Trouble getting file naming syntax correct

[Bryan Schnabel]

Hello,

I've built a little Java application that let's the user browse to an XML file, select it, then the XML file is transformed via a static XSL file. Everything has been working fine, until I needed to use XSLT 2.0. So I had to switch to Saxon 9, instead of the *standard* TransformerFactory XSLT processor. (Assuming my classpath is all good) It seems like Saxon does not care for my file naming syntax. Here's the portion that has the trouble:

--snip --
  if(result == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {

    textXRTrip0.setText(jfilechooser.getSelectedFile().getPath());
    String xml_Input_File = (jfilechooser.getSelectedFile().getPath());
    textXRTrip1.setText(jfilechooser.getSelectedFile().getPath()+".xf");

      File InputFile = new File(xml_Input_File);
      File xfXSLTfile = new File("xml2xf.xsl");
      // just added this extra step 'x_i' to try to correct the
      // 'java.net.URISyntaxException:' - it seemed to do no harm, nor help
      File x_i = new File(InputFile.toURI());
      Source xmlIn = new StreamSource(x_i);
      Source xfRoundTripXSL = new StreamSource(xfXSLTfile);

      System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory",
       "net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl");

      TransformerFactory transFact =
      TransformerFactory.newInstance()

      try { 
            Transformer trans = transFact.newTransformer(xfRoundTripXSL);
            trans.transform(xmlIn, new StreamResult(x_i + ".xf"));
          }
   catch(Exception ioe) { 
    System.err.println("Could not transform; malformed? ..." + x_i);
          }

      }
  }
--/snip --

I ran it in verbose mode, and got some telling errors (I'm just not experienced enough to know exactly what they are telling me). It clearly finds the files (making reference to actual elements in the source, "processing /rooty/p[1]" and actual code in the XSLT, "  at xsl:apply-templates (file:/C:/presentations/D-Europe-2009/presentation-and-demo/newD-XF-rt/xml2xf.xsl#11)"):

URIs use the slash '/' and not the backslash '\'. So instead of e.g.
C:\Documents and Settings
you need e.g.
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings

How exactly do the lines of the stylesheet look that cause the error
(i.e. line 10 and some lines before and after that)?

Hi Martin,

Saxon likes the stylesheet just fine if I just run it from the command line.

I think the error falsely hints at a stylesheet error, and I also went down that path. But I'm nearly 100% sure it is not a stylesheet error. In fact, when I first started getting this error, I replaced my fancy stylesheet with one that does nothing more than an identity transform. And I still got the error. So here's the exact template that the error message calls out (don't laugh):

<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
 <xsl:copy> <!-- and this is line 10 -->
  <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
 </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

I thought maybe the answer was along the lines of changing:

File x_i = new File(InputFile.toURI());

to

File x_i = new File(InputFile.toURI().toURL());

(in hopes that this would solve what I perceive to be Saxon's dislike the the windows-y synax - fixing it to the correct file: and forward slash syntax) - But the .toURL() is not cool with Java, I think. I suppose I could do some manual string fixes, but I hoped for a more universal solution (i.e., OS agnostic), if this is even the problem.

Thanks,

Bryan

The rejected URI (or rather, non-URI)  is

 

C:\Documents and Settings\JG\Desktop\try\my.xml.xf

 

and since you are constructing the URI for the result file by adding ".xf" to something, my guess is that its the result URI that it's complaining about.

 

Try something like

 

new StreamResult(x_i .toURI().toString() + ".xf")

Michael,

You probably get tired of hearing this, but I'll say it anyway. This worked like a charm. You are one of the wonders of the XML/Java world!

Thank you for this, and for your enduring support for our coding community all these years.

- Bryan
