entity-encoded XML
Hi, there may be a simple answer to this but I have not found anything.
I have an XML file that is entity-encoded (see below) which I want to
transform into an HTML file using Xalan. What would be the best way to make
Xalan read the XML file?
Sample XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="SalesToHTML.xsl"
type="text/xsl" ?>
<!-- SalesReport.xml -->
<SalesReport>
<Company>XMML.com</Company>
<Period>2001-2002</Period>
<Sales Region="EU">50,000</Sales>
<Sales Region="NA">150,000</Sales>
<Sales Region="AU">10,000</Sales>
</SalesReport>

Have the extension run it through a DOM parser and return the root node. I
don't remember offhand whether Xylem will consider that a nodeset or an
RTF; if the latter, you'll have to use the exslt node-set extension to put
it into a form Xalan can apply XPaths to.

Hi,
You could build a DOM from the string and pass back the root node. The
valid return types for extension functions are listed here:
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensions.html#ext-functions.
Thanks.

Re: entity-encoded XML
I have made a little progress actually. I now have an Xalan extension
that
takes in the encoded data as a String and then on that String I replace
all
the encoded characters with the corresponding <, >, ". The problem now is
that I need to return the data as something the stylesheet can use to
select
values from. Any ideas?

Re: entity-encoded XML
Posted by Erin Harris <eh...@ca.ibm.com>.
Hi,
You might want to post this to the xerces mailing list:
j-users@xerces.apache.org, as they might have some other ideas.
One suggestion is to wrapper the xml file with a start and end tag and
then parse it, providing your own ContentHandler which has the following:
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
public void characters(char[] arg0, int arg1, int arg2) throws
SAXException {
buffer.append(arg0, arg1, arg2);
}
When I ran this against the following input:
<root>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="SalesToHTML.xsl"
type="text/xsl" ?>
<!-- SalesReport.xml -->
<SalesReport>
<Company>XMML.com</Company>
<Period>2001-2002</Period>
<Sales Region="EU">50,000</Sales>
<Sales Region="NA">150,000</Sales>
<Sales Region="AU">10,000</Sales>
</SalesReport>
</root>
My string buffer contained:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="SalesToHTML.xsl"
type="text/xsl" ?>
<!-- SalesReport.xml -->
<SalesReport>
<Company>XMML.com</Company>
<Period>2001-2002</Period>
<Sales Region="EU">50,000</Sales>
<Sales Region="NA">150,000</Sales>
<Sales Region="AU">10,000</Sales>
</SalesReport>
The value of the string buffer can then itself be parsed.
