Xml, xsl and jsp

I used this code to create an xml file through an xsl:
<%@page import="javax.xml.transform.*,javax.xml.transform.stream.*,java.io.File,java.util.Properties" %>
<%
File fXml = new File("C:\\file.xml");
File fXsl = new File("C:\\file.xsl");
File fRes = new File("C:\\res.xml");
StreamSource xml = new StreamSource(fXml);
StreamSource xsl = new StreamSource(fXsl);
StreamResult res = new StreamResult(fRes);
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(xsl);
transformer.transform(xml,res);
%>
but in the res.xml file i have:
<table> instead of <table>
what can i do to solve this problem?
thanks

I'm near to solution
i use
StringWriter resultStringWriter = new StringWriter();
StreamResult res = new StreamResult(resultStringWriter);
and then
transformer.transform(xml,res);
String str = resultStringWriter.toString();
this is my xsl:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.1" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" indent="yes" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>
<xsl:template match="XMLDATA">
<![CDATA[<tag1>]]><xsl:value-of select="CodiceAmministrazione"/><![CDATA[</tag1>]]>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
but now the problem is the output:
\r\n<tag1>Test</tag1>\r\n
and not
<tag1>Test</tag1>
If I write the xsl on one line i have no problem
Can you help me please?

  • XML, XSL - HTML(JSP), bad UTF-8 encoding on Tomcat

    I use simple transformation to create HTML (JSP) page from XML, XSL (both are encoded in UTF-8}. When doing this in embedded web server in JD9i developer, the result is fine. But when run at Tomcat 4.0.3, UTF-8 chars are displayed as 2 characters. It's interesting that the transformation gives different results:
    - in JD9i the UTF-8 chars are left unchanged and shown good in IE browser
    - in Tomcat the chars with acute (/) are transformed into "&iacute;" , "&aacute;" and so on and shown properly, whereas chars with caron (V) are encoded and shown badly.
    Does somebody know solution to this ? Thanks.

    Doing some more experiments reveals a subtle difference between GET and POST with Tomcat - it may apply to other application servers, but I have only tested with Tomcat 5 and Tomcat 6, so I can't say.
    The following is essentially what most people have indicated you need to do to have your JSP handle UTF-8:
    <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    <html>
    <head>
      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
      <title>My Title</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>This is what I couldn't get working with my GET (the default for forms) and ended up working when I specified the URIEncoding for the connector in the server.xml file.
    It turns out that the above will work with no modifications to the server.xml file if the form method is POST. If you need to be able use GETs then you will need to modify the connector, otherwise it would seem nothing you do at the JSP or servlet level will make a difference, unless you want to convert each parameter manually:
      String parameter = new String( request.getParameter("myParam").getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8" );Edited by: ajmasx on Sep 27, 2007 10:20 AM

  • XML Messaging and JSP.  Is it possible?

    Here is my situation.
    We are developing JSP with a backend interface to external/remote Java/C++ applications. We like to implment, if possible, XML messaging between JSP and remote programs.
    First of all, is this possible? Can JAXM be used in JSP?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sure, but you might need to use polling for the JSP to get the response to show the user.

  • XML, XSL, and why I need a URL to create a XSLStylesheet

    In order to convert XML>>HTML I need to specify both the XML (data) and the XSL (stylesheet). Great.
    Before I slap these two together, I need to create an instance of XSLStylesheet, which takes my raw XSL file and a **URL**?
    XSLStylesheet xsl = new XSLStylesheet(xsldoc, xslURL)
    What is this URL used for? Antoher XML processor I'm migrating from does not require this, and it looks like I can't avoid it. (There's no constructor for the XSLStylesheet that DOESN'T need the URL.)
    QUESTIONS:
    - Is there a way to avoid specifying a URL?
    - If there's not a way, can someone tell me what the URL is being used for? All I see from the Javadoc is that it's a "Reference URL for include, import and external entities". Would love to be able to expand on that - leaves me in a fog.
    Thanks!
    Will.

    try using "null" as argument for url

  • Very Technical XSL and JSP

    Hi,
    can i save XSL value on String (JSP)?
    for example:
    <%
    String strValue = <xsl:value-of select="."/>;
    %>
    give me a tip, please?
    Regards

    No, because what you have there cannot be contained in a well-formed XML file.

  • Xml, xsl and database

    I have several xml documents that uses different tags to describe the same type of information. In my case they describe a row in a database table.
    file1.xml
    <therow>
    <name>Jones</name>
    <title>manager</title>
    </therow>
    file2.xml
    <arow>
    <employee>King</employee>
    <job>manager</job>
    </arow>
    I want to use a technology for reading the content of the two files and generate a new document for each file that will use generic tags so the content of the new files could look like:
    file1
    <row>
    <employeename>Jones</employeename>
    <employeetitle>manager</employeetitle>
    </row>
    file2
    <row>
    <employeename>King</employeename>
    <emplyeetitle>manager</employeetitle>
    </row>
    An then I can read this information by using a generic Java class and insert it into the database table..
    I was told that the technology used for doing this was XSLT. I have been searching the web for examples and also tried to read some of the content in the Steve Muench book 'Building Oracle XML Applications'.
    I have managed to create XSL files, but I would really appreciate if someone could show me a real example of how to do this, with the xml file, the xsl file, and a small java program to read this. Can anyone help?

  • Jsp & XML-XSL

    Hello.
    I have a device that produce XML output file( dynamically )
    I need to read it by Jsp page.
    I able to do it using XSL but when XML changes my Jsp page is not updated.
    Only if i recompile jsp page i get new data
    Do you know some methods to get dynamically XLM data?
    Thx
    Riccardo
    example code:
    <%@page contentType="text/html"%>
    <html><head><title>XSLT Example</title>
    <%@ taglib uri='/WEB-INF/tlds/xslt.tld' prefix='xslt' %>
    </head>
    <body>
    <xslt:apply xsl='Fieldgate.xsl'>
         <%@ include file='output.xml' %>
    </xslt:apply>
    </body></html>

    Thats because you are including your XML in your JSP.
    If you were to parse your XML in your in your JSP using SAX or DOM and then use them to populate the dynamic contents of your JSP then you will not need to recomplie your JSP.
    Read the following article. It will help you out and possibly give you some other Ideas.

  • JSP, XML, XSLT: applying XSL on JSP-generated XML doc

    Hello,
    I am currently trying to figure out how to do the following:
    let's consider (that's not entirely hypothetical :) ) a web application working with JSP (on apache/tomcat 3.1) and oracle BC4J Application modules.
    The JSPs call oracle webbeans to perform updates and retrieve data from an 8.1.6 database.
    Now I'm thinking of moving to a combination of JSP, XML and XSL, which (hopefully) would allow to customize the application depending on the user's browser, language etc...(that's the point isn't it?)
    It doesn't seem to be a problem to produce XML from a jsp, send it directly to the client browser, which in turn goes to look for the proper XSL file and does all the transformation stuff.
    However this only works with I.E 5 for the moment right? and most website need to support various kinds of browsers...
    The need is:
    * When a non XML-capable browser is detected, apply the proper XSL(s) on the server side before sending the result back, in html/wml/whatever...
    * For XML-capable browsers, produce raw XML, maybe apply some XSL(s), and eventually send the result to the browser which handles the rest of the XSL stuff itself.
    Therefore, I'd like to:
    - Have the jsp produce the raw xml data (maybe adding extra tags, to indicate the browser and/or the language that the jsp engine has detected).
    - Pass the output to a first XSLT engine which would take care of the language stuff
    - Feed the result into a second XSLT engine to handle browser specificities for instance...
    - Send the final output to the client browser.
    Now, there are 2 problems:
    * 1/ I have seen various engines capable of chaining XSL transforms, and it is easy to produce XML from a jsp, but I don't know how to feed a jsp's output into an XML engine. is that possible? how?
    * 2/ I'm a bit concerned about the cost of applying three (or more) process stages, does anyone have insight on the performance issues this could raise?
    bonus question ;) : is there a simpler approach?
    Thanks a lot in advance, Remi

    Could anyone urgently let me know if it's possible to use this Primitive Template in the xsl and xml mentioned?
    It looks like the "resourceDescription" is not being passed on to the bundlednotificationdata-section in the xml?
    Any other suggestion in how to get the "resourceDescription" available in Daily Summary Subscription emails?
    Thanks in advance,
    Tim.

    Hello Alan,
    Yes; as far as I know the only way to get your changes to any of the email notification xml files visible is by restarting the server
    The notification email xsl I'm working on is the one for the daily notifications (subscriptionbundled_email.xsl).
    My problem is that it seems that the resourceDescription is not being passed on by the java code that is populating the section in the xml file containg the resource information...
    Unfortunately no confirmation about this yet (raised OSS with SAP as well).
    I'm expecting this resourceDescription to contain the text that you can fill in using standard KM in the Description field of a resource.
    I do wonder how/where your users populate the subject and description fields? Standard SAP KM or custom app?
    Cheers,
    Tim.

  • Difference between facelets and jsp xml in Document Type

    I want difference between facelets and jsp in Document Type in JDeveloper 11gR2 (11.1.2)
    Thanks
    Edited by: Amr Ahmed on Jun 8, 2011 7:46 AM

    Let's see.
    Facelets creates a facelets page
    JSP creates a JSP page
    {noformat}:){noformat}
    Facelets is the "official" view language for JSF 2.0
    http://www.realdevelopers.com/blog/development/facelets-vs-jsp should give you some more insight as well.

  • Include xml file in jsp page

    hi,
    i just would like to include an xml file and his xsl file in a jsp page.
    i know we can do it in asp like that :
    <%
    //load the xml file
    var source = Server.CreateObjetc("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
    source.load(Server.MapPath("toto.xml"));
    //load the associated xsl file
    var style = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
    style.load(Server.MapPath("toto.xsl"));
    //transform the source document
    var result = source.transformNode(style);
    Response.Write(result);
    %>
    i want exactly do the same in jsp
    does anyone know how to do?

    where is the big deal? there are many posts answering this in the forum.
    here is a possibility:
    <%@page contentType="text/html;charset=utf-8"%>
    <%@page import="javax.xml.transform.*,javax.xml.transform.stream.*" %><%
    Templates myTemplates = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTemplates(new StreamSource(new File("whatever.xsl")));
    Transformer transformer = myTemplates.newTransformer();
    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
    transformer.transform(new StreamSource(new File("whatever.xsl")), new StreamResult(sw));
    out.print(sw.toString());
    %>

  • XML, XSL, XSLT, DOM??  What should be used?

    I want to develop an application using JSP, Java, mySQL, and XML.
    The application needs to be able to store data in the database but also define this data using XML. Some sort of style sheet for this data is also needed to assist in creating forms based on this data and style sheet on the fly for a new page that needs to be displayed based on the data that was entered before.
    What XML technolgoies could best help in this situation? Can you see any problems associated with building these pages on the fly based on the XML and XML style sheet???
    Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated?
    Thank you and I look forward to hearing from anyone that could help!!!!

    Two things. One JRUN has a JSP tag that converts XML and an XSL to XHTML. Despite the preference of some (who must work with only XML enabled browsers) many people on the internet and even some corporate intranets do not have XML enabled browsers thus the XML/XSL solution does not present usable data to them.
    The conversion to XHTML makes this data presented to ALL browsers.
    A good reason for having the XML is that this has become the defacto standard for communication between businesses/applications on the web. Especially with any Web Service usage XML will almost certainly be required. In other words, minimize rework use a "standard" data that is usable my many different layers of presentation.
    Hopefully I was clear enough. I am using XML as a pre-presentation data format and then using various forms (including JAXB) to present the data or manipulate the data depending on requirements.

  • What is the best way to include an xml file in JSP?

    I have a jsp page that I need to include an xml file. The xml file
              uses an xsl to render the file. What is the best way to include the
              xml file and still maintain the structure of the style sheet?
              Thanks
              Jennifer
              

              The best way is using the tag lib. If you cannot, but you can use JAXP, you can
              try
              javax.xml.transform.Transformer.transform(Source xmlSource,
              Result outputTarget)
              throws TransformerException
              You construct the transformer with you xsl, use you xml file or DOM to form xmlSource,
              and use JSPWriter "out" to form outputTarget (StreamResult). But if your JSP page
              generates the xml itself, tag lib is the only way.
