Class Redirect
xmlns:redirect="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/redirect"
You can either just use redirect:write, in which case the file will be opened and immediately closed after the write, or you can bracket the write calls by redirect:open and redirect:close, in which case the file will be kept open for multiple writes until the close call is encountered. Calls can be nested.
Calls can take a 'file' attribute and/or a 'select' attribute in order to get the filename. If a select attribute is encountered, it will evaluate that expression for a string that indicates the filename. If the string evaluates to empty, it will attempt to use the 'file' attribute as a default. Filenames can be relative or absolute. If they are relative, the base directory will be the same as the base directory for the output document. This is obtained by calling getOutputTarget() on the TransformerImpl. You can set this base directory by calling TransformerImpl.setOutputTarget() or it is automatically set when using the two argument form of transform() or transformNode().
Calls to redirect:write and redirect:open also take an optional attribute append="true|yes", which will attempt to simply append to an existing file instead of always opening a new file. The default behavior of always overwriting the file still happens if you do not specify append.
Note: this may give unexpected results when using xml or html output methods, since this is not coordinated with the serializers - hence, you may get extra xml decls in the middle of your file after appending to it.
Example:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xmlns:redirect="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/redirect" extension-element-prefixes="redirect"> <xsl:template match="/"> <out> default output. </out> <redirect:open file="doc3.out"/> <redirect:write file="doc3.out"> <out> <redirect:write file="doc1.out"> <out> doc1 output. <redirect:write file="doc3.out"> Some text to doc3 </redirect:write> </out> </redirect:write> <redirect:write file="doc2.out"> <out> doc2 output. <redirect:write file="doc3.out"> Some more text to doc3 <redirect:write select="doc/foo"> text for doc4 </redirect:write> </redirect:write> </out> </redirect:write> </out> </redirect:write> <redirect:close file="doc3.out"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>

open
public void open(XSLProcessorContext context, ElemExtensionCall elem) throws MalformedURLException, FileNotFoundException, IOException, TransformerException Open the given file and put it in the XML, HTML, or Text formatter listener's table. -
write
public void write(XSLProcessorContext context, ElemExtensionCall elem) throws MalformedURLException, FileNotFoundException, IOException, TransformerException Write the evalutation of the element children to the given file. Then close the file unless it was opened with the open extension element and is in the formatter listener's table. -
close
public void close(XSLProcessorContext context, ElemExtensionCall elem) throws MalformedURLException, FileNotFoundException, IOException, TransformerException Close the given file and remove it from the formatter listener's table. -
startRedirection
A class that extends this class can over-ride this public method and recieve a callback that redirection is about to start- Parameters:
transf
- The transformer.formatter
- The handler that receives the redirected output
-
endRedirection
A class that extends this class can over-ride this public method and receive a callback that redirection to the ContentHandler specified in the startRedirection() call has ended- Parameters:
transf
- The transformer.
-
createSerializationHandler
public SerializationHandler createSerializationHandler(TransformerImpl transformer, FileOutputStream ostream, File file, OutputProperties format) throws IOException, TransformerException A class that extends this one could over-ride this public method and receive a callback for the creation of the serializer used in the redirection.- Parameters:
transformer
- The transformerostream
- The output stream that the serializer wrapsfile
- The file associated with the ostreamformat
- The format parameter used to create the serializer- Returns:
- the serializer that the redirection will go to.
- Throws:
IOException
