Dear Bryce K. Nielsen:
When I use LTE in my work, I meet several tough problems.
My work is to translate a fixed-width EDI text message to XML format, LTE does just what I need except that it also output the line-id filed into the XML message. But in my translation work the line-ids are not permitted to output into the XML message. I know this can be work around with XSLT, but that will dramaticlly slow down the translation speed, for it's a heavy TOL system. For the line-id fileds are only essentially used by the LTE engine to identify the LINE (XML use the line name to identify the element), it will be valuable to add an attribute to FIELD element in the map file to control whether the line-id should be output to the XML file, while this will not bother the work from XML to TEXT. How do you think about that?
The second problem is that I found an undocumented property in the LTE COM control, MapSource, that represents the content of the MapFile. MapSource will improve the translation efficiency for the content of MapFile can be cached by my program. It works will in GUI and Console client applications under MS.NET, but doesnot work under NUnit and Webservice, while MapFile works well. Does there any matters in the MapSource treatment?
The LTE dll I am using is download form sysonyx website, the version is 1.2 viewed from the exported IDL file. Does there are any newer stabile versions improved or fixed above problems I met? Where can I download them? It will be so nice if you can send me a copy of the new version? My email is netzhen[at]hotmail.com.
Thanks for you help.
