Re: Measure the length of an XML document in bytes

Hi,

I think you should place the folder that contains the class in the classpath, not the class itself. Try replacing C:\Header\Utility.class with C:\Header\.

>>>package MyPackage;

Also the code suggests that the Utility class is inside a package, so you will need to create a MyPackage folder in C:\Header and place the class there.

Excellent!!!

There is only one problem.  Both XMLSpy and Xalan are showing the same
error:

File Size :
(Location of error unknown)XSLT Error
(javax.xml.transform.TransformerException) :
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: For extension function, could not find
method java.lang.String.getFileSize([ExpressionContext,] ).


It produces the text "File Size :" but then the method fails. It can't
be located.

I have the following jars in my classpath:

C:\xalan-j_2_6_0\bin\xalan.jar;C:\xalan-j_2_6_0\bin\xml-apis.jar;C:\xerc
es-2_7_1\xercesImpl.jar;C:\Header\Utility.class

I have no idea why it doesn't find the method within the class. Any
idea?

Many thanks,
Houman

You can configure Xalan-J in XMLSpy 2005 EE as follows:

In Tools | Options | XSL

Specify in "External Transformation Program"
java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in %1 -xsl %3 -out %2 -param
filename node.xml

Xalan-J's JAR file should be in JVM's CLASSPATH.

(The namespace of Java class need not be changed)

Hello Mukul,

Very nice example.  Indeed I could try to convince the project manager
with this solution.

However we are right now using just the built-in XSLT processor of
XMLSpy 2004. And I have to present them the demo with that.

What do I have to do in order to use the class with XMLSpy?  I guess

the

namespace below has to be changed, right?

xmlns:my-class="xalan://MyPackage.Utility"
...
File Size : <xsl:value-of select="my-class:getFileSize($filename)" />
bytes


Many Thanks,
Houman

Hi Houman,
 I just finished writing a Java extension function which determines
file size in bytes (as reported by Windows). Below is the Java code,
XSLT stylesheet and Xalan command line. With this stylesheet, we can
pass the file name from command line.

Java file
-----------
package MyPackage;

import java.io.File;

public class Utility {

public static long getFileSize(String filename) {
  File file = new File(filename);
  return file.length();
}
}

XSLT stylesheet
-----------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
              xmlns:my-class="xalan://MyPackage.Utility"
              xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:output method="text" />

<xsl:param name="filename" />

<xsl:template match="/">
File Size : <xsl:value-of select="my-class:getFileSize($filename)" />
bytes
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Xalan Command Line
------------------------------
C:\xml\xsleg\xslt>java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in file_size.xsl
-xsl file
_size.xsl -PARAM filename node.xml

File Size : 111 bytes

But sorry, if this is not what you want. Just thought of sharing the
code.

Regards,
Mukul

Hi Mukul,

Interesting idea. However I am stuck between two middlewares.  I

have

to

use plain XSLT's. There won't be any java involved.

Actually, I read the customers req. and it says lengths of the
characters are good enough. So I don't need to know the length in

bytes.

So if I would use string-length() like this

<xsl:value-of select="string-length(*)"/>

I would get just the length of the first value.
I wish I could use it like that:

<xsl:value-of select="string-length(<xsl:copy-of select="*"/>)"/>

But this is not possible.
Any ideas how to count the length of a document character by

character?

Many thanks,
Houman
