Xalan

If you think you're using Xalan and you're really using something else, then the likely failure will alert you to that fact.

But if you don't need a portable solution, this sort of measurement might be easier to write as a Xalan TraceListener.

I could take the approach Xalan did in its own messages, and display the line and column number within the source document.

For instance, when faced with foo(2), Xalan prefers to call a method named foo that takes a double as an argument.

It does not cost anything to use the Xalan serializer because that's the class Xalan uses internally to save HTML document.

If you want to use a processor other than Xalan, supply a value for the system property named javax. xml. transform. TransformerFactory.

This class is based on the Xalan's sample transformer class and for the most part, should not require any further development from you.

Think of this as a summary of Xalan's output SAX stream.

Xalan was originally developed by Lotus software from IBM, and Xerces was originally developer by IBM.

If you want to get involved in Xalan's development, try the Xalan-Dev mailing list, found at the same place.

Fortunately, you can code these tasks in the Java language and then invoke them from your XSLT stylesheets using Xalan.

In this last case, FOP will invoke the Xalan XSLT Processor before starting to render the PDF file.

The code samples for this article use the Xalan package for XPath support.

This tip uses the Xalan XSL Transformation engine, but any XSLT processor will do.

If your extension function throws an exception, Xalan shuts down.

Even when you add the much more correct and robust Xalan 2. 7 to your classpath, you might still use the older bundled version.

Each platform is bundled with a unique set of frameworks and libraries, for example Apache Xerces and Apache Xalan.

You will need Xerces and Xalan in your classpath to run the code.

This file does not, however, include external libraries such as Xalan and Xerces.

You can download Xalan and Xerces from links in.

Which is part of the Xalan distribution.

Among other products, Xalan 2. 7 and Saxon 8 include an implementation of this library.

To use Xalan or Saxon instead, you only need to change the order of the parameters on the command line.

If you need to run Eclipse under JDK 1. 3. x, you have to install Xalan and adapt the plug-in accordingly.

While researching how to clarify this topic, I began thinking about how XSLT processors (such as Xalan, Saxon, or MSXML) really work.

Tools such as Xalan use stylesheets to process the XML content according to the included instructions in the stylesheets.

When I use Xalan to run tracexsl1. xsl over Stefan's stylesheet, I get tracexsl-sample1. xsl. withTrace .

XSLT processors, such as Xalan, are not exactly friendly to use, yet.
