Tomcat 5.5 Xml + Xslt Question
Hello, I am struggling with content types within a JSP page. I have an XML, XSLT and CSS file that combined are suposed to create a tree. (I am trying to get treeview to work). I created a webapp for playing in, and have the following code in a jsp page called showTree.jsp. But when I hit the page, it shows nothing and has text/html as the content-type, Then I tried text/xml with the same results. I have never used xml and xslt in a browser and was hoping someone may give me some advise? Thanks, [jsp] ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? ?xml-stylesheet type=text/css href=treeview/treeview.css ? ?xml-stylesheet type=text/xsl href=treeview/treeview.xslt ? treeview title=Windows XP Explorer Treview folder title=My documents img=MyDocuments.gif folder title=House img=folder.gif leaf title=What\'s going on? code=1 img=ie_link.gif/ leaf title=What\'s up? code=1 img=question.gif/ leaf title=Why you should hire me? code=1 img=question.gif/ /folder folder title=My images img=MyImages.gif leaf title=funny code=1 img=red_ball.gif/ leaf title=ounga ounga code=1 img=red_ball.gif/ /folder /folder folder title=My computer img=computer.gif folder title=Floppy (A:) code=1 img=floppy.gif/ folder title=Hard drive (C:) code=1 img=harddrive.gif leaf title=Linux code=1 img=folder.gif/ leaf title=Open source code=1 img=folder.gif/ leaf title=Freedom code=1 img=folder.gif/ /folder leaf title=Configuration Pannel code=1 img=config.gif/ leaf title=Shared documents code=1 img=folder.gif/ /folder folder title=Network img=network.gif/ folder title=Trash img=trash.gif/ /treeview - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Tomcat 5.5 Xml + Xslt Question
1. In your jsp make sure that '?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?' is on the very first line, it should be befora any imports or taglibs or etc. This is just one of the problems you might have with xml in jsps.

I don't know a thing about treeview, but I might be able to help with some other issues. ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? ?xml-stylesheet type=text/css href=treeview/treeview.css ? You don't want this: xml-stylesheet is for XSLTs only, not CSS files. If you want to include a CSS file with your web page, you're going to have to make sure that the (HTML) content emitted to the browser contains a link rel=stylesheet href=treeview/treeview.css / element. ?xml-stylesheet type=text/xsl href=treeview/treeview.xslt ? This directive will instruct the browser to transform the current document (the one for which you provided the source) using treeview/treeview.xslt. JSP will not automatically transform your XML document, but the browser should. It will download the XSLT and transform your document -- I assume into HTML. I can't tell what your XSLT does. In terms of the CSS stylesheet, your XSLT should probably emit the link element required to get the browser to use that stylesheet. I recommend that you take a step back. Take the file you posted, along with the CSS And XSLT files, ad just try to get it working on your local machine. There's no need to have a web server and JSP runner confusing things. Mozilla Firefox (and I think MSIE) will transform your XML document if you just load it right off your local disk. Once that's working, /then/ you can throw JSP into the mix and start generating dynamic XML to be transformed. Some more free advice: if you want to do XSLT transformations, don't rely on the browser to do them properly. I've seen some weird stuff when ff transforms XML, sometimes resulting in errors which make the page unusable. Also, you can never detect errors that occur in the browser, so you might never know anything is wrong unless you get angry calls from customers. I highly recommend Cocoon, which was designed to do nothing but transform XML using easily defined pipelines that can do some amazing things.

Re: Tomcat 5.5 Xml + Xslt Question
Problem resolved: Thank you for the reply. I was setting my @page content to text/xml on line1, then the ?xml tag on the second line. Hard to believe that would screw things up, but it does. Thanks a million, saved me a lot of time. Regards. On 2/14/07, APliszka-Public [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 1.

Re: tomcat and xslt 2.0
Sorry, I've been too busy or scatter brained to check here. I use jdom and invoke this as: System.setProperty(javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory, net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl); trans = new XSLTransformer( new FileInputStream( mytransform )); I think that you have to request this before you request the TransformerFactory then cast the TransformerFactory to a SAXTransformerFactory before creating the Templates object. I sort of do this step out of force of habit and I'm not sure it is absolutely necessary (I think not). As to the NPE, when saxon does the initial parse of the xslt it reports errors, which is a good thing since I write most of my xslt in emacs. If the xslt doesn't compile you will get an NPE, but that doesn't mean that's your problem in this case. Make sure you are logging your exceptions.

Can I use XSLT 2.0 stylesheets with tomcat 5.5.15 ?
