princy MathewSubject: XSLT transformations with JDK1.5 and Tomcat 5.5
Author: princy Mathew

Greetings to all,

I have an application that converts XSL to PDF using FOP. This application works fine in JDK 1.4 and Tomcat5.0.

But when I moved this application into JDK1.5 and Tomcat 5.5 I am getting errors

Initially,the error was related to serializer.jar. I heard that JDK 1.5 has inbuilt version of xalan, which requires serializer.jar. So I downloaded the serializer.jar and I had put it in lib folder of my application.
Upon doing this, the error related to serializer.jar dissappeared. But now I am getting error for str:tokenize.

In my XSL file, I am using the following code snippet:

<xsl:variable name="tokens">
<xsl:value-of select="str:tokenize('apple~^orange~^peach',$separater)"/>
</xsl:variable>

<fo:block>First Value is ....<xsl:value-of select="$tokens[1]"/></fo:block>



But when I execute, i get the error at line where I try to access the value of $tokens[1].

The error I get is
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xpath.objects.XString.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance
princy

Do you realize that when you assign a variable using the VALUE rather than the SELECT attribute the variable is assigned a Result Tree Fragment and you cannot access elements from a Result Tree Fragment. Try using the select="..." in your variable assignment.

Thank you for your suggestion of using 'select' attribute instead of 'value-of' when declaring variables.

I modified my XSL as shown below and now I am getting the output successfully.

<xsl:variable name="tokens" select="str:tokenize('apple~^orange~^peach',$separater)"/>


But I wonder how the value-of was working fine with JDK1.4 and Tomcat5.0

Shhh... If you hadn't upgraded and everything was still working fine they wouldn't need you to fix it!

Not sure, but generally (hopefully) everything gets tighter and better defined/refined as we move forward.

Glad it worked out for you,

Actually I have around 300 XSL files that requires this change.

So modifying and testing them will be a cumbersome task.

So I am still looking for a solution that won't require a change in my XSL files.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried the debugger? Check out the type and value held in $tokens. Maybe you can manipulate it directly, however that sounds more fragile than re factoring things as they should have been.

I feel that JDK1.4 is using Xalan Java 2.4.1 version while JDK 1.5 has an inbuilt higher xalan version.

I have got an information that we can override the inbuilt versions in JDK by placing the required files in the following folders:

<JAVA_HOME>/lib/endorsed
<JAVA_HOME>/jre/lib/endorsed

I tried downloading Xalan Java 2.4.1 from
http://archive.apache.org/dist/xml/xalan-j/

But the downloaded zip file seems to be invalid.

Is there any other site from which I can download the Xalan Java 2.4.1 version

Any help appreciated

Thanks in advance
princy

Don't know of any but...
though I don't know or care to know specifically the issue that you are having or how to solve it to minimize your re-work, all of these technologies have moved forward and it behooves you to stay current or even jump ahead and resolve the issue within a known boundary.

I suggest you don't try to patch the pieces together (ranging from Java 1.4, xalan 2.4, DOM2, SAX, JAXP to Java 1.5, xalan 2.7, DOM3, SAX2, JAXP/JAXB not to mention Java6) from what was working with your "old" environment to what you might get to work in the "new" but won't know why it stops working next week.

Try moving ahead and working with the pieces that have also moved ahead. Check out this link and the others around it to get a feel for the progression of each and all of the pieces that need to play together.

http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/core/xml/index.jsp

note the links...
XML Documentation: J2SE 1.4.2 | J2SE 5.0 | Java SE 6
and the details and differences

Remember too, to use the <xsl:variable name="myVar">value of myval</xsl:variable> leaves $myVar with a Result Tree Fragment with its parts not accessible in the way you try, this I do know! (See Tennison's Beginning XSLT) Find and replacing 300 files is nothing! And the good unit testing I know you spent time on early in the development process should still work to quickly test the change ;-)

Good Luck with your studies,

-mike
