global variables (parameters)

["Roper, John" <Jo...@iOra.com>]

Hi,

I am setting some global variables using
XSLTEngineImpl::setStylesheetParam(name,value). I want to include an
apostrophe in the value, but I can't seem to get this to work. I've tried:

1) passing 'fred's machine'. Blows up due to uneven '.
2) passing 'fred's machine'. Does not convert the escaped char? Sounds
wrong to me - is this a bug?

Is this a bug? Should I be escaping the ' differently?

Thanks
John Roper

DOCTYPE not appearing in Xalan Serializer output

[Rick Bullotta <Ri...@lighthammer.com>]

Could be a usage issue or "undocumented feature" we're missing...basically
creating an in-memory DOM, then trying to serialize it using the Xalan
Serializer (note: the Xerces serializer works fine).  First glance at the
Xalan source didn't yield any immediate indications as to why it wouldn't be
working.

===================

Here's a code snippet to reproduce:

DocumentImpl doc = new DocumentImpl();

// Add DTD information

String strDocType = "MyDocType";

DocumentType dtd = doc.createDocumentType(strDocType,null,LOCALHOST_PATH +
Constants.DTD_STORAGE_SUBDIRECTORY + strDocType +
Constants.DTD_FILE_EXTENSION);

doc = new DocumentImpl(dtd);

// Create the root element and add it to the tree

Element root =  doc.createElement(strDocType);
doc.appendChild(root);


Serializer serializer =
SerializerFactory.getSerializer(OutputProperties.getDefaultMethodProperties(
"xml"));
serializer.setWriter(System.out);
serializer.asDOMSerializer().serialize(doc);

RE: existance of a file

[Christian Aberger <xm...@Aberger.at>]

Hi !

This is definitly not a question that should be posted here, I suppose it is
a question for the xslt mailing list. Please ask there the next time.

I suppose you use xalan to transform some xml - document that contains the
path to the image to transform it to html, right ?

something like:

<image path="/usr/share/htdocs/images/sample.jpg"/>

then you need in the stylesheet a sequence like:
<xsl:if test="string-length(image/@path)=0">
	<img alt="blah blah blah..." src="/usr/share/htdocs/images/default.jpg"/>
</xsl:if>

Subject: existance of a file


hello.

i have a page that displays an image (among other things).  if the image is
removed from the filesystem, i would like to display an alternate image.
can xsl help me, or should i check for the existance of the file in the back
end (java)?

thanks
