How to generate HTML from XML and XSL?

Hi all,
I am new to XML.
Can I somehow see the HTML-Output of the XML-File, when I have the XSL-File too, but don't use any XML-Editor (XMLSpy) and FOP? I do not want use any additional tools - only the database tools.
What I need for this?
Do I need the XSLT-File too?
I am waiting for your answers, when possible with examples please.
Regards
Leonid Pavlov

Please post on the General XML forum.

    Hi,
    Follow the simple steps.
    1) Create XML Document (I hope u have it)
    2) Create XSL Stylesheet for your XML document
    3) Put both files in one directory some where in your local system or web server upto u
    4) Invoke the XML document from webbrowser and you are done.
    http://localhost/test/Catalog.xml OR C:\XXXXDIR\test\Catalog.xml
    For Ex: XML File Content, Catalog.xml
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="Catalog.xsl"?>
    <catalog>
    <cd>
    <title>Empire Burlesque</title>
    <artist>Bob Dylan</artist>
    <country>USA</country>
    <company>Columbia</company>
    <price>10.90</price>
    <year>1985</year>
    </cd>
    </catalog>
    XSL File Content: Catalog.xsl
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

  • How To Generate Objects From XML and DTD?

    Are there tools to generate objects from dtd's and xml files?
    If this is not possible for some reason: is there a tool to generate classes from a dtd?
    I can not find the "XML Java Class Generator" (from oracle) anymore.

    There are other solutions, but I know this one is pretty good.

  • 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

    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.

    <xl>

    Hi
    Thanks for your help but I really didn;t found what I'm lookin for in this page.
    This page explains how xslt transform xml in xhtml. I know this point, I want to know HOW could I make it from my application. I guess there are a transform class that could generate html from a xsl template, but I couldn't find the way to do it and couldn't find examples too.

  • Generating PDF with XML and XSL

    Hi, quick basic question...
    I'm trying to generate pdf doc from xml with xsl.
    I'm using following sample code from xml.apache.org
    response.setContentType("application/pdf");
    Driver driver =new Driver();
    driver.setOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
    driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
    Transformer transformer=TransformerFactory.newInstance()
    .newTransformer(new StreamSource("foo.xsl"));
    transformer.transform(xmlsource, new SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler()));
    xmlSource is my regular xml that wants to be pdf.
    is foo.xsl any regular xsl that I use to coonvert xml into html?
    or is it some special xsl that is tailored for pdf.
    Is this what is called xsl-fo?
    Thanks
    IL

    Hi IL,
    XSLT can translate XML to something else. It is most suited to transforming to another tree-like format (XML, HTML, etc.) but can be 'asked' to produce other kinds of output, flat text for example.
    It is driven by an XSL file which is a series of patterns to match and output to produce.
    This XSL file can be used to generate another XML document in which the nodes come from the Formatting Object namespace. These describe, in generic terms the format of an output document based upon the contents of the original XML.
    The formatting object XML document can then be used as input to a formatting object XML processor which can generate PDF output from it.
    You may want to check out:
    www.w3c.org
    for all the stuff on XML, XSL, XSLT, Formatting Objects, etc., and:
    xml.apache.org
    for imformation on Xalan, which is an XSL processor and FOP, which is a formatting object processor.
    Hope that helps,
    Peter.

  • How to fetch data from XML and store it in internal table

    Hi All,
    Can anyone help me out, in fetching data from xml and store it in an internal table. Is there any standard function module is there?
    Regards,
    Karthick

    to do this you can either develop a XSLT program and use it with CALL TRNSFORMATION key word to tranform the XML into itab .
    (search the ABAP General forum, i have posted few samples)
    or simply use the following FM which converts your XML into a itab of name value pair (name would holw the element name and value would hold the value of the element) which you can then loop and read it to your itb.
    data:             xmldata type xstring .
    data: result_xml type standard table of smum_xmltb .
    data: return type standard table of bapiret2 .
    CALL FUNCTION 'SMUM_XML_PARSE'
      EXPORTING
        xml_input       = xmldata
      TABLES
        xml_table       = result_xml
        return          = return .

  • How to generate PDF from XML output without XML publisher

    Hi,
    I am facing a problem while splitting the rdf generated XML output.
    Problem Description:
    I have a oracle invoice report which runs once every day (scheduled program). This report fetches me the invoices generated on that day and needs to be Mailed / Faxed to the customers.
    So i developed the report in such a way that it generates the output order by customers...since the output generated will be as one .out file in APPLCSF/out directory...the .out file needs to be splitted by customers, for which i have written a cursor which takes the data of the main query and submits that many requests as many as customers are there.....There is a possibility of having 1000 customers per day also. If that is the case then my main program will fire that many requests.
    Is there a different approach......any inputs are highly appreciated.
    Also, i am generating the output in XML format. Is there a way from which i can directly generate a PDF from that XML output rather using any other tool.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Lakshmi Kalyan Vara Prasad.

    Hi,
    with Reports Bursting and the defined "distributions" it's possible to have one report splittet to several parts with different receipients. Have a look at http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14504_01/dl/bi/B13673_01/pbr_dist.htm.
    With xsl-fo it's possible to create pdf out of xml ... that's what xml publisher is doing.

  • How to generate WSDL from XML Schema?

    What are reasonable strategies, both direct and indirect, to generate a WSDL from
    an XML Schema describing our messages? I'd prefer a more direct route, but I'd
    like to understand the various choices. We're currently using WLP8.1SP2.

    Hi David,
    There is a "start from schema" example that Manoj built [1] that could
    be a good choice for determining your development path.

  • JSF, tiles, xml and xsl

    Good days people, I am employed at an app that wants to integrate JSF, tiles, xml and xsl.
    Basically the app receives information of the user's interfaz, builds an url with the above mentioned information and invokes to a service web that a xml returns with the information. The idea is to generate the exit in format html or wml with an insole(staff) xsl and to send the result in this format to every jsp that is going to form a part of the page that it will generate tiles. at first I understand that it is feasible, i�d like to know if someone already has done it and since it has done it.
    Just now what I have is a managed bean that receives the parameters of the altar frontal and invokes a method of a service, like this:
    public String encuentra(){
    //deja los atributos privados rellenos.
    String mensaje ;
    crearYRellenarBusquedaVO();
    try {
    setResultado(this.getServicio().obtenerResultadosWML(this.getBusquedaVO()));
    mensaje="succesNoJS";
    }catch(java.lang.IllegalArgumentException e){
    mensaje="error";
    }catch(es.yell.frontlite.exceptions.SrvBusquedaNoxtrumServiceException e1){
    mensaje="error";
    }catch(Exception e2){
    mensaje="error";
    return mensaje;
    public String obtenerResultadosWML(es.yell.frontlite.service.impl.BusquedaVO busquedaVO){

    "Error ejecutando el servicio String obtenerResultadosJSdesactivado(es.yell.frontlite.service.impl.BusquedaVO busquedaVO). " + e.getCause(),e);

    has produced such a useful series of classes...

  • Cannot view PDF created by passing xml and XSL-FO using UTL_HTTP

    Hi,
    Using UTL_HTTP Iam trying to contact a servlet which uses the input XML and XSL/FO to produce a PDF.However, when I run the procedure , I get the following error 'File does not begin with -%PDF' ? I checked the output on the console and the blob values does not start with %PDF . Below is the sample from my code , please let me know if Iam commiting a mistake somewhere. I confirmed that the servlet itself is working fine by confirming with test webpage that takes xml and stylesheet input and generates a PDF when 'submitted' to servlet on the click of a button.

    Hello guys! I have been assigned the same task,i.e to generate pdf through xml using xsl stylesheet.
    I have a procedure which is creating the xml and the stylesheet. But I have no idea how to write the procedure which passes this xml to fo engine. I am very new to this. Can anyone please share your thoughts with me so as how to accomplish this? By reading blogs on internet I figured I would have to use UTIL_HTTP but don't know how.

  • Generating HTML from Structured FrameMaker 9

    Hi,
    My source files are in Structured FrameMaker 9. I need to generate the output in HTML format. Is there a method to do this? Can someone guide me through the process of generating an HTML output?
    Regards,
    Manish

    Hi Manish,
    You have a number of options. I'll briefly summarize a few, but all of them involve some measure of complexity so I wouldn't be able to "guide you through" any of them.
    - Use a third-party product specifically designed for this, such as Omni Systems' Mif2Go, Quadralay ePublisher, or Adobe Robohelp. If you buy the Adobe TechComm Suite, Robohelp is included. All of these products can convert any FrameMaker document to HTML, with varying levels of additional functionality related to the subsequent generation of common online help formats with that HTML.
    - Save your structured files to XML and then use XSLT as a post-process on that XML. This is the more complex option, but if you have the skills, it may be more attractive since you may not have to buy anything and you'll be able to easily customize the process however you want it.
    - Use the DITA structure definitions within FrameMaker, then use the DITA Open Toolkit as a post-process to generate HTML from the DITA XML. There is lots of complexity with this as well, but it has some attractiveness as the DITA structured applications and open toolkit are effectively off-the-shelf software. Additionally, everything is free, unless you want to enhance your DITA experience with a third-party addon like DITA FMx from Leximation (recommended).
    - Use XHTML as your structure definition within FrameMaker, then save as XML. You'll automatically have HTML when you save your files. FrameMaker includes a structure application for XHTML but I've never used it, so I don't know how well it works. With this option, you would have a more WYSIWYG conveniences while authoring but less control over variations in the HTML output.
    There may be more and there certainly are any myriad of combinations of these techiniques. Hopefully this will help get you started. If you did buy the TechComm Suite, consider RoboHelp as a starting point since you already paid for it. The third-party product route is the most expensive in terms of software purchasing, but it is usually the least complex.
    One additional note - You will see "Save As HTML" or similar somewhere in the FM menus. It is a very rudimentary feature that is not likely to serve your needs. Might be worth a try since it is already there, but don't get your hopes up on that one.
    Good luck,
    Russ

  • Append Child symbols from XML and more

    Hello,
    I am trying to dynamically create set of symbols and change their contents from an XML
    I've managed to get the XML part and creating the Div dynamically.
    What I didn't got is how to apply data from XML to inner symbol divs
    such as <name>something</name> from the XML to text div in EDGE
    is there a way to control/access the newly created Symbols?
    Attaching the project so far.

    Thanks for your Help.

    ==> Positioning a Dynamically Created Symbol
    Well,
    To change the entire instance, you use: .getSymbolElement().css(...)
    To change an instance element, you use: .$("elementName").css(...)
    $(xml).find('listing').each( function(){
                    var itemRenderer = sym.createChildSymbol("itemRenderer", "xmlContainer");
                    itemRenderer.getSymbolElement().css("display": "inline-block");
                    itemRenderer.$('name').html($(this).find('name').text());
                    itemRenderer.$('textBox').html($(this).find('text').text()).css("color","white");
