Produce an independent xml archive from another xml
Hi all again!
Is there anyway to produce an XML archive from
another XML within an XSL. The example I wrote:
XML File (proverbs.xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="proverbs.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<?cocoon-process type="xslt"?>
<proverbs>
<pro>
Poverty is the mother of all arts.
</pro>
<pro>
If you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.
</pro>
<pro>
There's many a good tune played on an old fiddle.
</pro>
<pro>
Of evil grain, no good seed can come.
</pro>
<pro>
That's the thanks you get.
</pro>
<pro>
Words hurt more than swords.
</pro>
<pro>
Once in a while never hurt anyone.
</pro>
<pro>
Many a true word is spoken in jest.
</pro>
<pro>
God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb.
</pro>
<pro>
Where there's a sweet, there's always a bitter.
</pro>
<pro>
In many words, a lie or two may escape.
</pro>
<pro>
A man's house is his castle.
</pro>
</proverbs>
XSL File (proverbs.xsl)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xslt/java" exclude-result-prefixes="java" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="proverbs">
<xsl:processing-instruction name="cocoon-format">type="text/html"</xsl:processing-instruction>
<html>
<head>
<title>Random Proverbs</title>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:variable name="pro" select="count(pro)" />
<center>
There are <b><xsl:value-of select="$pro" /></b> proverbs in the list.
<br />
<br />
<xsl:for-each select="pro">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." />
<br />
</xsl:for-each>
<br />
</center>
<xsl:variable name="Rand" select="java:java.util.Random.new()" />
<xsl:variable name="result" select="ceiling(count(pro) * java:nextDouble($Rand))" />
<center><big><b>Selected Proverb</b></big></center>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$result = 0">
<p>
<center><b><xsl:value-of select="pro[1]" /></b></center>
</p>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<p>
<center><b><xsl:value-of select="pro[$result]" /></b></center>
</p>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
Concerning this examples, is anyway to get outputed to another independent
XML file the result of the random selection, instead of getting the result in the
same xml file?¿ I mean producing an independent proverb1.xml file, i.e.
Could anyone point me in the right way to achieve it?¿
