Hello,
I did write the HighlightingTransformer....it uses SAX parsing, so finding
XPath expressions will not be possible...
There are two different HighlightingTransformers
1) Just highlights a single keyword in html/xml
2) Highlight keywords in a html/xml page, with a keyword file as lookup which
to highlight.
For example, the following piece of sitemap:
<map:transform type="highlightkeywordstransformer" src="keywords.xml"/>
and with keywords.xml like
<keywords>
<keyword value="open source" href="http://www.opensource.com"/>
<keyword value="cocoon" href="http://cocoon.apache.org"/>
</keywords>
will place <a href="...."> </a> around every occurence of a keyword in the
text. By default, the text is scanned within the "body" element. But, it is
possible two parameterize it completely, for example
<map:transform type="highlightkeywordstransformer" src="keywords.xml">
<map:parameter name="wrapElement" value="b"/>
<map:parameter name="containerElementId" value="maincontent"/>
<map:parameter name="containerElement" value="div"/>
<map:parameter name="wrapAttributeStyle" value="color:green;"/>
<map:parameter name="wrapAttributeClass" value="someClass"/>
</map:transform>
This will wrap every keyword occurence within containerElement(s) "div" and
containerElementId "maincontent" with
<b class="someClass" style="color:green">keyword</b>
So, if the Xpaths have some element with id, you could use this
highlighttransformer, because you can say "this" element with "thisId". The
searching in keywords is done for files containing over 200.000 keywords to be
looked up. For ~1000 keyword, it takes 30 ms, for 10.000 about 95 ms and for
200.000 about 1,5 s. So, performance is fast, except for extreme large keyword
files. I can upload it somewhere if anybody interested
