JSP and XSLT

Hi all,
Is it possible to create JSP page with XSLT? e.g. tags of XSLT in the JSP will provide me a combox.
Thanks in advance all

Yes

HELP: JSP + XML + XSLT = HTML?

Hello, all.
I am trying out Weblogic 6 and I am trying to get the JSP + XML + XSLT =>
HTML chain working.
I am coming from using Orion and SAXON.. and in that situation I had a JSP
that contained XML tags... they were filled in at runtime and then using
Servlet-Chaining was passed along to the SAXON XSLT Processer. SAXON checked
for the inline XSL specified and then used that to transform the document
into HTML.
It worked well, but there were some other features missing/not documented
that we now need.
With Weblogic I am trying to use the XSLT Tag Library that comes with the
distribution, but it seems to be very finicky. I followed the directions and
I got it to do a sort of roundabout transformation. But it doesn't seem to
work quite right.
The best I can get is the following:
I have an 'xslt' directory url-pattern-mapped to xslt.jsp (as instructed)...
but can't figure out how to specify the xsl file on-the-fly... that is, if I
don't hard-code the XSL file in the x:xslt element in the xslt.jsp it
complains about some XML file not having a root element.
Ideal situation:
1. I have a JSP that includes XML elements.
2. It is filled from a database at runtime and specifys (using a PI) what
XSL stylesheet it is to be processed with.
3. Somehow (fingers crossed) the XML is processed and transformed into HTML
by the appropriate XSL file.
I think I am mostly stuck moving between steps 2 and 3.
Can anyone give me some hints? Are there some Weblogic specific
elements/tags that I have to include in the XML file that Weblogic will
catch and re-direct to the XSL Parser?
Please, anyone, if you have some information, I would much appreciate it.

Craig,
I've since discovered how to do it with the WL Taglibrary... and have
moved on =)
It has to do with the EXTREMELY BADLY documented x:xml tag that can
appear within the x:xslt tag body...
So the WL Tag Library allows something like the following.
(Please note, angled brackets are omitted in this post to prevent html
parsing)
[x:xslt stylesheet="sheet.xsl"]
[x:xml]
Here is the XML to run the sheet on.
This should have all relevant XML syntax: the PIs, the doctype,
root elements etc...
[x:xml]
[x:xslt]
And that DOES work. But not very well. WL, a little prematurely
incorporated versions 1.2 of Xerces and Xalan in their product -- and
these versions have some irritating bugs.
Also -- There tag library doesn't copy the source XML across as UTF-8
.. so a lot of the Japanese I have embedded there (from a DB) gets
mangled somewhere in their code...
AND -- If you hammer a little bit on an JSP/XML that uses the WL Tag
Library (eg clicking refresh lots of times in IE)... I get huge
amounts of irritating exceptions appearing in the log files.
NullPointerExceptions
XSL Parsing Exceptions
XML Parsing Exceptions
but completely unpredictably...
In my eyes.. the WL XML/XSL Tag Library using the incorporated and
untouchable Xalan and Xerces (v1.2) is virtually unusable.
What a pain.
BUT! Apache offers a similar OPEN SOURCE XSL Tag Library available
here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/xsl-doc/intro.html
And it uses the standard, non-weblogic-incorporated, Xerces and Xalan
(which means you can provide whatever version you want).. and it works
impressively well.
It has almost identical performance as the WL Taglib, and without all
of the bizarre exceptions being thrown.
And it does proper passing of the character encoding type!
If only the taglib did caching though =(
The performance hit over pure JSP is huge. Almost two orders of
magnitude. On my desktop box I can get around 500Requests/Sec if I am
returning HTML direct from a JSP... while if I produce XML that gets
processed by XSL into HTML the Requests/Sec drops to 5!!!!
Caching. Caching. And more Caching. A lot of DiskIO is going on with
the XML/XSL/XHTML chain of events.
I hope this helps!
I'd be curious as to what you find out as well.

Yep, I feel Dylan's pain.
I am trying to accomplish the same thing. A JSP page generating
dynamic XML content and then utilizing an XSLT stylesheet to transform
all the content into XHTML.
Does anyone have some examples that show exactly how to accomplish
this? Can I do this with WLS and the XML taglib that comes with
it? Or do I have to move on to something like Cocoon to get this
capability?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Passing parameters from jsp to xslt

Hi all,
I am trying to pass a variable string from a jsp to xslt .
This is the code in the jsp which passes the variables .
<c:set var="xsl">
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:import href="<%= "service_attribute.xsl" %>"/>
<xsl:variable name="ItemId"><%= ItemId %></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="pos"><%= pos %></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="lineInfoTn"><%= lineInfoTn %></xsl:variable>
</xsl:stylesheet>
</c:set>
<x:transform xmlSystemId="foo.xml" xslt="${xsl}">
<%= FM.getOrderBean().getXml("ActivationRequest") %>
</x:transform>
In the service_attribute.xsl I would like to be able to check the lineInfoTn variable for content .
something like this .
<xsl:if test="$lineInfoTn='10pt'">

<xsl:value-of select="$lineInfoTn"/>
</xsl:if>
The first problem is that it complains that the $lineInfoTn is not declared .
So I added the variable as a global variable .
<xsl:param name="lineInfoTn">10pt</xsl:param>
Note I have been switching between variables and parameters to try and get this working .
I can use the itemId variable like this and I dont have a problem .
<xsl:for-each select="q:RequestItem/q:ItemId[text() = $ItemId]/..">
Any ideas on how to get this working .
Thanks for your help

Thanks for the input

Web Based Messageboard (JSP, XML, XSLT) - Just Looking For Advice Please!

I have a general question - I am not looking for any code, just some advice if possible. I am studying on a Masters course and I have been given an assignment to do which I am having difficult getting started. I have worked a lot with Java up until now, however this is the first time I have had to JSP on my course.
My current assignment is that I am required to create a simple web based message board, using JSP and XML, which allows users to post messages to the board, and also to reply to messages. The content of the message board is stored in an XML file, and there is no database involved. The message data needs to be formatted for viewing in a browser using XSL transformations.
I am stuck as to how to go about starting the project, and this is all I am asking for advice in. I have created the basic XML file which has some preliminary data stored within it, and I have created an XSL stylesheet to transform this data, however I am stuck with the JSP. Do I need to create a seperate JSP page for each page of the website? How does this link in with the XSLT?
I would welcome and really appreciate any advice, but I stress that I am not looking for anyone to give me any code or anything like that.
Thanks.

You can use XSLT to convert XML to HTML. Then include this HTML in your JSP. Further on you've a plain HTML form with an input field for a message which you submit to a servlet. In the servlet validate/convert/whatever this message and add it to the XML file and then forward/redirect the request back to the JSP.

JSP from XSLT

I want to generate my JSPs using XSLT. We have many pages that have very similar layout, just different content. Therefore, I would like to create a XSLT stylesheet that contains JSP tags, so that I can use XSLT to generate the actual JSP. However, the 1.0 tags are not well-formed XML.
I have tried using the JSP XML elements described in Section 7.6 of the JSP 1.1 spec. However, I do not understand section 7.6.2. My non-XML JSP fragment looked like this:
<input
type="hidden"
name="<%= myName %>"
value="<%= myValue %>">
Does 7.6.2 really mean to convert it to:
<input
type="hidden"
name="%= myName '%"
value="%= myValue '%">
It seems odd.
Has anyone ever tried to generate JSPs using XSLT? If so, I would be interested in your experience with it.

We are currently converting XML content into JSP through the XML Transformation process. In the XML document we wrap <jsp:root> and include attributes in the jsp:root element for the namespaces. We run through the transformation process and convert the document to a .jsp

Performance issue: Java and XSLT

I have a performance issue concerning Java and XSLT: my goal is to transform an xml file (source.xml)
by using a given xsl file (transformation.xsl). As result I would like to get a String object, in which the result
of the transformation (html-code) is in, so that I can display it in a browser. The problem is the long time
it takes for the code below to run through.
xml = new File("C:\\source.xml");
xmlSource = new StreamSource(xml);
xslt = new File("C:\\transformation.xsl");
StreamSource xsltSource = new StreamSource(xslt);
TransformerFactory transFact = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
trans = transFact.newTransformer(xsltSource);
StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(stringWriter);
trans.transform(xmlSource, streamResult);
String output = stringWriter.toString();
stringWriter.close();
Before, I made the same transformation in an xml development environment, named Cooktop
(see http://xmlcooktop.com/). The transformation took about 2 seconds. With the code above in Java it
takes about 20 seconds.
Is there a way to make the transformation in Java faster?
Thanks in advance,

I haven't tried it but the if you can use java 6, you could try the new stax (StAX) with the XML stream loading..
Take a look at:
http://javaboutique.internet.com/tutorials/staxxsl/
Then, you could cache the xslt in templates:
---8<---
templates = transformerFactory.newTemplates( xsltSource );
Transformer transformer = templates.newTransformer();
(here you could probobly also cache the Transformer object but I think it's it's not thread safe so it's a little tricker..)
StreamResult result = new StreamResult( System.out );
transformer.transform(xmlSource, result);
And, don't transform your result to a string, use a Stream or something, then the transformer could start pumping out html while working, and if you get a out of memory error it looks like you have a pretty big xml file...
If you use jsp you could try the build in jsp taglib for xml which I think is rather good and they have support for varReader which implements the StreamSource iirc.

Problem with JSP and Java Servlet Web Application....

Hi every body....
I av developed a web based application with java (jsp and Java Servlets)....
that was working fine on Lane and Local Host....
But when i upload on internet with unix package my servlets and Java Beans are not working .....
also not access database which i developed on My Sql....
M using cpanel support on web server
Plz gave me solution...
Thanx looking forward Adnan

You need to elaborate "not working" in developer's perspective instead of in user's perspective.

Communication between jsp and abstractportalcomponent

Hello All
Communication between jsp and abstractPortalComponent.
jsp contains one input text field and one submit button.
when the user clicks on submit button it will call the component and that input value will
display in same jsp page.
how this communication will happen?
Rgrds
Sri

Hi Srikanth,
In the JAVA File,
OnSubmit Event,
String inputvalue ;
InputField myInputField = (InputField) getComponentByName("Input_Field_ID");
if (myInputField != null) {
               inputvalue = myInputField.getValueAsDataType().toString();
request.putValue("textvalue", inputvalue);
request is IPORTALCOMPONENTREQUEST Object.
In JSP File,   to retreive the value,
<%
String textstring = (String) ComponentRequest.getValue("textvalue");
%>
In PORTALAPP.XML File,
<component name="component name">
      <component-config>
        <property name="ClassName" value="classname"/>
        <property name="SafetyLevel" value="no_safety"/>
      </component-config>
      <component-profile>
        <property name="tagLib" value="/SERVICE/htmlb/taglib/htmlb.tld"/>
      </component-profile>
    </component>
Using the code above, You can pass and read values between abstract portal component and Jsp Page.
Instead of this, I suggest you to use JSPDYNPAGE Component for Data Exchange.
Check the [Link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/de/ce/e0a341354ca309e10000000a155106/frameset.htm].

Tree View through JSP and Java Script

Hi,
I am looking for code or ideas of a Tree Structure as shown in in the left side frame of admin console of Sun App server 7 on the browser. I need to create a tree structure which will work on the browser like it works on the Sun App Server 7 admin console. If you had any idea or code, please share with me. I would like to have some idea before I start building it. The tree will be build from the database. So any database design is also helpful. I am planning to have that tree using JSP and EJB.
Please help. If you are not clear what I am looking for, then please drop a line in this forum, so that I can explain it fine.
Thanks in advance.
Amit

You can use the JSP Tree Tag I have developed. This helps you both structuring the tree model itself + it takes care of displaying the tree in a nice way. You can change all HTML code used to display the tree. Also you can build trees dynamically instead of just displaying static trees. Take a look at it here:

Deploying a WAR file containing .jsp and servlets (also uses JNI)

Deploying a WAR file containing .jsp and servlets (also uses JNI) on Windows 2000
We had problems making it initially work on Sun ONE Web Server 6.0 Service Pack 1 because of lack of good iPlanet Web
Server documentation on deploying such files.
This is how we went about it:
1) Make one of the servlet and JSP (must call another Java Class) web application (.war) examples work with iPlanet Web
Server.
C:\iPlanet\Servers\plugins\servlets\examples\web-apps\HelloWorld\HelloWorld.war
and
C:\iPlanet\Servers\plugins\servlets\examples\web-apps\jakarta-examples\jarkarta-examples.war
a) Go to your Web Server Administration to deploy the application using GUI Web Application Deploy.
(We usually use command line, we experienced some issues with the GUI version, but maybe it is fixed in the new Web Server
service packs)
From browser, open http://yourserver:8888/
Click on Select a Server:Manage
Click on Virtual Server Class
Click on https-yourserver
Click on the Web Applications Tab
Then, click on Deploy Web Application
Enter the following -
WAR File On: Local
WAR File Path: C:\iPlanet\Servers\plugins\servlets\examples\web-apps\jakarta-examples\jarkarta-examples.war
Application URI: /jakarta
Installation Directory: c:\iPlanet\examples\jakarta-examples
By clicking on OK it deployed the application.
I can verify that it is deployed by selecting "Edit Web Applications" and I see the following entry:
Edit     /jakarta     c:/iPlanet/examples/jakarta-examples
Also, c:/iPlanet/examples/jakarta-examples should have the similar following directory structure ..
- [images]
- [jsp]
- index.html
- [servlets]
- [META-INF]
- [WEB-INF]
- [classes]
- [tlds]
- web.xml
- index.html
I restarted the server and accessed it using the following URL from my IE browser:
http://yourserver/jakarta/index.html
Then I clicked on the JSP Examples and tried some JSP examples.
b) Alternatively, you can also deploy the same example from the command-line.
Make sure C:\iPlanet\Servers\bin\https\httpadmin\bin\ is in your path
wdeploy deploy      -u /jakarta
          -i yourserver
          -v https-yourserver
          -d c:\iplanet\examples\jakarta-examples
          C:\iPlanet\Servers\plugins\servlets\examples\web-apps\jakarta-examples\jarkarta-examples.war
Restart the web server (I don't think you have to restart, but .. might as well).
2)Deploy your web-application
My Foo.war has the following structure.
You can use jar tf Foo.war to look at the file contents from command line (assuming you have JDK installed and the bin is
in your PATH)
Foo.war
- [META-INF]
- [WEB-INF]
- web.xml
- [classes]
- Bar.class
- MoServlet.class
- [lib]
- ThirdParty.jar
- [natlib]
- extlib.dll
- foo.jsp
Here is our application scenario:
foo.jsp uses a class call Bar (it is not in any package). The Bar java class uses classes from ThirdParty.jar. The
ThirdParty.jar in turn uses JNI to load library extlib.dll. foo.jsp also calls /servlet/Mo as well.
Now to deploy it, do the following:
(a) Make sure that within foo.jsp, you import the Bar class ( I don't know why you have to do it, but if you don't you get
JSP compile error).
<%@page language="java" import="Bar" contentType="text/html"%>
(b) Check web.xml (for Servlets)
Within web.xml, make sure you have the following mappings:
<servlet>
<servlet-name> MoLink </servlet-name>
<servlet-class> MoServlet </servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name> MoLink </servlet-name>
<url-pattern> /servlet/Mo </url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
(c) Deploy the application
Using command line:
wdeploy deploy      -u /foo
          -i yourserver
          -v https-yourserver
          -d c:\iplanet\examples\foo-dir
          Foo.war
(d) Change web-apps.xml file (for picking up ThirdParty.jar)
It is located in
C:\iPlanet\Servers\https-yourserver\config
You should see something similar to following after successful deployment.
<web-app uri="/foo" dir="C:\iPlanet\examples\foo-dir" enable="true"/>
Change it to look like following to pick up the ThirdParty.jar
<web-app uri="/foo" dir="C:\iPlanet\examples\foo-dir" enable="true">
<class-loader reload-interval="300"
          classpath="C:/iPlanet/examples/foo-dir/WEB-INF/lib/ThirdParty.jar"
          delegate="false"/>
</web-app>
(e) Change jvm12.conf file (for JNI)
It is located in
C:\iPlanet\Servers\https-yourserver\config
Add or uncomment the following lines:
#optional - just helps with instrumenting the jsp and servlet code
jvm.include.CLASSPATH=1
jvm.enableDebug=1
nes.jsp.enabledebug=1
jvm.trace=7
jvm.verboseMode=1
#required for JNI
java.compiler=NONE
jvm.classpath=.;C:\JDK1.3.1\lib\tools.jar;C:/iPlanet/Servers/plugins/servlets/examples/legacy/beans.10/SDKBeans10.jar;
jvm.option=-Xrs
jvm.option=-Xnoagent
# not sure if this is needed for iPlanet web server
jvm.option=-Djava.library.path=C:/iPlanet/examples/foo-dir/natlib/ -Djava.compiler=NONE
(f) Change magnus.conf file (for JNI)
We HAD to change this file in order for ThirdParty.jar file to pick up the native C++ code using JNI. Apparently, the
iPlanet Web Server doesn't pick the Environment Variable Path. Because when we had the directory containing the DLL just
in Path, it didn't work.
Change Extrapath directive:
ExtraPath C:/iPlanet/Servers/bin/https/bin;${NSES_JRE_RUNTIME_LIBPATH}
to
ExtraPath c:/iPlanet/examples/foo-dir/natlib;C:/iPlanet/Servers/bin/https/bin;${NSES_JRE_RUNTIME_LIBPATH}
(g) Apply changes from the Web Server Administration Console and Restart the web server.
You should be able to see the behaviour that you want from your application.
http://yourserver/foo/foo.jsp
Hope this was helpful!!!

          -i yourserver
          -v https-yourserver
          -d c:\iplanet\examples\foo-dir

(e) Change jvm12.conf file (for JNI)
It is located in
C:\iPlanet\Servers\https-yourserver\config
Add or uncomment the following lines:
#optional - just helps with instrumenting the jsp and servlet code
jvm.include.CLASSPATH=1
jvm.enableDebug=1
nes.jsp.enabledebug=1
jvm.trace=7
jvm.verboseMode=1
#required for JNI
java.compiler=NONE
jvm.classpath=.;C:\JDK1.3.1\lib\tools.jar;C:/iPlanet/Servers/plugins/servlets/examples/legacy/beans.10/SDKBeans10.jar;
jvm.option=-Xrs
jvm.option=-Xnoagent
# not sure if this is needed for iPlanet web server
jvm.option=-Djava.library.path=C:/iPlanet/examples/foo-dir/natlib/ -Djava.compiler=NONE
(f) Change magnus.conf file (for JNI)
We HAD to change this file in order for ThirdParty.jar file to pick up the native C++ code using JNI. Apparently, the
iPlanet Web Server doesn't pick the Environment Variable Path. Because when we had the directory containing the DLL just
in Path, it didn't work.
Change Extrapath directive:
ExtraPath C:/iPlanet/Servers/bin/https/bin;${NSES_JRE_RUNTIME_LIBPATH}
to
ExtraPath c:/iPlanet/examples/foo-dir/natlib;C:/iPlanet/Servers/bin/https/bin;${NSES_JRE_RUNTIME_LIBPATH}
(g) Apply changes from the Web Server Administration Console and Restart the web server.
You should be able to see the behaviour that you want from your application.

Need help in JSP and Servlets

Hi friends,
[please forgive me if i am posting this in the wrong forum, all seems same to a fresher]
Now, to my problem..i need a suggestion, a way or a method to implement the following!
I am supposed to create a servlet that reads data from oracle database. Once i retrive the data (for example: 6 rows of a table having 4 attributes), i am supposed to pass this data to a JSP page where the data has to be formatted and displayed properly. If i call the same servlet from a different JSP, i should be able to access the data in that JSP and format it in a different way. How do i pass the data to JSP? what method i can use to achieve this task?
Note: I already know about PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter(); and then printing the formated HTML page..but i want to keep the formatting to JSP part and send only the data part that i can access in JSP
Thanks in adavance

Java ,abap and XSLT mapping

Hi all,
can any one provide some material on java ,ABA and XSLT mapping(as i got requirement on my current project)..
thanks in advance.

krish..

Hi
All mapping related links
There is no hard and fast rule for using the mapping techniques.
Graphical Mapping is used for simple mapping cases. When, the logic for your mapping is simple and straight forward and it does not involve any complex logic.
Java and XSLT mapping are used when graphical mapping cannot help you and you have multilevel hierarchy structure data.
When the choice is between Java and XSLT, XSLT is simpler than java mapping and easier. But, it has its drawbacks. One among them being that you cannot use Java APIs and Classes in it. There might be cases in your mapping when you will have to perform something like a properties file look up or a DB lookup, such scenarios are not possible in XSLT and so, when you want to use some specific Java API's you will have to go for Java Mapping.
Java Mapping uses 2 types of parsers. DOM and SAX. DOM is easier to use with lots of classes to help you create nodes and elements, but, DOM is very processor intensive.
SAX parser is something that parses your XML one after the other, and so is not processor intensive. But, it is not exactly easy to develop either.
To know more about each of them please go thru the following links. And if you ask me your which is better, it depends basically on the scenario you implementing and the complexity involved. Anyways please go thru the following links:

ABAP mapping
ABAP mappings run on ABAP Stack and are developed in the ABAP workbench of the Integration Server.
You normally do not need to use the ABAP mappings and is preferable for someone with ABAP programming background. I should say JAVA functions would suffice any complex scenarios.
refer step by step guides for ABAP Mapping

ABAP Mapping Vs Java Mapping.
Re: Message Mapping of type ABAP Class not being shown
Re: Performance of mappings (JAVA, XSLT, ABAP)
XSLT Mapping
XSLT stands for EXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations. It is an XML based language for transforming XML documents into any other formats suitable for browser to display, on the basis of set of well-defined rules.

Steps required for developing XSLT Mapping
u2022 Create a source data type and a target data type
u2022 Create Message types for the source and target data types.
u2022 Create Message Interfaces includes Inbound Message interface and Outbound Message interface.
u2022 XSLT Mapping does not require creation of Message mapping, so donu2019t create any Message mapping.
u2022 Create an .XSL file which converts source data type into target data type.
u2022 Zip that .xsl file and import it into Integration Repository under Imported Archives.
u2022 In Interface Mapping choose mapping program as XSL and specify this zip program. (Through search help you will get XSL Mapping programs that you imported under Imported Archives, select your corresponding XSL Program)
u2022 Test this mapping program by navigating to Test tab.
By having look at above steps you can easily find out that this mapping is no where different from other mapping programs, here the challenging lies in creating an XSLT file. If you spend couple of minutes in studying XPATH tutorial you would be in ideal position to create an XSL Transformation (.xsl extension).
If you still find difficulties in generating XSL Transformation, then you can make use of a tool u201CAltova MapForceu201D which will create XSL file for you.
Steps for creating XSL file using this tool:
1. Open the Alto MapForce, import the source .xml and .xsd file in it
2. Similarly import the target .xml and .xsd in MapForce.
3. These two data files should match with source and target data types in Integration Repository.
4. Complete the graphical mapping using extensive list of XSLT functions available there.
5. Save the mapping file.
6. Click the XSLT tab. You will have the entire xslt logic there.
7. Copy that content and save it as .xsl file.
8. Zip above .xsl file and import the same into IR under Imported Archives.
Hope this clears your doubts
Thanks
