Having problems getting anakia to transform $root.getChild calls..
I have the following xml data file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<document>
<foo name="waka">
test
</foo>
</document>
And the following vsl file (marked by !!! problem is here)
<html>
<head>
<META content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
http-equiv="Content-Type"/>
<title> Main Title </title>
<link href="mystyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
</head>
<body>
<img src="overview_banner.jpg"/>
<p class="LargeTitle">
<!-- !!!! PROBLEM IS HERE !!!!!! -->
<title>$root.getChild("foo").getText()</title>
</p>
</body>
</html>
and finally the following java code
-----------------------------------------
.............
SAXBuilder builder;
Document root = null;
builder = new
SAXBuilder("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser" );
root = builder.build( XMLFile );
...............
//Stuff the Document (or root Element) into the context:
VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext();
context.put("root", root );
Template template = null;
template = Velocity.getTemplate(templateFile);
.....
BufferedWriter writer = writer = new BufferedWriter(
new FileWriter("./output/thePage.html"));
if ( template != null)
template.merge(context, writer);
writer.flush();
writer.close();
..........
------------------------------------------
When I execute the code and debug, I see the files get loaded and the
merge, flush and close work fine.
However, my output html still has the literal string
"$root.getChild("foo").getText()
embedded in it. when I check the log I see the following message
"reference : template = StartPage.vsl [line 10,column 17] :
"$root.getChild("foo").getText() is not a valid reference.
I have tried every variation of xml and $root command I can think of
and they all give me the same error. The only thing that doesn't produce
an
error is if I just have $root.
any Idea why my getChild() call isn't working?
thanks for any help here...
Also, anyone have any other examples of using anakia, I can only find one
that comes with the SDK...bah.
