xml-dev - Re: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XSLProcessor & XSLStylesheet

["Steve Muench" <smuench@us.oracle.com>]

The 2nd argument is a URL which is used
as the base url for <xsl:import> and
<xsl:include>.

It's most relevant if you are passing
the XSLStylesheet() constructor an
InputStream as the first argument,
and it gives the class that extra bit
of "base uri" information that it
cannot get out of the stream.

If you're not using include/import,
then it's ok to pass a null.

So you can do:

// Create the Stylesheet from the stream
XSLStylesheet theXSLStylesheet = new XSLStylesheet(XSLStream,null);

// Create an instance of XSLProcessor to perform the transformation
XSLProcessor  processor = new XSLProcessor();

// Transform theXMLDoc by theXSLStylesheet and write result to
// System.out. This obeys all the rules of <xsl:output> while
// writing it out
processor.processXSL(theXSLStylesheet, theXMLDoc, System.out );

or

// Transform and keep hold of raw result DocumentFragment
DocumentFragment df = processor.processXSL(theXSLStylesheet, theXMLDoc);

You might want to check out the Oracle XSQL Servlet
on our Technet website which is a servlet that
does this for you already, as well as our XML Forum
on OTN where there's a Q and A forum on our components.

Subject: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XSLProcessor & XSLStylesheet


| Hi Gang,
|
| Do any of you have experience in using oracle's parser stuff, in
particular
| the XSL Processor?
|
| According to the very skimpy notes (see below) , the XSLStylesheet has a
| constructor which takes two URL objects, one for the xsl, the other a
| 'Reference'.
|
| I have set up an xml document, it's DTD and an xsl style sheet. I can
browse
| the xml with IE5 and it reads the style sheet and applies it as desired.
Now
| I want to do the stylesheet processing from inside a JAVA servlet. Thus
far
| the servlet can read and parse the XML using the DTD. But I can't seem to
| get the code to build up the style sheet which I need as a parameter for
the
| XSL Processing.
|
| Can anyone help ?
|
| Regards
| Anton
