Michael Kay (you indicated the following)
Can you define "does not work properly"? Is it synonymous with "fails with
a dynamic error?
Saxon does pass a simple return code back to the shell when a static or
dynamic error occurs, and of course it does allow you to redirect standard
error output to a file.
But I'm afraid if I were attempting something like this, I wouldn't put
the logic in a shell script, I would put it in a Java application. Your
mileage may vary.
From the following call
/usr/java5/bin/java -cp $SAXON_JAR net.sf.saxon.Transform
-s:$FinesrvDataDir/Library_Invoice_Interface.xml
-xsl:$FinesrvCronDir/LibrXML2CSV_stylesheet.xsl
-o:$FinesrvDataDir/Library_Invoice_Interface.csv
Would like to pass an error back to my shell script. The error would be
because we did not code something properly or the fact we made an
assumption regarding the XML file and now that section that was supposed
to appear at least once does not exist (that is what happened). We submit
all of our production using cron jobs using shell scripts so they want me
to trap the error in my shell script and send a message out to the
individuals that need to look at fixing the problem. I would not even
know how to set up a Java application to set this up. Have written Java
code for batch programs but I am just a novice in this area. Would be
very interested in learning how to set it up in a Java application.
So was wondering how to set up the Saxon call so I can pass a log file
back and a return code. If an error appears then I need to send out a
msg. Searched the web for the options available from net.sf.saxon call.
