Hello
I am trying to read several files from a directory to extract some
information from each one and create a resume. I am being looking
at org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.Resume. I have my sitemap
working but I use this line (a copy from a similar line in the
plugin code):
<map:transform src="{properties:resources}/stylesheets/alldocs-to-
revisions.xsl" />
I tried to use locationmap to look for the xsl code, so I changed
the line to
<map:transform src="{lm:transformation.alldocs.revisions}" />
and then to
<map:transform src="{lm:alldocs-to-revisions.xsl}" />
as commented in [1], but it's not working. My locationmap looks at /
PATH-TO-MY-SITE/src/documentation/skins/pelt/xslt/html/alldocs-to-
revisions.xsl Why is it looking to pelt/xslt/html? Any idea?
The locationmap looks in a number of places for your required file,
if it doesn't find it in the first location it falls back to the
next possible location. I'm pretty sure the above location is only
*one* location that the system is looking since it comes from the
first location in the following match from the locationmap-
transform.xml file [2]:
<!-- All core other transforms -->
<match pattern="transform.*.*">
<select>
<location src="{properties:skins-dir}{forrest:forrest.skin}/
xslt/html/{1}-to-{2}.xsl" />
<location
src="{forrest:forrest.context}/skins/{forrest:forrest.skin}/xslt/
html/{1}-to-{2}.xsl"/>
<location src="{forrest:forrest.context}/skins/common/xslt/
html/{1}-to-{2}.xsl"/>
<location src="{forrest:forrest.stylesheets}/{1}-to-{2}.xsl"/>
</select>
</match>
Since you say that it was working with
<map:transform
src="{properties:resources}/stylesheets/alldocs-to-revisions.xsl" />
That tells me that your stylesheet is in
${project.content-dir}/resources/stylesheets/alldocs-to-revisions.xsl
There are two solutions to this. The first is to copy the above
match to your project locationmap and add (as the first location):
<location src="{properties:resources}/stylesheets/{1}-to-
{2}.xsl/>
This will work for all stylesheets located in your project directory.
The second solution seems more appropriate to me. It is likely that
content objects will provide their own stylesheets on occasion (as
you are doing) and therefore this match should be added to the
default locationmap [1]. Please try this latter solution and, if it
works, send us a patch.
The former solution is not working for me. I don't know way. So I will
go for the second one.
However....
Since I know what you are doing here (remember folks, Pablo is
currently working in my team) let me go a step further...
Pablo is aggregating the content of a directory with TEI documents
in order to create sorted lists of documents based on their revision
headers.
I'd suggest that this functionality actually belongs in the TEI
plugin not in the content object. That way it can be reused by other
folk working with TEI in this way.
Do you think so? Maybe it could be part of the tei input plugin, but I
am not sure.
My idea (but I am still missing some things in forrest) is that tei
input plugin should read the change record and include this
information into the metadata of the internal document. Other part
should read the content of a directory with different formats but
providing a change record. So I don't know if right location is the
plugin directory or a new plugin.
Anyone, the first step is to have this thing working. :-)
To do this you need a plugin specific location, as an example see
[3] where you will find:
<match pattern="pdf.transform.*.*">
<select>
<location src="resources/stylesheets/{1}-to-{2}.xsl"/>
<location
src="{forrest:forrest.plugins}/org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.pdf/
resources/stylesheets/{1}-to-{2}.xsl"/>
</select>
</match>
coupled with xmap [4] such as of:
<map:transform src="{lm:pdf.transform.document.fo}">
Where is [4]?
