Hi:

I would highly appreciate any suggestions, or pointers to web based resources or java/xsl code samples. I have gone through Xalan-Java extensions examples.


----------INPUT XML-------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<reply>
<source name="NYSE">
<entries grouping="instrument" numberOfTimeUnits="60" resultTZ="ET" segmentEnd="15:00:00" segmentStart="08:30:00" timeRangeEnd="20000929-15:00:00 ET" timeRangeStart="20000929-09:30:00 ET" timeUnit="minutes">
... Lots of other stuff ...
</entries>
</source>

----------INPUT XML end------------------------
I would like to instantiate java Date object
in my java code as follows.


-----------JAVA CODE snippet----------------------
// This is just sample code to show our approach

public void transformInputXml()
{
 Date timeRangeStart;


// source has Input XML // target has Output XML // transformer uses createOutputAndGetStartDate.xsl

 createOutputAndGetStartDate = new StreamSource(new File(
                               createOutputAndGetStartDate.xsl ));
 TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();


Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer (createOutputAndGetStartDate); transformer.transform(source, target);

 // I am able to get my target XML
 // I can create the timeRangeStart Date object
 // inside createOutputAndGetStartDate.xsl
 // QUESTION 1. : I  do not
 // know how to get the Date object created in XSL context
 // back to Java context and so that it prints
 // "September 29, 2000 ... " per the next line.
 // I am constrained not to make timeRangeStart static.
 // I my case I need the transformation to go on
 // to plot the stock prices coming from the market, and
 // I need also need the Date value returned to me
 // in the java context, without
 // making another call through the transformer

System.out.println ( timeRangeStart.toString() );

// QUESTION 2. : How to create a complex object in Java
// context and pass it to xsl
// I am able to pass a string object
// transformer.setParameter("PersonName", "Joe" ); // <xsl:param name="PersonName" select="anonymous"/>
// How to pass a Person object, containing all its
// members?



// QUESTION 3. // In case the Input XML is an error response instead // of the data requested, I need to capture the // Error code and reason per the INPUT XML 2 below. // Currently I get TransformerException. // I added the following lines to xsl // <xsl:template match="reply/source/Error"> // <xsl:message terminate="yes"/> // <!--<xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="@reason"/></xsl:text>--> // <xsl:text>Error received from source</xsl:text> // </xsl:template> // I am not able to get the @reason value back to Java context // so that I can inform the user what happened. // Neither can I get the error message I inserted within xsl:text // tag



}
------------JAVA CODE Snippet end-------------

----------INPUT XML 2------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<reply>
 <source name="NYSE">
   <Error code="-300" reason="Connection failed" />
 </source>
</reply>
----------INPUT XML  2 end------------------------


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you.
