Re: Validating XSLT by building a Templates or Transformer objec

[Bradley Wagner]

Ah, good point. Here you go:

Examples XSLT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xslt/java 
" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="begin">
    <xsl:if test="$system-interface = 'publish'">
        <publish>publish content</publish>
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:if test="$system-interface = 'admin'">
        <cms>in cms</cms>
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The Java code we're using to validate:
String xslt;
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = new  
org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl();
transformerFactory.newTemplates(new SAXSource(new InputSource(new  
BufferedReader(new StringReader(xslt)))));
The string "xslt" is their stylesheet like the example above. "system- 
interface" is the name of the parameter we're passing to the  
transformer for their use.
Thanks!

Guess: Sounds like the problem is in how you're asserting those  
parameters and/or how you've declared them in the stylesheet.

Hard to say anything more useful without seeing that code.

Validating XSLT by building a Templates or Transformer object





Hi, we're currently validating XSLTs submitted by our users by using  
the org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl to create new  
Templates objects with TransformerFactory.newTemplates(Source). The  
problem is that when we actually apply these XSLT stylesheets we  
pass transformer parameters that our XSLT writers can use.

We're running into problems because we can't figure out how to  
validate the XSLTs while passing these parameters in. I keep getting  
errors saying that the validation failed because: Could not find  
variable with the name of system-interface (the name of one of our  
parameters).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bradley
