Pass document as parameter to XSL Translation in Java

Question

I\'m working on addition internationalization to my XSL. I\'ve seen plenty of examples of creating a dictionary.xml file and loading it into my XSL via document(\'dictionar

Answer 1

Use a URIResolver instead of a parameter. First, create the resolver like this:

public class DocURIResolver implements URIResolver {

    final Map documents;

    public DocURIResolver(final Map documents) {
        this.documents = documents;
    }

    public Source resolve(final String href, final String base) {
        final Document doc = documents.get(href);
        return (doc != null) ? new DOMSource(doc) : null;
    }
}

Use it like this:

Document dictionary = TranslationDictionary.getDictionaryDocument();
Map docs = new HashMap();
docs.put("dictionary", dictionary);
// transformer is your javax.xml.transform.Transformer
transformer.setURIResolver(new DocURIResolver(docs));

And reference it in your stylesheet by name:

This is just a toy example, of course. You can make your URIResolver as full-featured as necessary.
