Xalan and Mozilla

[st...@inwind.it]

Hi,
I'm working on the Mozilla's source code, I would insert Xalan and 
Xerces (C++ implementation).
I have written a function, in a VC6 project, that uses 
XSLTEngineImpl::process(&XMLSource, &XSLSource, OutputFile) to apply a 
XSL stylesheet to an xml file. This program works correctly.
Now, I have inserted this function in the Mozilla source code, but it 
doesn't work: the output file is empty. I have compiled the code using 
nmake. I used the option -Ic:\Xalan\src -Ic:\Xerces-C-src_1_0_1\src and 
I have linked all the library that I found in Xalan\bin.
Why the function I wrote doesn't work when it's compiled with the source 
code of Mozilla?
I have also another problem. I would apply one or more XSL stylesheet to 
an xml file using XSLTEngineImpl::process(&XMLSource, null, OutputFile). 
How should I write the xml-stylesheet processing instruction in the xml 
file?
I try using <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="file:///c:/foo.xsl" 
?> but the output file is empty. Why?
Thanks,
Simona

I believe it's because the first XSL pass reads the fist
 <?xml-stylesheet ... ?>
processing instruction, and applies the styleseet, while removing the
second one...

Try adding to your first stylesheet something like:

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>


This should copy the PI in the result of the first pass, then call
the processor once again using as source the result of the first
processing...

I have been fighting the same problems.  It seems that I haven't been able
to get the versions of xalan and xerces to compile against.
