Error Reading File
up to a few days ago my application worked like a treat. ive spend the last fews days create .EXE .JNLP files, and writing README files for it.
Now today - just for one last clean and build before I package it, im getting this "cannot compile stylesheet" error.
I havnt changed anything to brake it but for some reason it isnt working anymore...
ive build a simple RSS feed based on swing components.
I have my XSL file in a folder called "etc"
here is a run down of my structure:
newsreader
|----build
|----docs
|----dist
|----etc
|----src
|----test
the actual error im getting is:
run:
ERROR: 'C:\newsreader\build\class
FATAL ERROR: 'Could not compile stylesheet'
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 4 seconds)
how i read my file in RSSContentPane.java:
try {
File file = new File( "etc/rss.xsl" ) ;
this.rssSource = new URL( this.selectedRSSFeed ) ;
this.xslSource = file.toURL() ;
this.writer = new StringWriter() ;
this.rssTransformer = new RSSTransformer() ;
this.rssTransformer.proces
this.setText( this.writer.getBuffer().to
this.html.setCaretPosition
} catch( MalformedURLException e ) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDia
System.exit( 0 ) ;
} catch ( TransformerException e ) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDia
} catch ( IOException e ) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDia
System.exit( 0 ) ;
}
transformer.java code:
public class RSSTransformer {
private TransformerFactory factory;
/** Creates a new instance of RSSTransformer */
public RSSTransformer() {
factory = TransformerFactory.newInst
}
public void process( URL url, URL xsl, Writer out ) throws TransformerException {
try {
Templates template = factory.newTemplates( new StreamSource( xsl.toExternalForm() ) );
Transformer transformer = template.newTransformer();
transformer.transform( new StreamSource( url.toExternalForm() ), new StreamResult( out ) );
} catch ( TransformerConfigurationEx
JOptionPane.showMessageDia
} catch ( TransformerException e ) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDia
}
}
}
if you need more code please ask...
ps. this is urgent!

cool ok...

see using Absolute path, where would i start it from? newsreader or my c:\?
how are you running it?
if you add your etc directory to your class path you can use the following:
this.xslSource = getClass().getResource("rs
you then don't need to create that file instance at all
this.xslSource = getClass().getResource("rs
you then don't need to create that file instance at all

the code you have currently won't work with the xsl in the jar, you need to change it

im not sure:
here is how is set up some properties in my build.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="NewsReader" default="run" basedir=".">
<import file="nbproject/build-impl
<!-- define some useful properties -->

<property name="project.etc" location="${basedir}/etc/"
<property name="project.documentatio
<property name="project.main.class" value="u0207372.NRStandalo

do you mean just have:
<property name="project.build" location="${basedir}/build
?

moving the xsl into your jar will mean you don't need to change the build as you will no longer need the line that is giving you the error
this:
File file = new File( "etc/rss.xsl" ) ;
this.rssSource = new URL( this.selectedRSSFeed ) ;
this.xslSource = file.toURL() ;
becomes just:
this.rssSource = new URL( this.selectedRSSFeed ) ;
this.xslSource = getClass().getResource("/e

ok but im not too sure how i add te xsl file or this etc folder into the jar file?
add the directory to the file list in your jar build target
Please post the output of
jar tf yourjar.jar
jar tf yourjar.jar
ASKER
>>Date: 03/23/2006 10:56AM GMT
Oh, OK. You need to add %JAVA_HOME%\bin to your path
(Creating the variable JAVA_HOME [the installation directory of your JDK] first if necessary)
theres no need to run jar :)
ASKER
ok guys - the two of ye telling me to do different things isnt helping!
i want my application to run off a exe or jnlp - there will be no copying of files onto users disks.

Sorry

method getResource not found?
in your case it would be something like:
<jar destfile="${basedir}/rssre
<fileset dir="${project.build}" />
<fileset dir="${project.etc}"/>
</jar>
add that to your build target (or you can make it seperate if yuou want)
<jar destfile="${basedir}/rssre
<fileset dir="${project.build}" />
<fileset dir="${project.etc}"/>

getClass().getResource(...

see what I suggested earlier.
using the above build it would be:

Now i know the XSL file is in the JAR as when i extend my JAR i can see it along with my u0207372/build/classes.
the u0207372/build/classes contains:
gui/RSSContentPane.class
gui/RSSInput.class
gui/RSSList.class
NRStandalone.class
RSSTransformer.class
in my RSSContentPane.java I have this:
URL xslSource = this.getClass().getResourc
if you need anything else - just ask
Is there a package specified in NRStandalone.java?
ASKER
package u0207372 ;

is there a way we could copy all the etc folder into the jar file instead of just the rss.xsl?
OK. Can you please copy and paste (i include the prompt below) the output of
C:\whatever\build\classes>
?

Yes, i mentioned that earlier, but forget that for the moment - there seem to be more fundamental issues wrong

OK - not as bad as i thought. BACK THE ORIGINAL UP and try the following. You'll need to load the xsl file as i originally mentioned (after my self-correction)

With any luck you should be able to start that by double-clicking the jar
>>jar="NewsReaderApp.jar"
But that isn't the jar is it?

Sorry had to get some sleep, can you explain the split please.
The question was about reading the xsl which I helped you with with.
Fxing your build was a seperate issue and really should have been a seperate question.

and his earlier comment that you accepted is wrong:
> xslSource = getResource("/etc/rss.xsl"
> xslSource = getResource("/etc/rss.xsl"
It isn't wrong ;-)
ASKER
>>and his earlier comment that you accepted is wrong:
> xslSource = getResource("/etc/rss.xsl"
it worked.
I split the points as both of your comments had helped in the end - did you want me to award all points to you? I split them as I though it wasnt fair to award CEHJ all 500 even though he spend hours helping me out, but so did you.
Yes the question was about reading in my xsl file, but inorder to do so you suggested include it in the jar file so this lead to changing my build.xml file to include the xsl file... remember? (Date: 03/23/2006 10:50AM GMT) hence why the question lead more into changing my build.xml file.
Im sure you have been apart of many threads that have evolved off-topic while trying to solve the problem e.g the asker thinks its 1 thing, when it isnt and the thread changes course...
>>The question was about reading the xsl which I helped you with with.
And i award you some points for helping - i might have not selected the right comments but at least you got some credit for it... after all how many comments are in this thread? it isnt easy to read back over them all and selected the best ones when you havent eaten in like 9 hours or have not moved from your chair...
in fact i lost a whole day work yesterday due to this issue and thanks to both of ye, I got it fixed, but at some expense.

which should have been a seperate question.
the solution to your problem required no change to your build script
as I \stated you just needed to include the xsl in your classpath

Yes, but I don't expect the points for it after someone else has alr3eaqdy answered the question.

Its called been fair - if i awarded CEHJ all the points you'd be giving out, saying you helped me - next thing i'd see is comment from mods and question reopened...
so to bypass this, i split the points.
>>I'll get the admins to have a look at it.
do what you want - i dont care - as far as i can see, the mods have looked at this question and have made there comments on it to you: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21788228/Working-please-check.html
you are never happy with any decisions i make anyway so whats the point?
there is times when i open questions and you comment, and i think yes - objects just commented - he'll help me out... but then i think oh no - he's sooooo picky and will be on my back for a few days as the decisions/comments i make, he wont like...
