ENTITIES and transforming XML to XML/HTML using XSL

I am going absolutely nuts. When using XSL to transform an XML
file to HTML or another XML schema, critical entities dissappear.
For example:
<oldtag>press "any" key</oldtag>
will get rendered to
<newtag>press "any" key</newtag>
by the XML/XSL parser, which is not valid HTML or XML.
How do I preserve these entities through the transformation
process. Escaping the text (in the XML source) with <![CDATA[]]
is not possible in this case.--Michael

Assuming you can't use a CDATA in the DTD to prevent parsing,
then my suggestion would be to use the XSL stylesheet to restore
the entities as there is no way that I am aware of that will set
conditional expansion.

Must be something wrong with your XSL.
However apparently it was so urgent that you didn't have the time to look at what you posted. They just "fixed" the forum software and apparently it doesn't escape HTML that you type in any more. Or stuff that looks like HTML, either. So your post was unreadable.
If your deadline hasn't passed, try reposting that code surrounded by [pre] and [/pre].

Write and transform to String XML

I have a big trable.
I dinamicly generate XML File and try to transform it to String. I use standart toString() method for root Element of XML Document.
My data are in Windows-1251 encoding, but result String is in UTF-8 encoding.
When I write dinamicly generated XML Document in File.
I set encoding Windows-1251, but result is in UTF-8.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

Well, regarding file encodings Java has a history and so does MS-Windows. I don't know all the details for the Russian (let's rather use the term Cyrillic from now on) encodings but I went through a similar problem with German and iso-8859-1 encoding. The problem was similar in that some characters above 127 got displayed as '?'.
Java uses a default encoding which changed in versions later than 1.1.7 from iso-8859-1 to CP1252 (I assume that for Cyrillic that translates to iso-8859-5 and cp1251, respectively).
Windows and DOS have a whole list of changes with respect to Cyrillian encodings: CP855, CP866 and finally CP1251, which is incompatible with both iso-8859-5 and ISO-IR-111 (aka KOI8).
Since your characters are displayed as '?' it's very unlikely you'll see a UTF-8 encoding in your output file (with all due respect), it rather seems to be a mismatch between one of the iso encodings and CP1251, that's my guess.
Anyways, let me describe my problem a bit, and hopefully you can deduce a solution for yours.
My XML file contained character 129 (that's a u with two dots on top) and displaying as well as writing that character to a file put a '?' in its place. DOS ASCII editors (as well as older Windows editors) use iso-8859-1 and display and input character 129 correctly and when I used JSDK1.1.6 everything was fine. Now, Java assumes CP1251 and by forcing it to use iso-8859-1 I got input and output working just fine.
Since I don't have a Cyrillic Windows version at my disposal I can't find out which encoding will work for you, but it has to do with the default encoding Java is using, not so much with the XML and its parsing.
You can use the following test program to find out what the correct settings are. Play with the encoding settings (CP8xx, iso-8859-5, CP1251) until both input and output files are identical and contain the correct characters.
import java.io.*;
class x{
   public static void main(String[] args)
      try
         InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("ascii.txt"), "iso-8859-1");
         OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("ascii_out.txt"), "iso-8859-1");
         char[] buf=new char[1024];
         int n;
         while((n=isr.read(buf,0,1024))!=-1)
            osw.write(buf,0,n);
         isr.close();
         osw.close();
      catch(Exception e)
         e.printStackTrace();
}If you still have problems, please provide more information:
1. encoding attribute you're setting in the XML file
2. the default file encoding of your Java version (a system property) + JSDK version
3. XML parser vendor + version
4. What you exactly mean by "transform" (XSLT ? just outputting ?)
5. Some code samples might help, too.
Hope that helps,
Good luck.

How to validate and transform large (180M) xml files

Hi:
I've been looking at various ways to do this with oracle and am getting a bit lost in the sea of documentation and different ways to go about this. I was hoping that something like the XMLParser class and XMLTransform would be smart enough to handle large files by using SAX when it has to but I'm getting "too many nodes" when trying to transform a really large file. I've gotten oraxsl to handle it if I pass in the proper memory parameters on the command line but a) this will still have limits and b) I was trying to do this in a stored procedure which (I think) means I'm looking at XMLParser?
I've also seen documentation on something called "Scalable DOM" but I think that's only in 11g? So I'm thinking I have to write a (Java?) stored procedure to loop through the top elements of this XML file (select extract(...)) and transform each node?
I have the XML, XSD, and XSLT all in clob columns. What's the easiest/quickest path within Oracle to validate the XML against the xsd and translate source XML with XSL?
I'm using Oracle 10gR2 on RH Linux.
Thanks.

So I'm thinking I have to write a (Java?) stored procedure to loop through the top elements of this XML file (select extract(...)) and transform each node? Here's something I've written a while back when I hit the same restrictions ("too many nodes") on 10.2.0.4.
It takes XMLType as input parameters (but it's easy to adapt for CLOB), and streams the transformed XML directly into a file :
create or replace and compile java source named ora_xslt_util as
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.*;
import oracle.xdb.XMLType;
import java.io.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
public class oraXSL
private static XMLDocument getXMLDocument(XMLType xml) throws Exception
    XMLDocument doc = null;
    DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
    parser.setValidationMode(oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParser.NONVALIDATING);
    parser.setPreserveWhitespace(true);
    parser.parse(new StringReader(xml.getStringVal()));
    doc = parser.getDocument();
    return doc;
public static void transform(XMLType doc, XMLType xsl, String filename) throws Exception
    OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(filename);
    XMLDocument xmldoc = getXMLDocument(doc);
    XMLDocument xsldoc = getXMLDocument(xsl);
    XSLProcessor xsp = new XSLProcessor();
    XSLStylesheet xss = xsp.newXSLStylesheet(xsldoc);
    xsp.processXSL(xss, xmldoc, os);
    os.close();
}and the PL/SQL wrapper (originally part of a package) :
PROCEDURE processXSL (
   p_xmldoc IN XMLType
, p_xsldoc IN XMLType
, p_filename IN VARCHAR2
IS
LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'oraXSL.transform(oracle.xdb.XMLType,oracle.xdb.XMLType,java.lang.String)'

How to display xml to html using xsl?

hi all...may i know how to display xml to html page?
i ve included <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" /> inside my xsl file. i clicked on output.xml file and everything is displayed correctly but the format is xml instead of html. is there anyway to transform it to html?
below are my xsl and xml codes:
// xsl file
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h2>Document Contents</h2>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
     <th align="center">Document Name</th>
     <th align="center">Document ID</th>
     <th align="center">Owner</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="Document/Contents">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="DocumentName"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="DocumentID"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Originator"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
// xml file
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="xsltStyleSheet.xsl"?>
<Document>
     <Contents>
          <DocumentName>register</DocumentName>
          <DocumentID>1</DocumentID>
          <Originator>hhh</Originator>
     </Contents>
</Document>
</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>

your XSL transforms to HTML (in fact XHTML): what more do you expect? did you expected anything different from the following output? if yes: what and why?
<html>
     <body>
          <h2>Document Contents</h2>
          <table border="1">
               <tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
                    <th align="center">Document Name</th>
                    <th align="center">Document ID</th>
                    <th align="center">Owner</th>
               </tr>
               <tr>
                    <td>register</td>
                    <td>1</td>
                    <td>hhh</td>
               </tr>

The concept is the same as BPEL. Without going into too much detail have a look at the folowing tutorial.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28212/buildendtoend.htm#BEICEFJD
Near the bottom they show how to do transformations.

Unique encoding transformation using XSL

i know that when u use xsl to trnsform XML, the standart say it support UTF-8/16
for example in hebrew there are encoding that are not included in UTF-8/16.
is there any option that during the prosses of transformation, the XSL will know whats the local encoding the system it works on and transform by it.
tank's
d'

XSL is specified at a model above the character encoding layer, so it shouldn't matter what the input encoding is.
<xsl:output encoding="whatever"/> should do you for encoding the output.
It's unlikely that there are Hebrew characters that cannot be encoded in UTF-8; if they are, they are not Unicode, and so cannot be represented in any XML. Check that you're encoding the input document properly.

Help Please ! -- transform XML to HTML using xslt tag in JSP

Hello,
I have problem to do XSL transform in JSP.
I have an XSL : test.xsl
I have an XML : test.xml
In JSP I have:
<x:xslt media="html" xml="test.xml">
<x:stylesheet media="html" uri="test.xsl" />
</x:xslt>
But It doesn't work the way it suppose to. What is wrong in my code ? I followed the URL http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/xml/xml_apps.html
Thanks in advance,
Christina

Basically:
    try{
      //Setting up parameters.
      xml=new StreamSource(new File(xmlInput));
      xsl=new StreamSource(new File(xslInput));
      baos=new ByteArrayOutputStream();
      htmlResult=new StreamResult(baos);
      //Transform input(xml, xsl) onto html output.
      TransformerFactory tfactory=TransformerFactory.newInstance();
      Transformer transformer=tfactory.newTransformer(xsl);
      transformer.transform(xml, htmlResult);
      baos.writeTo(out);
      //System.err.println(htmlResult.getOutputStream().toString());
    catch(...){
    }I havent tested and I havent use this for a while, but I hope this can serve as a staring point.

Create an XML Document with HTML Entities?

I'm writing a program that uses SAX to parse an XML document and generate XHTML from it, but I would like the XML document to allow HTML entities, of course, in the XML markup.
Each time my parser gets to any entity at all it dies reporting an undefined entity.
Is there any way I can refer to the HTML entity DTD or perhaps, in my own DTD, copy and paste the HTML entities? How would I make a reference like this in my XML document?
Thanks

Seems to me you would just put something like<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">before your root element. Or whichever DTD you actually want. I found out about them here:
http://www.utoronto.ca/webdocs/HTMLdocs/HTML_Spec/html.html

How do I generate HTML from XML & XSL using XSL Processor ?

I want to generate a HTML from XML & XSL using XDK for C on
linux-8i.
I run the XSLSample well.
But it only generate a XML from a XML & a XSL.
Can any one give me some advise or sample code?

Just use HTML tags instead of xml tags in your stylesheet, and
you'll generate HTML instead.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
    <html>

              <tr>
                <td><xsl:value-of select="EMPNO"/></td>
                <td><xsl:value-of select="ENAME"/></td>

XML page cannot be displayed cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet Please correct the error and then click the REfresh

Is the error message displayed in Firefox or in IE, or in a customized window that doesn't identify the browser?
''If it displays in Firefox:''
It's possible that the Troubleshooter doesn't work correctly unless IE is your default browser. You could test that possibility by having IE make itself the default and testing the Troubleshooter again.
''If it displays in IE or embedded in another Microsoft application:''
In a web search I found these suggestions:
(1) Reset your Internet Explorer settings, according to http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie8-windows_7/cannot-view-xml-using-xsl-style-sheet/ccfe80c6-c0db-4594-a7e3-475f9eac0e85
(2) Try the System File Checker, according to http://ask-leo.com/why_do_i_get_the_xml_page_cannot_be_displayed_after_running_a_microsoft_troubleshooter.html
Any luck?
