Preview XMLForms content via KM API

Question

Hello, i have created an application which retrieve my IResources, XML News.
IResourceListIterator iter = list.listIterator();
String str = "";
String text = "";
while (iter.hasNext()) {
IResource ires = (IResource) iter.next();
while (ip.hasNext()) {
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ires.getContent().getInputStream(), ires.getContent().getEncoding()));
while ((text = in.readLine()) != null) {
     str = str + text + "\n";     
I output this in html file and recieve full XML News, how can i render it to NewsBrowser (only header like home->news)
I need to do this via KM API.

Hi Nikita,
in my understanding you wanna display xml forms content via KM API in a HTML output file?
In Content Administration -> KM Content -> etc -> xmlforms -> <your xml forms application> you can find all relevant created XML-Files for a XML Forms Application. According to this there are also some XSL-Files available. These are stylesheet files that will transform you xml-files in an html file.
For more information for xsl see following link:
[http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/]
What you can do now is to get the corresponding XML File (<yourApplication>-GUIModelShow.xml) and the XSL File (<yourapplication>Show.xsl).
To transform it in a HTML File, try the following code sample:
// create XML-File
File xmlFile = new File( new URI("http://<portalpath>:<port>/irj/go/km/docs/etc/xmlforms/<yourapp>/<yourapp>-GUIModelShow.xml") );
// create XSL-File
File xslFile = new File( new URI("http://<portalpath>:<port>/irj/go/km/docs/etc/xmlforms/<yourapp>/<yourapp>-Show.xsl")  );
// create sources for both files
Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(xmlFile);
Source xslSource = new StreamSource(xslFile);
// get new instance of factory class
TransformerFactory transFact = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer trans;  
// write HTML-output
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream( "<custom path in KM>" );
// get new transformer for XSL-File
trans = transFact.newTransformer(xslSource);
// transform XML-File to HTML-File
trans.transform(xmlSource, new StreamResult(out));
// flush and close OutputStream
out.flush();
out.close();
I don't know exactly if this will work, but try it out.
Best regards,
Denis
