot edu>]

Hi, there,

Suppose that I have a document-centric XML document, one element node
might have multiple child text nodes and other child nodes as well, and
the order is also important.

e.g.: lease.xml

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
 <Lease>
  <Lessee>ABC Industries</Lessee>
  agrees to lease the property at
  <Address>123 Main St., Chicago, IL</Address>
  from
  <Lessor>XYZ Properties</Lessor>
  for a term of not less than
  <LeaseTerm TimeUnit="Months">18</LeaseTerm>
  at a cost of
  <Price Currency="USD" TimeUnit="Months">1000</Price>
  .
  </Lease>

When I apply an XSL stylesheet to process the XML document, if such a node
is found (whenever a node has child text node), the whole sub-tree will
be passed to Java extension class to process.

  <?xml version="1.0" ?>
  <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
version="1.0" xmlns:lxslt="http://xml.apache.org/xslt" 
xmlns:storexml="storeXML" extension-element-prefixes="storexml">
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*" />
  <lxslt:component prefix="storexml" functions="testInsert closeConn 
insertDB">
  <lxslt:script lang="javaclass" src="storeXML" />
  </lxslt:component>
  <xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:apply-templates />
  <xsl:value-of select="storexml:closeConn()" />
  Successful!!!!!
  </xsl:template>
 <!--  process the children
  -->
 <xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:value-of select="storexml:insertDB(.., ., text(), @*)" />
  <xsl:apply-templates />
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="text()" />
  </xsl:stylesheet>

Can anyone help me modify this stylesheet? What kind of parameter should
be passed on the extension class and how to keep the  whole sub-tree so
that I can do further processing.

Is there any way that after I pass the parameter to Java extension
class, I could get the String representation of the sub-tree from the
current node, e.g. 

<Lease>
  <Lessee>ABC Industries</Lessee>
  agrees to lease the property at
  <Address>123 Main St., Chicago, IL</Address>
  from
  <Lessor>XYZ Properties</Lessor>
  for a term of not less than
  <LeaseTerm TimeUnit="Months">18</LeaseTerm>
  at a cost of
  <Price Currency="USD" TimeUnit="Months">1000</Price>
  .
  </Lease>

Thank you very much!
