:: 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
