RE: [xml-dev] XSTL stylesheet workarounds for exceptions

Hi Michael,

I ran the transformation the same way as when using Saxon 6.5 with the following Java code from Netbeans 6.1:

.......

SAXBuilder stateBuilder = new SAXBuilder("org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup.Parser", false);

FileInputStream hobbiesIS = new FileInputStream(hobbiesXmlFile);

BufferedInputStream hobbiesBIS = new BufferedInputStream(hobbiesIS);

Document hobbiesOriginaljdomDocument = stateBuilder.build(hobbiesBIS);

TransformerFactory hobbiesFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();

FileInputStream hobbiesStyleSheetIS = new FileInputStream(hobbiesStyleSheet);

BufferedInputStream hobbiesStyleSheetBIS = new BufferedInputStream(hobbiesStyleSheetIS);

Transformer hobbiesTransformer = stateFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(hobbiesStyleSheetBIS));

JDOMSource hobbiesSource = new JDOMSource(hobbiesOriginaljdomDocument);

JDOMResult hobbiesResult = new JDOMResult();

stateTransformer.transform(hobbiesSource, hobbiesResult);

Nothing has been changed apart from replacing saxon.jar, saxon-jdom.jar, saxpath.jar with saxon9.jar, saxon9-jdom.jar, saxon9-xpath.jar in the compilation CLASSPATH.

I run this program (SHIFT-F6 or RUN => Run file) to start transformation in Netbeans.

Thanks,

Jack

How are you running the transformation?

Hi Michael,

Your are right and I have reverted the XML version in the stylesheet to 1.0. However, I am back to where I started from by getting the can find empty() again.

Below is the detail of my CLASSPATH:

E:\Software Development\XML\tagsoup-1.2.jar;E:\Software Development\XML\JDOM\jdom-1.1\build\jdom.jar;E:\Software Development\XML\JDOM\jdom-1.1\lib\jaxen-jdom.jar;E:\Software Development\XML\JDOM\jdom-1.1\lib\jaxen-core.jar;E:\Software Development\XML\JDOM\jdom-1.1\lib\xalan.jar;E:\Software Development\XML\Saxon\9.1\saxon9-jdom.jar;E:\Software Development\XML\Saxon\9.1\saxon9-xpath.jar;E:\Software Development\XML\Saxon\9.1\saxon9.jar;E:\Software Development\XML\JDOM\jdom-1.1\lib\xerces.jar;E:\Software Development\XML\JDOM\jdom-1.1\lib\saxpath.jar

Any idea on which jar file is missing?

Thanks a lot,

Jack

It sounds as if you changed the XML version to "2.0" when you intended to change the XSLT version.

Hi Michael,

I encountered the following error when switching over to Saxon 9.1 Open Source version so that I could use the empty() as suggested:

[Fatal Error] javax..xml.transform.stream.StreamSource:1:20: XML version "2.0" is not supported, only XML 1.0 is supported.

javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: javax..xml.transform.TransformerException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: XML version "2.0" is not supported, only XML 1.0 is supported.

at org..apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl..newTransformer(TransformerFactoryImpl.java:795)

Below is where StreamSource is used in my Java application:

Transformer hobbiesTransformer = hobbiesFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(hobbiesStyleSheetBIS));

JDOMSource hobbiesSource = new JDOMSource(hobbiesOriginaljdomDocument);

JDOMResult hobbiesResult = new JDOMResult();

hobbiesTransformer.transform(hobbiesSource, hobbiesResult);

What is the alternative to using StreamSource in XSLT 2.0?

Many thanks again,

Jack

<xsl:template match="ns:p[ns:strong='Hobbie:']|ns:p[ns:strong='Hobbies:']">

Now the only question left is the second half ( ii ) of the original post
included below:



    ( ii ) I also like to add a default generic value for any missing
element. Say if there are no

    <p><strong>Hobbies:</strong></p> in such document, yet I still would
like to generate a

    null element such as <hobbies>Unknown</hobbies>.


You need to do this at the next level up, where you are applying-templates
to the p elements. Something like

<xsl:variable name="hobbies" select="ns:p[ns:strong='Hobbies:']"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$hobbies"/>
<xsl:if test="empty($hobbies)">
... default output goes here ...
</xsl:if>
