[xsl] Converting XML document to HTML from within JSP

["Andrew Gallo" <andrew dot gallo at divine dot com>]

Hi All,

Has anybody been successfull in Converting an XML document to HTML from
within JSP.
The following code does not produce any results, and there are no
compilation errors. I am using resin (jsp 1.1) as my App server and jdk 1.3.
The Source XML File and XSL File are correct as I have succeeded in the
conversion to HTML via its java class equivalent.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

<%@page import="javax.xml.transform.stream.*,javax.xml.transform.dom.*,
javax.xml.transform.*,java.io.*" %>

<%

//First create a Source object from  the xml file

StreamSource xmlSource=new StreamSource(new File("D:/stocks.xml"));

//Create a Result object.Associate this Result with a File , URL, or any
OutputStream or a Writer object.The
//constructor has five forms,one default and four taking different
arguments.Check documentation for more details.

StreamResult  htmlResult=new StreamResult(out);

//Create a Source object for the XSL style sheet

StreamSource xslSource=new StreamSource(new File("D:/stocks.xsl"));

//Create a TransformerFactory object

TransformerFactory tf=TransformerFactory.newInstance();

//Create a Transformer Object.Pass the XSL Source object in the constructor.

Transformer transformer=tf.newTransformer(xslSource);

//Complete the transformation

transformer.transform(xmlSource,htmlResult);

//In this case, since we have associated the Result object with the implicit
out object,
//when the transform() method returns, the output will be written to the
client.
out.println("end");

Subject: [xsl] xsl:variable


Is it possible to set a variable and use it to grab data from another xml
file?

Here's what I attempted with much failure-

 <xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="expert1id"
select="sco/core/expert/expert1/id"></xsl:variable>

then.....



<script language="JavaScript">

var expert1layer="<xsl:apply-templates
select="document(/sco/loadexperts/$expert1id/text" />";



</script>

</head>


Thanks-
Jennifer
