Tricky whitespace handling in XSLT

Whitespace in a text string

             <description> This    is a test. </description>

normalize-space()

            normalize-space(description)

 translate() and replace()

            translate(description, '&#x20;&#x9;&#xD;&#xA;', ' ')

Whitespace-only text nodes

           <test>

                             <item/>

                        <item/>

             <item/>

</test>

Why strip whitespace-only text nodes

           <xsl:strip-space  elements="*"/>

xsl:strip-space and position()

           Input XML

<test>

  <item/>

  <item/>

  <item/>

</test>

XSLT stylesheet

<xsl:stylesheet  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

  <xsl:template  match="/">

    <test>

      <xsl:apply-templates/>

    </test>

  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template  match="item">

    <no>

      <xsl:value-of  select="position()"/>

    </no>

  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

           

            Output XML

<test>

  <no>2</no>

  <no>4</no>

  <no>6</no>

</test>

xsl:strip-space and xsl:preserve-space

            <xsl:preserve-space elements="…"/>

Whitespace-only in mixed content

            <para>I <strong>love</strong> <name>Mozart</name></para>

<xsl:preserve-space  elements="resume headline para"/>

Whitespace in the XSLT stylesheet

            <xsl:value-of  select="firstname"/>

<xsl:text> </xsl:text>

<xsl:value-of  select="lastname"/>

<xsl:value-of  select="firstname"/>

<xsl:text> </xsl:text>

<xsl:value-of  select="lastname"/><xsl:for-each  select="item">

  <xsl:value-of  select="."/>,

</xsl:for-each>

<xsl:for-each  select="item">

<xsl:value-of  select="."/>, <xsl:text/>

</xsl:for-each>

<xsl:for-each  select="item">

  <xsl:value-of  select="."/>, <br/>

</xsl:for-each>

<xsl:for-each  select="item">  <xsl:value-of  select="."/>, <br/>&#160;</xsl:for-each>

SQL Commands for Retrieving Row Number

     ALTER TABLE temp
     ADD rownumber number null;

Internal Server Error

Issue:

    500 Internal Server Error when starting an Oracle Web Service.
     "Node ID does not exist for the current application server id"

Solution:

     If You have executed the 'autoconfig.cmd', check whether it is completely executed.
     Execution stops by failure, it is recommended to restart the system.
     Then, try running the 'autoconfig.cmd' for successful execution.
     Command Script Name: adautocfg.cmd
            For DB: E:\oracle\VIS\db\tech_st\10.2.0\appsutil\scripts\VIS_vmoraclesrv03
            For Apps: E:\oracle\VIS\inst\apps\VIS_vmoraclesrv03\admin\scripts\

  
    After the autoconfig.cmd executed properly, restart the machine. Then connect the Oracle Apps.
    It actually works.
