(Deleted User) Subject: Base64 decoder
Author: (Deleted User)
Date: 16 Sep 2009 03:47 AM
Good morning from the Netherlands,

I am now perfectly able to encode files to base64 format and upload them to an SQL application. This application is missing however an export functionality, so I am now trying to get the data from the database with an xquery and transform the base64 encoded field back to binary format.

I found this xsl sheet on the Internet, should I able to do the trick with this sheet? For now I am not able to run it due to a "no character data is allowed between top level elements", but I don't know what's the problem and searching on the Stylus form returns a system error since yesterday.

Dear Stylussees,

I think I found a far more easy solution on your own website, see http://www.stylusstudio.com/binary_xml.html. I tested the emaple on your own website, but it is not working. Could it be that it's not working, because I don't have the Base-64 Deployment Adapter? I have a full license of Stylus Studio Enterprise.

Thanks,



Cynthia

If you are running from within Stylus Studio, you have a development-time
license to the converters.

First, were you able to get the examples from the website working?
(note that the 'adapter:' prefix is now 'converter:', but both should
work).

I got the example working, but only after I installed the trial XML Converter - Java (or flat file converter). I thought it would be like you said, I have a Stylus Enterprise license, so I should be able to use the converters from within Stylus.

Ever since I tried to compile a Java coded XSLT Stylus is telling me though this license is past its evaluation period.

How can I run the base64 decoding XSLT without an extra license from within Stylus?

Thanks again,


Cynthia

You were getting a license error from within Stylus Studio for the
converters?

Please send a screenshot showing that, along with your license number
to stylus-field-report@progress.com, and we'll look to see what has
happened.

Is it possible you have a mismatch between the Stylus Studio version
and a separately-installed XML Converters license?

Within Enterprise Stylus Studio, you should have full access to the
XML Converters and XQuery engine.
