[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: ora:output
 Sebastian,
As several people have mailed me on this, I've CC'd the
XSL-List so others might benefit from the example.
Using Oracle XSLT release 2.0.2.8 or later (2.0.2.9 is
the current production release since mid-July 2000), and
given an input document like:
<!-- people.xml -->
<people>
<person>Steve</person>
<person>Sebastian</person>
<person>Nacho</person>
<person>Michael</person>
</people>
You can use an XSLT stylesheet given at the
bottom of this email -- which uses the <ora:output> built-in
extension element -- to do the following:
(1) Output a comma-separated list of all people to the
default output "resource" using method="text"
(2) Output odd-numbered people to an HTML file "odd.html"
(3) Output even-numbered people to indented XML file "even.xml"
Using "oraxsl" to transform people.xml above by the stylesheet...
$ oraxsl people.xml samplebelow.xsl defaultoutput.txt
below will produce:
(1) The raw text output "Steve,Sebastian,Nacho,Michael"
into the file "defaultoutput.txt"
(2) The file "odd.html" that looks like:
<html>
<body>
<ul>
<li>Steve</li>
<li>Nacho</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
(3) The file "even.xml" that looks like:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<List>
<Item>Sebastian</Item>
<Item>Michael</Item>
</List>
Here's the stylesheet...
<!-- Sample stylesheet using <ora:output> -->
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" exclude-result-prefixes="ora"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:ora="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/">
<!-- NOTE: Trailing slash in "ora" URI above!! -->
<!-- <xsl:output> controls default output resource's options -->
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<!--
| Top-level <ora:output> declares additional output resources
| 'name' attribute assigns a name to the output resource
| 'href' attribute provides URI of the file to receive output
| In addition, <ora:output> supports all attributes of <xsl:output>
+-->
<ora:output name="one" href="odd.html" method="html"/>
<ora:output name="two" href="even.xml" method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<!-- No <ora:output use="xxx"> so use default result -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="people/person" mode="list"/>
<!--
| <ora:output use="one"> in a template instantiates
| its contents such that it will be serialized to
| the additional output resource named "one" declared above
+-->
<ora:output use="one">
<html>
<body>
<ul>
<xsl:apply-templates select="people/person[position() mod 2 = 1]"/>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
</ora:output>
<!--
| <ora:output use="two"> in a template instantiates
| its contents such that it will be serialized to
| the additional output resource named "two" declared above
+-->
<ora:output use="two">
<List>
<xsl:apply-templates select="people/person[position() mod 2 = 0]"/>
</List>
</ora:output>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="people/person" mode="list">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:if test="not(position()=last())">,</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="people/person[position() mod 2 = 1]">
<li><xsl:value-of select="."/></li>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="people/person[position() mod 2 = 0]">
<Item><xsl:value-of select="."/></Item>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
