Re: invoking XT from the command line (was RE: a newbie question)

["TaNiA" <tania@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Mike, Tom and Barton,

Thanks heaps for your help!!!!!

I finally got XT working.

I had to do this:


    java -cp ../tmp/xt.jar:../tmp/xp.jar:../tmp/sax.jar
com.jclark.xsl.sax.Driver test2.xml test2.xsl output.html

and the command
    java com.jclark.xsl.sax.Driver test2.xml test2.xsl output.html

worked fine as long as the CLASSPATH was set properly.

I really appreciate all your help.

Many thanks again,

a very grateful me,
tania

Do not use the above command line as-is. If you are using XP for your
parser, you don't need to have the
-Dcom.jclark.xsl.sax.parser=your-sax-driver argument on the command line.
This is sufficient:

java com.jclark.xsl.sax.Driver MySource.xml MyStylesheet.xsl

In order for this to work, you need:
 . a java interpreter (which it sounds like you have),
 . MySource.xml and MyStylesheet.xsl
 . the following in your classpath:
      xt.jar
      sax.jar
      xp.jar
      and the core Java classes (classes.zip)

If you are having trouble setting the appropriate classpath in your
environment, you can also put it on the command line. You said you're on a
UNIX system, so the following should work. Replace /path/to with the
appropriate, explicit paths to the .zip and .jar files you need.

java -classpath
/path/to/jdk/lib/classes.zip:/path/to/xt/xt.jar:/path/to/xt/sax.jar:/path/to
/xp.jar com.jclark.xsl.sax.Driver MySource.xml MyStylesheet.xsl

The same thing will work on MS-DOS if you reverse the slashes and use
semicolons instead of colons as separators in the classpath argument.
