- Reply-to: xsl-list at lists dot mulberrytech dot com
I am an XSL/XSLT/XPath trying to break down very large well-formed XML
files (as String messages) into smaller well-formed XML Strings using
XSL/XSLT.
I am currently experimenting with Xalan - Java 2 from apache, but am
having a difficult time finding examples that transform XML->XML and split
it up.
Could someone help point me in the right direction?
Example: large.xml
<root>
<level 1 (one to many)>
<some children>
<level 2 (one to many)>
<some children>
<level 3 (one to very many) >
<some children />
</level 3>
<trailing siblings />
</level 2>
<trailing siblings />
</level 1>
<trailing siblings />
</root>
Level 3 is a unit of work. Since JDOM is used to process the unit of
work, we need to limit the size. A new requirement has asked for 50MB
batch messages containing..
several <level 1>
which may contain several <level 2>
which is likely to contain many, many <level3>
I would like to parameterize either by string size and/or unit of work
count as to how the original XML is split.
Is this possible?
Thanks for any help.
