david mcdonnellSubject: Generic flat file -> xml converter
Author: david mcdonnell

I have created a java application through stylus studio that converts a flat file to xml. I want it so that if I input a different flat file with the same name as the previous one that this flat file will be generated successfully. At present if I use a different flat file with different text it outputs the same xml from the "scenario" that i created in the xquery file.

Is the Java file supposed to generate the temporary xml file(before xquery mapping has taken place) on the fly? It doesnt seem to be, it keeps looking for it if it doesnt exist. Basically what i want to do is generate on the fly the converted xml file from the flat file but to possibly have different input flat files with the same structure.

David,

The adapter URL allows to specify the file you want to convert as argument, for instance

adapeter:///c:/myconverions.conv?c:/myTextFile.txt

You can create URLs like this one above pro grammatically in your Java application.

Hope this helps

Would you be able to give me a code example for the use of this URL in the Java code that Stylus studio generates?

Cheers David

David,

Use an adapter URL as input of a XSLT transformation in the scenario dialog then click Generate Java Code.

Starting from 2006 R3 there is new Converter API, see the example demo.java

ConverterFactory factory = ConverterFactory.newInstance();

// The first example uses a StreamSource and a StreamResult to identify the input and output.
StreamSource input = new StreamSource(exampleDir + "one.csv");
StreamResult output = new StreamResult(exampleDir + "one.xml");

Converter toXML = factory.newConvertToXML("adapter:CSV:sep=,:first=yes");
toXML.convert(input, output);

// We never opened either the input or output stream; the Converter did that internally.
System.out.println("test 1 finished: one.csv -> one.xml");


Hope this helps
