style task

[Olivier Prouvost <ol...@anyware-tech.com>]

With Ant1.2 I've really a problem to use the style task.

I want to process an  'A.xml' file with 'S.xsl' style sheet, and to put
result in 'B.java' destination file.

with a simple call to xalan, it would be :   xalan -IN A.xml -XSL S.xsl
-OUT B.java

with ant, it becomes quiet complex :

<style basedir="." destdir="." extension="java" processor="xalan"
includesfile="A.xml" style="S.xsl" />

The output trace is :

    [style] Transforming into /home/olivier
    [style] Loading stylesheet /home/olivier/S.xsl

There is no way to put a simple destination file.  NOTHING is generated
anywhere...!  Where is my result file ?

The only way I found to bypass this problem is to call xalan with a
direct java call  writing it on 2 heavy lines....

Did anybody work on this problem ?

Thanks

If you make that

<style basedir="." destdir="." extension="java" processor="xalan"
       includes="A.xml" style="S.xsl" />

does it work? includesfile is supposed to point to a file that
contains a list of include patterns, not to the files to include.

I don't have the correct environment to test what you are doing
(haven't been working with XSLT yet), if nobody else can help you,
please send whatever files I need (I can install Xalan myself, thanks
;-) to reproduce it and I'm going to give it a try.
