RE: Writing resulting HTML into a buffer instead of to a file - N ewbie

[Da...@lotus.com]

Hi Andrew,

Well, your original message said nothing about writing to a DOMString, just
writing to some sort of buffer.  Why do you want to write to a DOMString?

Of course, you can create a DOMString from a const char*, so why not just
do the following:

   DOMString    theResultAsDOMString(theStream.str().c_str());

You might also do the following:

   #include <PlatformSupport/DOMStringPrintWriter.hpp>

   ...

   DOMStringPrintWriter    thePrintWriter;

   XSLTResultTarget        theTarget(&thePrintWriter);

   // Calling theTarget.getString() will return the result of the
   transform...

This will result in a UTF-16 string, so you'll need to transcode if you
need UTF-8.  I should warn you that writing directly to a DOMString is
likely to result in lousy performance, since DOMString is a pretty
inefficient beast, but I don't know this for sure.

In the future, please try to be more specific, as answering questions takes
away from the time we have to actually write the code.

Dave

Hello,

           I attempted to perform the transformation as you suggested but
ran into a problem. An error is generated after the following lines
// Our output target...
        stringstream              theStream;
        XSLTResultTarget          theResultTarget(&theStream);

The problem is that &theStream cannot be converted into a Domstring.  The
logic of what you are trying to attempt makes sense but just doesn't work.
Do i have to typecast this or make some other alterations??

Thanks

Andrew

Sorry,

           I'm using the C++ version of Xalan.

Thanks,
Andrew

If you tell us whether you're using the Java version or the C++ version of
Xalan, someone can answer the question.

Hey,

           I am trying to create HTML by combining XML in a buffer with a
XSL and have the results stored in a buffer.  Its running to this point but
the resulting HTML is being stored in a file.  The problem I am having is I
believe that this functionality isn't supported yet.  Has anyone attempted
this, if so could you please forward me some tips or some sample code.

Thanks in advance

Andrew Phillips
