Adding variable no of elements to task
Hi,
I'm faced with the following situation:
- The stylesheet parameters supposed to be passed to the XSLT processor
should be configurable from the "outside world", like this
<property name="transformer.xsl.stylesheet.params"
value="prop.base.name=internal-history,prop.languages=de en fr" />
- I want to provide a macro that creates a bunch of <param> elements
with name and expression attributes based on the number of comma-separated
key-value pairs set by the above property (shouldn't be a problem). (The
number of key-value pairs depends on the stylesheet).
- Later on using the generated <param> elements inside the <xslt> task.
That's my problem. How can I "copy&paste" the generated <params> in the
<xslt> task? Is this possible using Ant itself (maybe there's some
external task available) or do I have to extend the <xslt> task using
BeanShell code? (In both cases, suggestions are highly appreciated).
I'm currently using Ant 1.6.2, but there probably won't be much difference
to Ant 1.6.5 with regard to the aforementioned item.
Thanks in advance for any info & have a nice weekend,
Holger

I've not followed this conversation in detail, but you can use XMLTask to
create a new build.xml and exec a new copy of Ant solely to execute this.

Hello Holger,
you can generate a XML file which will be basically a mini ant build file
<project name="generated">
<target name="sometarget">
<xslt ....
</xslt>
</target>
</project>
and get it started using the <ant/> task.
to generate the XML file you can use the XMLTask or use another stylesheet.
Regards,
Antoine

Invoking Ant XML fragments (Was:Re: Adding variable no of elements to task)

Hi Antoine,
after googling a bit, I found this:
http://www.oopsconsultancy.com/software/xmltask/#examples
=> It's possible to create an XML fragment describing the <xslt> task
(including the <param> elements for the stylesheet parameters)
But that leads me to a totally different question: Is it possible to
"invoke" such a dynamically created fragment (i.e. the <xslt> task is
invoked in a way as if the fragment were already contained in the Ant
file instead of being dynamically generated)?
(Reason why I'm asking is that I want to avoid - if possible - style breaks
by introducing beanshell code).
Thanks in advance for any info!
Kind regards,
Holger
