Hi,
I am doing a bunch of XSL transformations from an XML file
using Cocoon and finally generate a FO file.
I have the following requirement to carry out in my XSL
transformations: 1. Get the fileurl for images in the XML
(e.g. /images/A.jpg) 2. Check for the file on a physical
location 3. If the file exist then ok, otherwise change the
file url (/images/A_temp.jpg).
I have not used File I/O using XSL and am not even sure if
that's possible.
Can someone please throw some light on this ?
Is it possible to fulfill the above requirement using XSL?
Are there any other ways to do this using Cocoon?
If it's possible (I don't know anything about Cocoon) I would write an
XMLFilter that would sit between the XML parser and the transformation.
As the SAX events come through you could check the img/@src to see if
the file exists, and then add a custom attribute 'exists="true"' to the
element (well, to the Attributes object that goes in the call to
super.startElement()). Then all you need to do is check for the @exists
attribute in your stylesheet.
cheers
andrew
