Hi Dan,
I created the original XSLTService, but I haven't been actively involved
for some time - this might change soon <hold item="thumb"/> :-) AFAK
nothing should break the XSLTService, but if it broke I will be willing
to fix it.
I will describe the XSLTService that I know for Turbine 2.x - I haven't
looked at Turbie 3 yet.
The first thing that you should do is to enter the XSLTService in your
TR.properties. There are only 2 properties - the first one is the path
(relative to your webapp) where your XSL files will be stored and the
second turns XSLT caching on/off. e.g.
services.XSLTService.classname=org.apache.turbine.services.xslt.TurbineXSLTService
services.XSLTService.path=/WEB-INF/stylesheets
services.XSLTService.cache=false
Once you have done this you can use the XSLTService in your source-code
(it can be a screen, action or somewhere else).
TurbineXSLT.transform ("mytransform.xsl", reader, writer);
The first parameter is the name of your stylesheet (the file should
exist in the directory given in your TR.properties). If this stylesheet
does not exist the service will attempt to load "default.xsl".
The second parameter is a reader for the input XML and the third
parameter is a writer that will hold the result of the transformation.
Hope this helps. If it appears to be broken, please let me know and I
will fix it.
