Invoke a transformation by calling a named template and return result as a string. The results of calling the template are wrapped in a document node, which is then serialized as a string. If setInitialTemplateParameters(std::Map, boolean) has been called, then the parameters supplied are made available to the called template (no error occurs if parameters are supplied that are not used).

Parameters

templateName - the name of the initial template. This must match the name of a public named template in the stylesheet. If the value is nullptr, the clark name for xsl:initial-template is used.

Exceptions

SaxonApiException

Exceptions

SaxonApiException

◆ clearParameters()

void XsltExecutable::clearParameters ( bool deleteValues = false )

Default behaviour (false) is to leave XdmValues in memory. Individual pointers to XdmValue objects have to be deleted in the calling program.

Parameters

This method deletes a XdmValue pointer array

Parameters

arr	- XdmValue pointer array
len	- length of the array

◆ exceptionOccurred()

bool XsltExecutable::exceptionOccurred ( )

Checks for pending exceptions without creating a local reference to the exception object

Returns: bool - true when there is a pending exception; otherwise return false

◆ exportStylesheet()

void XsltExecutable::exportStylesheet ( const char * filename )

Produce a representation of the compiled stylesheet.

The representation of the compiled stylesheet is in an XML form, suitable for distribution and reloading. If the configuration under which the export takes place is suitably licensed, then license information will be included in the export file allowing execution of the stylesheet without any additional license.

The detailed form of the output representation is not documented.

Parameters

filename - the destination for the XML document containing the diagnostic representation of the compiled stylesheet. The stream will be closed when writing has finished.

Returns: std::map - the map is indexed by the absolute URI of the result document, and the corresponding value is an XdmNode containing the result document (as an in-memory tree, without serialization)

Exceptions

SaxonApiException if we fail to get result-documents

◆ removeProperty()

bool XsltExecutable::removeProperty ( const char * name )

Parameters

name	the name of the property to be removed

Returns: bool - outcome of the removal

◆ setBaseOutputURI()

void XsltExecutable::setBaseOutputURI ( const char * baseURI )

Set the base output URI.

The base output URI is used for resolving relative URIs in the href attribute of the xsl:result-document instruction; it is accessible to XSLT stylesheet code using the XPath current-output-uri() function

Parameters

baseURI - the base output URI

◆ setCaptureResultDocuments()

void XsltExecutable::setCaptureResultDocuments	(	bool	flag,
		bool	rawResults = `false`
	)

Enable the capture of the result-document output into an std:map. This overrides the default mechanism. If this option is enabled, then any document created using xsl:result-document is saved (as an XdmNode) in an std::map object where it is accessible using the URI as a key. After the execution of the transformation a call on the getResultDocuments() method is required to get access to the result-documents in the map.

Parameters

flag	- true causes secondary result documents from the transformation to be saved in a map; false disables this option.
rawResults	- true enables the handling of raw destination for resultsDocuments. If not supplied this can also be set on the setResultAsRawValue method. The setResultAsRawValue method has higher priority to this flag

◆ setcwd()

void XsltExecutable::setcwd ( const char * cwd )

set the current working directory (cwd). This method also applies to the

The cwd is used to set the base URI is part of the static context, and is used to resolve any relative URIs appearing within XSLT.

Parameters

cwd	- Current working directory

◆ setGlobalContextFromFile()

void XsltExecutable::setGlobalContextFromFile ( const char * filename )

Supply the context item to be used when evaluating global variables and parameters. Set the source from file for the transformation.

Parameters

filename - the item to be used as the context item within the initializers of global variables and parameters.

◆ setGlobalContextItem()

void XsltExecutable::setGlobalContextItem ( XdmItem * value )

Supply the context item to be used when evaluating global variables and parameters. Set the source document from an XdmNode for the transformation.

Parameters

value - the item to be used as the context item within the initializers of global variables and parameters. Given as a pointer to the XdmItem object.

◆ setInitialMatchSelection()

void XsltExecutable::setInitialMatchSelection ( XdmValue * selection )

The initial value to which templates are to be applied (equivalent to the select attribute of xsl:apply-templates)

Parameters

selection - The value to which the templates are to be applied

◆ setInitialMatchSelectionAsFile()

void XsltExecutable::setInitialMatchSelectionAsFile ( const char * filename )

The initial filename to which templates are to be applied (equivalent to the select attribute of xsl:apply-templates). The file is parsed internally

Parameters

filename - The file name to which the templates are to be applied

◆ setInitialMode()

void XsltExecutable::setInitialMode ( const char * modeName )

Set the initial mode for the transformation.

Parameters

modeName the EQName of the initial mode. Two special values are recognized, in the reserved XSLT namespace: xsl:unnamed to indicate the mode with no name, and xsl:default to indicate the mode defined in the stylesheet header as the default mode. The value null also indicates the default mode (which defaults to the unnamed mode, but can be set differently in an XSLT 3.0 stylesheet).

◆ setInitialTemplateParameters()

void XsltExecutable::setInitialTemplateParameters	(	std::map< std::string, XdmValue * >	parameters,
		bool	tunnel
	)

Set parameters to be passed to the initial template. These are used whether the transformation is invoked by applying templates to an initial source item, or by invoking a named template. The parameters in question are the xsl:param elements appearing as children of the xsl:template element.

The parameters are supplied in the form of a map; the key is a QName given as a string which must match the name of the parameter; the associated value is an XdmValue containing the value to be used for the parameter. If the initial template defines any required parameters, the map must include a corresponding value. If the initial template defines any parameters that are not present in the map, the default value is used. If the map contains any parameters that are not defined in the initial template, these values are silently ignored.

The supplied values are converted to the required type using the function conversion rules. If conversion is not possible, a run-time error occurs (not now, but later, when the transformation is actually run).

The XsltTransformer retains a reference to the supplied map, so parameters can be added or changed until the point where the transformation is run.

The XSLT 3.0 specification makes provision for supplying parameters to the initial template, as well as global stylesheet parameters. Although there is no similar provision in the XSLT 1.0 or 2.0 specifications, this method works for all stylesheets, regardless whether XSLT 3.0 is enabled or not.

Parameters

parameters	the parameters to be used for the initial template
tunnel	true if these values are to be used for setting tunnel parameters; false if they are to be used for non-tunnel parameters

◆ setOutputFile()

void XsltExecutable::setOutputFile ( const char * outfile )

Set the output file of where the transformation result is sent

◆ setParameter()

void XsltExecutable::setParameter	(	const char *	name,
		XdmValue *	value
	)

Set the value of a stylesheet parameter

Parameters

name	the name of the stylesheet parameter, as a string. For namespaced parameter use the JAXP solution i.e. "{uri}name"
value	the value of the stylesheet parameter, or nullptr to clear a previously set value

◆ setProperty()

void XsltExecutable::setProperty	(	const char *	name,
		const char *	value
	)

Set a property specific to the processor in use. XsltProcessor: set serialization properties (names start with '!' i.e. name "!method" -> "xml") 'o':outfile name, 'it': initial template, 'im': initial mode, 's': source as file name 'm': switch on message listener for xsl:message instructions

Parameters

name	of the property
value	of the property

◆ setResultAsRawValue()

void XsltExecutable::setResultAsRawValue ( bool option )
