The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How to XML + XSLT => XSL-FO and display a table

Asked by vferreira71 in Extensible Markup Language (XML), Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT)

Tags: , , ,

Ok I am trying to create an XSL-FO out of an XML and an XSLT. And I also want to display a table of the data. The main goal is to output the XSL-FO to a PDF file in java. I already figured out how to do that step. I just need to get the XSL-FO file. Here is my xml file:

[code]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?>

<sectorList>
    <sector>
        <name>Technology</name>
        <percentOfTotal>
            <b>0.16</b>
            <s>9.12</s>
            <ss>0.80</ss>
            <sse>0.00</sse>
        </percentOfTotal>
        <numberOfShares>
            <b>250000</b>
            <s>6052</s>
            <ss>10100</ss>
            <sse>0</sse>
        </numberOfShares>
    </sector>
    <sector>
        <name>Consumer Discretionary</name>
        <percentOfTotal>
            <b>250000</b>
            <s>6052</s>
            <ss>10100</ss>
            <sse>0</sse>
        </percentOfTotal>
        <numberOfShares>
            <b>250000</b>
            <s>6052</s>
            <ss>10100</ss>
            <sse>0</sse>
        </numberOfShares>
    </sector>
</sectorList>
[/code]

Here is my XSLT file:
[code]

            </fo:table-body>
        </fo:table>
    </fo:table-and-caption>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
[/code]

I want the table to look like this...

Sector | Side | % of Total | Total Shares
-----------------------------------------------
            |   B   |   0.23        |    100000
Tech    |   S   |   0.12        |    5000
            |  SS |   12.3        |        1000
            | SSE|    0.90       |       200
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            |   B   |   0.23        |    100000
Cons    |   S   |   0.12        |    5000
            |  SS |   12.3        |        1000
            | SSE|    0.90       |       200

This data is just sample data but that layout is pretty much what I am looking for. So to summarize, first I need to fix my XML and XSLT files so that I get the correct table output then I need to be able to combine these files and generate a XSL-FO file. Thanks in advanceStart Free Trial
