Class XSLTUtilities

java.lang.Object

ptolemy.util.XSLTUtilities

public class XSLTUtilities
extends java.lang.Object

A collection of utilities for manipulating strings using XSLT. These utilities do not depend on any other ptolemy.* packages.

This file uses Saxon, the XSLT and XQuery Processor http://saxon.sourceforge.net.

Between Java 1.4.x and Java 1.5, Xalan was removed from the jar files that are shipped. Since Caltrop uses Saxon anyway, we now use Saxon here as well.

Since:

Ptolemy II 2.1

Method Detail

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
                 throws java.lang.Exception

Apply XSL transforms to an input file and generate an output file.

Example use:

  java -classpath $PTII ptolemy.util.XSLTUtilities
       $PTII/ptolemy/hsif/demo/SwimmingPool/SwimmingPool.xml \
       $PTII/ptolemy/hsif/xsl/GlobalVariablePreprocessor.xsl \
       exportMoMLDTD \
       /tmp/SwimmingPool_1.xml
 

Parameters:

args - At least three arguments:

• The first argument is the input file name.
• The second through n-1 arguments are the named xsl files.
• The final argument is the output file name.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - If there are problems with the transform.

parse

public static org.w3c.dom.Document parse(java.lang.String filename)
                                  throws javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException,
                                         java.io.IOException

Parse an XML document using Saxon.

Parameters:

filename - The file name of the xml file to be read in The filename is passed to org.xml.sax.InputSource(String), so it may be a file name or a URL.

Returns:

the parsed document.

Throws:

javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException - If there is a problem creating the DocumentBuilder.

java.io.IOException - If the filename could not be parsed.

setExportDTD

public static void setExportDTD(boolean exportDTD)

Set the flag indicating whether to export DTD specification when transforming XML files. By default, the transformer does not export DTD.

Parameters:

exportDTD - True for export DTD, false for not.

toString

public static java.lang.String toString(org.w3c.dom.Document document)
                                 throws javax.xml.transform.TransformerException,
                                        java.io.IOException

Given a Document, generate a String.

Parameters:

document - The document to be converted to a string.

Returns:

A string representation of the Document.

Throws:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException - If there is a a problem creating a new Transformer or parser.

java.io.IOException - If there is a problem closing the output stream.

transform

public static org.w3c.dom.Document transform(org.w3c.dom.Document inputDocument,
                                             java.lang.String xslFileName)
                                      throws javax.xml.transform.TransformerException,
                                             java.io.IOException

Transform a document.

Parameters:

inputDocument - The Document to be transformed

xslFileName - The file name of the xsl file to be used. If the file cannot be found, then we look up the file in the classpath.

Returns:

a transformed document

Throws:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException - If there is a problem with the transform.

java.io.IOException - If there is a problem finding the transform file.

transform

public static org.w3c.dom.Document transform(org.w3c.dom.Document inputDocument,
                                             java.util.List xslFileNames)
                                      throws javax.xml.transform.TransformerException,
                                             java.io.IOException

Transform a document by applying a list of transforms.

Parameters:

inputDocument - The Document to be transformed

xslFileNames - A list of Strings naming the xsl files to be applied sequentially.

Returns:

a transformed document

Throws:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException - If there is a a problem creating a new Transformer or parser.

java.io.IOException - If there is a problem closing the output stream.

transform

public static void transform(java.lang.String input,
                             java.io.FileWriter fileWriter,
                             java.util.List xslFileNames)
                      throws javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException,
                             javax.xml.transform.TransformerException,
                             java.io.IOException

Transform a file by applying a list of XSL transforms.

Parameters:

input - The XML to be transformed

fileWriter - A FileWriter that will write to the MoML file. The caller of this method is responsible for closing the the FileWriter.

xslFileNames - A list of Strings naming the xsl files to be applied sequentially.

Throws:

javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException - If there is a problem creating the DocumentBuilder.

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException - If there is a a problem with the transform.

java.io.IOException - If there is a problem finding a transform file or applying a transform.
