Question
XML-XSLT Transformation via browser
Hello..
I have go thru some study on how can I implement xml-xslt to do text translation for my project.
But I still stuck understanding some example given in the tutorial. I'm not sure am I in the right track to use xml-xslt to translate some text label in jsp pages to different languages based on user selection. If not please suggest.
FYI the language code is stored in locale session. if I have this xml, how can I use xslt and display the output in jsp?
label.xml
-----------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<locale>
<userid>
<en_us>User Name</en_us>
<de>Benutzername</de>
</userid>
<password>
<en_us>Password</en_us>
<de>Passwort</de>
</password>
<logonbutton>
<en_us>Logon</en_us>
<de>Anmelden</de>
<logonbutton>
--------------------------
Thanks in advance

FYI again, my jsp should be like this. I want the label "User ID" and "Password" is change accoudingly to user language selection based on xml file.
logonpage.jsp
--------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<table width="37%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">

<td width="34%">User ID</td>
<td width="2%">:</td>
<td width="64%"><input type="text" name="textfield"></td>

<td><input type="text" name="textfield2"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Logon">
</p>

dualsoul,
Is this correct fro sample.jsp??
sample.jsp
--------------------------
<%@page import ="java.lang.*" %>
<%@page import ="java.util.*" %>
<%@page import ="java.io.*" %>
<html><head></head>
<body>
<%
// Step 1: Get XML
String xml = "label.xml"; //get some xml here to String (just for instance)
//Step 2: prepare source and result streams
StreamSource source=new StreamSource(new StringReader(xml));
//set stylesheet here
StreamSource stylesheet=new StreamSource(this.getClass
StringWriter outHtml=new StringWriter();
StreamResult result=new StreamResult(outHtml);
//Step 3: do transformation
TransformerFactory transFactory=TransformerFa
Transformer transformer=transFactory.n
transformer.transform(sour
//Step 4: print out the result
out.println(outHtml.toStri
%>
</body>
</html>
--------------------------
ok dualsoul, after some modification, I solve the import class porblem but then it produce this error:
exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperEx
at org.apache.jasper.servlet.
at org.apache.jasper.servlet.
at org.apache.jasper.servlet.
at javax.servlet.http.HttpSer
at org.apache.catalina.core.A
at org.apache.catalina.core.A
What should I do?
>What should I do?
it seems you trying to point your XSLT file - in wrong location:
..........................
StreamSource stylesheet=new StreamSource(this.getClass
..........................
check the path.
and String xml = "label.xml";
this is not XML filename, it's XML it self. If you want to use file, this should be:
..........................
// Step 1: Get XML
String xml = "label.xml"; //filename here
//Step 2: prepare source and result streams
StreamSource source=new StreamSource(this.getClass
..........................
And again don't forget to set up correct path for XML file.
> I want the label "User ID" and "Password" is change accoudingly to user language selection >based on xml file.
you should write XSLT which transform your XML to Form, and insert it in your .jsp as i show you. Do you need help with it?
By the way if you only need localization of your webapp, you can easily do it without XML, check the JSTL (Java Standart Tags Library) - it has support for localization.

by the way , is this xslt id correct ?
label.xsl
--------------------------
<xsl:stylesheet version = '1.0' xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.o
<xsl:template match="/">
<h1>
<xsl:value-of select="//author"/>
</h1>
<h2>
<xsl:value-of select="//title"/>
</h2>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
--------------------------
>And also I still not understand the concept of localization.
Localization - is the process, when your app can operate with different languages, according to clients locale. That's what you want to do.
heck the tutrorial on localization at java.sun.com
About XSLT, which values you want to use? <en-us> or <de> ?
ok, i'll show it a bit later - a'm busy at work now.
But i recomend you to read this: http://java.sun.com/docs/b
before you go with your xml solution.
Java has native support fot localization, and all work you try to do, can be much easier. Really read the trail first.
yes i've read it... I understand the proses... now i'm in a process of combining the class with jsp using javabeans.
Then how about the xslt? I think we still need to use xslt with xml. I understood that with xslt, we can generate any format of document from xml. therefore using xslt is more flexible. I need to know about transformation xml using xslt.
pls consult..
>now i'm in a process of combining the class with jsp using javabeans.
look, don't fuzzy :), first find and read about JSTL (at java.sun.com ) - it will make your work much easier :)
> I need to know about transformation xml using xslt.
hm..so what do you want to know? how to do the task you suggested at first? or something else?
I show you how to to transform within jsp above , not?
>therefore using xslt is more flexible.
i think it will be too complex for localization, and you know XSLT is rather slow on Java platform comparing to JSP, so you should have some more reasons to use it, not only localization.

easy :) just do XSLT transform as in standalone java app. See: (sample.jsp)
..........................
<html><head></head>
<body>
<%
// Step 1: Get XML
String xml = "..."; //get some xml here to String (just for instance)
//Step 2: prepare source and result streams
StreamSource source=new StreamSource(new StringReader(xml));
//set stylesheet here
StreamSource stylesheet=new StreamSource(this.getClass
StringWriter outHtml=new StringWriter();
StreamResult result=new StreamResult(outHtml);
//Step 3: do transformation
TransformerFactory transFactory=TransformerFa
Transformer transformer=transFactory.n
transformer.transform(sour
//Step 4: print out the result
out.println(outHtml.toStri
%>
</body>
</html>
..........................
Hope it helps.
