:: Command-line XSLT 

:: 

:: Takes 3 command-line arguments: 

:: 1) an existing XML document, 

:: 2) an existing XSL document, and 

:: 3) an HTML document (existing or not) 

:: It then uses the XSL document to transform 

:: the XML into HTML. 

:: (Note that HTML is the common usage - however, 

:: many other types of output documents are supported, 

:: limited only buy the XSL stylesheet itself)

::

:: TROUBLESHOOTING:

::   

:: i) ASSUMES the existence of:

::              .\lib\xalan.jar, 

::              .\lib\xalan.jar\xercesImpl.jar, and 

::              .\lib\xalan.jar\xml-apis.jar

:: 

:: ii) Use absolute paths, not relative paths, for 

:: the XML, XSL and HTML files. Make sure file paths 

:: do NOT have spaces in them (eg - NOT like: c:\Program Files\)

::

IF NOT EXIST %1 GOTO USAGE

IF NOT EXIST %2 GOTO USAGE

SET LIB=.\lib

SET CPATH=%LIB%\xalan.jar;%LIB%\xercesImpl.jar;%LIB%\xml-apis.jar

:: transformer parameters that are usually set by the java 

:: code in morpho or in metacat. We have to pass them on the command line:

SET TPARAMS=-PARAM qformat knb -PARAM action read 

echo Transforming XML file %1 to HTML format, using XSL file %2...

echo (sending the following transform parameters to the parser)

echo %TPARAMS%

echo .

java -cp %CPATH% org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process %TPARAMS% -IN %1 -XSL %2 -OUT %3

echo "Done. Results are in file %3

GOTO END
