Create XML or Create XSL? Output HTML

Which is the most logical/fastest solution? Creating a dynamic XML Document by an XSQL query and apply a master stylesheet to obtain HTML output, or Create a dynamic stylesheet(XML Document) and apply to a master XML Document to obtain HTML?
Any suggestions or direction to this question would be of great help.

IMO here the shorter path:
- Designs your web page, with your favorite HTML tool, for example Dreamweaver.
- Converts it with XSplit[url] utility from. It takes a standard html file with special tags for making dynamically generated tags, and generates the XSL,the XML example and the DTD.
- At last, make the xsql page which generate the same XML generated by the XSplit as demo.

Xsl:output function fully implemented in XSL-processor?

I'm using XSL-processor as contained in the XML-parser version 2.0.2 in C.
When changing the referring DTD of an incoming XML-message with following XSL-stylesheet
<xsl:output method="xml"/>
<xsl:output ommit-xml-declaration="no"/>
<xsl:output standalone="no"/>
<xsl:output doctype-system="someOther.dtd"/>
nothing seems to happen.
Is <xsl:output> already fully implemented in this C-version of the XSL-processor?
Erwin

Hi,
The xsl:output is not yet implemented. This was specified in the README file.

While creating the template, I have chosen the template type XSL-XML. I am trying to test this on E-business Suite (R12).
I get the error "The uploaded file TEST_temp.xsl is invalid. The file should be in XSL format."
Where am I going wrong?
I am trying to create Excel XML spreadsheets, because the excel files created using RTF templates are very huge in size. And it is taking an unacceptable amount of time to open the file. Is there any other solution to overcome this performance issue?

Nishka,
Looks like your XSL stylesheet is missing the XML header at the top.
So normally it would look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet....>
</xsl:stylesheet>
as an Example a stylesheet which just outputs a field:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xdoxslt="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/oracle.apps.xdo.template.rtf.XSLTFunctions">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text>My field:</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="MYFIELD"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

How to create multiple output files using TrAX?

I am new in this field. I'm trying to create multiple xml output files using TrAX. I have to parse a xml source file and output it to multiple xml files. My problem is that it only creates one output file and puts all the parsed data there. When i use saxon and run xsl and xml files, it works fine and creates multiple files...it has something to do with my java code...Any help is greatly appreciated.

Saxon has specific extensions. In this case it is <xsl:document>. That looks like a standard XSLT element, but it actually isn't. The history behind it is this: There was a proposal to create a new version of XSLT, called XSLT 1.1. One of the new features of this version was to be this xsl:document element. The author of the Saxon product, Michael Kay, is one of the people on the W3C committee directing the evolution of XSLT, so he upgraded his product to implement XSLT 1.1. But then the committee decided to drop XSLT 1.1 as a recommendation. So that left Saxon in the strange position of implementing a non-existent extension to XSLT.
The other outcome of this process was that XSLT (1.0) does not have a way of producing more than one output file from an input file. And so the short answer to your question is "Trax can't do that." However, XSLT 2.0 will be able to do that, although it is not yet a formal W3C recommendation, and when it does become one it will take a while before there are good implementations of it. (I predict that Saxon will be the first good implementation.)
One of the problems with XML and XSLT is that what you knew a year ago is probably obsolete now, because of all the evolution going on. So being new in the field is not a disadvantage, unless you get stung by reading obsolete tutorials or magazine articles.

REPLY to xsl:output method="html" posting

Due to a problem with the discussion software, I cannot reply to postings
with a less-than sign in the Subject!
As you can imagine in an XML forum where
angle-brackets are common, this is a real
pain! The OTN guys tell me they are
working on a solution.
We fully support all options of <xsl utput>
The problem here is that your XSL Stylesheet must be a well-formed XML document, so everywhere you are using the <BR> element, you need to use
instead.
<xsl utput method="html"/> requests
that when the XSLT Engine writes out
the result of your transformation,
is a propert HTML document.
what the XSLT engine reads in must
be well-formed XML.

Sorry for jumping in on this thread, but I have a question regarding you reply. I have an XSL stylesheet that preforms XML to HTML conversion. Everything works correctly with the exception of those HTML tags that are not weel formed. Using your example if I have something like:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<input type="text" name="{NAME}" size="{DISPLAY_LENGTH}" maxlength="{LENGTH}"></input>
</xsl:stylesheet>
It would render HTML in the format of
<HTML>
<input type="text" name="in1" size="10" maxlength="20"/>
</HTML>
While IE can handle this Netscape can not. Is there anyway to generate completely cross browser complient HTML with XSL?
Thanks!

I want XSLT do not create any output file

I have a xslt file.
<xsl:variable name="var:InValidReceiptCount">
.... In here. I want xslt do not create any output file, also an empty file
</xsl:variable>
Thanks for helping :)

If you can tell us your application scenario and why you are trying to control the output name only with xslt, then we can drive you towards correct direction. Remember you cannot control output path with xslt.
if you are using bizTalk, you have to use xslt with maps and set the output path at ports
if you are using .net, you have to control it from your dotnet code.
Xslt alone cannot control the output path.

Question about creating multiple output files from same query

I have a query like this:
select * from emp;
ename empno deptno
Scott 10001 10
Tiger 10002 10
Hanson 10003 20
Jason 10004 30
I need to create multiple output files in xml format for each dept
example:
emp_dept_10.xml
emp_dept_20.xml
emp_dept_30.xml
each file will have the information for employees in different departmemts.
The reason I need to do this is to avoid executing the same query 200 times for generating the same output for different departments. Please let me know if it is practically possible to do this.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!!

You can write a shell script to generate the multiple spools files for the same output. Below script may helps you.
#====================
#!/bin/bash
n=0
while [ $n -le 20 ]
do
n=`expr $n + 1`
sqlplus -s system/manager <<EOF
spool emp_dept_$n.xml
select count(1) from tab;
spool off
EOF
done
#====================

Input = XML...Output = HTML....doable?

What I am looking for is a technology that can read an XML file and build a custom html file based on what is in the XML file. The HTML file will of course have to have the proper tags etc and have to be smart enough to build two columns. Or, it can just build a file with the info in <table> tags which I can later just copy and paste into an HTML file. Is this possible? If so, any examples out there?

you can solve your problem with the help of java, but it indeed soun ds like task for XSL/XSLT.
XSL/XSLT may be used from within java, or with the aid of any other tool available out there (i myself have used xsltproc on commandline -- it's a part of libxslt)
here are some links for you to get a hang of XSLT
http://www.nwalsh.com/docs/tutorials/xsl/xsl/frames.html
http://incrementaldevelopment.com/xsltrick/
http://wwbota.free.fr/XSLT_models/HTMLtable2XML.xslt
http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XSLTutorial/Output/index.html
basically you can transform XML documents to any form descrribed by XSLT stylesheet, and for doing that transform you need some program that takes both, your stylesheet and xml document and then produces a output, which may be XML/HTML or watever document you would like it to be...

Xmltype.transform and xsl:output method="html"

any ideas or hints to more info?

xsl:output method="html"/ - supported?

Is the otutput method "html" supported in
the recent version of the XML/XSL parser?
I was trying to use the <BR> tag with the
<xsl utput method="xml"/> declaration but
I got an XSLException error message
indicating a not well-formed XML document.
Then I tried the following output method
declaration: <xsl utput method="html"/>
but I got the same result?!
Here's a simple XSL stylesheet I was using:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl utput method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML>
<HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>
Blah blah<BR>
More blah blah<BR>
</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>
My question is: "How do I use a not
well-formed tags (like <IMG>, <BR>, etc.)
in a XSL stylesheet?"
Thank you very much in advance!
Cheers.

Xsql servlet: creating pdf output

hello,
is it possible to create pdf output with the xsql servlet???
i know that html is possible. i'm a beginner..
thanks
cleo

Birgit,
There was a bug with some german printer drivers where if you printed a report to that driver, afterwards you would see this behaviour with PDF output. This was fixed in an earlier 6i patch set. I would suggest that you download the latest 6i patchset from metalink and install that.

I keep getting this error in Dreamweaver when I am trying to upload my website? Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? here is the error message: /html - error occurred - Unable to create remote folder /html. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured. File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed. Files with errors: 1 /html

Nobody can tell you anything without knowing exact site and server specs, but I would suspect that naming the folder "html" wasn't the brightest of ideas, since that's usually a default (invisible) folder name existing somewhere on the server and the user not having privileges to overwrite it.

Creating a small HTML-Editor using JEditorPane

Hello! I'm trying to create a small HTML-Editor. Via this editor users shall be capable to create formatted text (bold, italic, underlined, different sizes, different fonts, different colors). Furthermore, if the user pushes the enter-button a new line-break (<br>) shall be inserted. Basically my editor is working but with some big problems:
1. When I create an instance of my editor, I initialize it with some html-code.
this.m_EditorPane.setText("<html><head></head><body></body></html>"); Without this initialization between the <body> and </body> <p> and </p> will be inserted, what I don't want. But if I push now the enter-button at the beginning, <br>-tag will not be inserted in the <body>-area but in the <head>-area.
2. Styling text is working really good, but when I insert a line-break (via enter-button), the <br>-tag is inserted after the (e.g.) closing bold-tag (</b>). So, in the next line, this style-property must be reselected.
Can anybody help me to change this behavior?
Kind regards, Stefan
P.S. The way I insert the <br>-tag:
JEditorPane editor = getEditor(ae);
HTMLDocument doc = getHTMLDocument(editor);
HTMLEditorKit kit = getHTMLEditorKit(editor);
editor.replaceSelection("");
int offset = editor.getCaretPosition();
kit.insertHTML(doc, offset, "<br>", 0, 0, HTML.Tag.BR);
editor.getCaret().setDot(editor.getCaretPosition());P.P.S. Sorry for my bad english :-/

check your output definition....are you doing something like below? SAP will transfer 1024 bytes per line with GUI_DOWNLOAD.    After you download, how do you view the data? Be sure you're looking at the data with something that will show all 1024 bytes, and not jsut 256 or 512.
