redirect:write not writing to separate files with ant
Hi,
I'm having problems getting an XSLT using the redirect:write extension in
Xalan to work with Ant. The attached testcase works fine from command line,
but not Ant.
Expected results: Two text files - "test.txt" and "test2.txt".
Actual results (Ant): One text file - "test.txt"
Actual results (Command line): Two text files - "test.txt" and "test2.txt".
A look through the mailing list archive found a similar problem in 2001 [0],
but I suspect that's fixed by now ;-). I would appreciate if anyone could
suggest what's going wrong...
---8<--- Setup ---8<---
WinXP SP1
java version "1.4.1_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_02-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_02-b06, mixed mode)
Apache Ant version 1.6alpha compiled on September 6 2003
Xalan Version Xalan Java 2.5.0
---8<--- Command line ---8<---
java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN test.xml -XSL test.xsl -OUT test.txt
---8<--- Ant target ---8<---
<target name="redirect" description="Test of redirect:write in xslt via
ant.">
<xslt in="test.xml" out="test.txt" style="test.xsl"/>
</target>
---8<--- XML source ---8<---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test>
<one>Hello, this is one.</one>
<two>Hello, this is two.</two>
</test>
---8<--- XSL ---8<---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:redirect="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/redirect"
extension-element-prefixes="redirect">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/test">
<xsl:for-each select="one">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="two">
<redirect:write select="'test2.txt'">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</redirect:write>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
---8<--- END ---8<---
I can write XSL testcases, but I don't really know Java, so any suggestions
would be great.
Cheers,
Dave.

Hi David,
I am not sure whether the problem detected by Michael Hudson is fixed now.
The code of TraxLiaison.java has certainly changed quite a bit since then.
this message of Robert Koberg is also interesting
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.ant.user/21384/match=+xalan+redirect+style
My experience is that one easily gets into trouble with file resolution
issues with xalan, independently of ant too.
For instance I have a web application where I was trying to do
<xsl:import href='xyz'/> and I discovered that xalan was trying to
resolve the hrefs relative to the directory of the input file rather
than relative to the directory of the current stylesheet.
So in my opinion your test2.txt gets generated, but is maybe in the
directory on the input data or of the xsl stylesheet, in any case not
where you wanted it to be.
I also suffered the first time I tried to use xalan:redirect.
Cheers,
Antoine Levy-Lambert
