jd.xslt Mirror

Recent postings on xml-dev have indicated that jd.xslt by Johannes Döbler has gone missing from its home, and its author's location is unknown.

jd.xslt is an engine written in Java that supports the XPath 1.0 Recommendation and the XSLT 1.1 Working Draft of 12-Dec-2000. (XSLT 1.1 was withdrawn after the next draft in favor of XSLT 2.0.)

I've posted a copy of the most recent build I could find here, and expanded the RPM files for those who can't unpack them directly.

Here is a little batch file to test if things are installed on your system; it assumes you're using Apache Xerces as the parser and that it's the copy that was installed with Stylus Studio®, although other versions of this parser and indeed other parsers are also suitable.

Here are the RPM files, and their unpacked components, for jd.xslt 1.5.5-3.

Using j2.xslt with Stylus Studio®

To perform a transform with jd.xslt from inside of Stylus Studio®, do the following:

1. Open the Scenario Properties
2. Go to the Processor tab
3. Set the Processor value to custom
4. Set the Command line to java.exe jd.xml.xslt.Stylesheet -out "%3" "%1" "%2"
5. Assuming that jd.xslt is installed in the C:\j directory and Stylus Studio® is installed in the default location, set the Classpath to something like this:
   C:\j\lib\jdxslt.jar;C:\Program Files\Stylus Studio 2006 XML Enterprise Edition\bin\xercesImpl.jar;C:\Program Files\Stylus Studio 2006 XML Enterprise Edition\bin\xml-apis.jar

That's it. You may now execute stylesheets using the jd.xslt engine from within Stylus Studio®!
