Re: [xsl] embed Base64 content into xml element

[Hermann Stamm-Wilbrandt <STAMMW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Suresh,

from your posting I assume that you are trying to copy a file onto a
DataPower box using the XML Management interface.

In order to do so you have to use "dp:set-file" in the request and provide
the filename on the box in its attribute "name".
(you may want to have a look into this redpaper:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp4446.html)
If your file is really already base64 encoded replace "base64" in below
script by "cat", otherwise "base64" will do the encoding.

Doing the task you want in XSLT is not possible since opening the file with
document() function will result in an error if it is not an XML file (as
your file containing base64 data).
I would use the shell script below for doing what you want.

$ cat set-file
#!/bin/bash
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'
echo '<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>'
echo '<soapenv:Body>'
echo '<dp:request xmlns:dp="http://www.datapower.com/schemas/management";>'
echo '<dp:set-file name="'$1'">'
base64 $2
echo '</dp:set-file>'
echo '</dp:request>'
echo '</soapenv:Body>'
echo '</soapenv:Envelope>'
$ cat testfile
test
$ ./set-file local:///testfile testfile >set-file1.xml
$ cat set-file1.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>
<soapenv:Body>
<dp:request xmlns:dp="http://www.datapower.com/schemas/management";>
<dp:set-file name="local:///testfile">
dGVzdAo=
</dp:set-file>
</dp:request>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
$ curl -k -s -u user:password --data-binary @set-file1.xml
https://dp1-l3.boeblingen.de.ibm.com:5550/service/mgmt/current ; echo
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<env:Envelope
xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";><env:Body><dp:response

xmlns:dp="http://www.datapower.com/schemas/management";><dp:timestamp>2010-04-12T00:38:03
+02:00</dp:timestamp><dp:result>OK</dp:result></dp:response></env:Body></env:Envelope>
$

I have some content in base64 format in a text file. How can I embed
the base64 content into xml file.

For example :

base64 text file:
------------------------
RGVwbG95bWVudFx0ZW1wXE1vZGlmaW

Required output in XML File:
-----------------------------------------

<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>
            <env:Body>
                <dp:request
xmlns:dp="http://www.datapower.com/schemas/management";>
                    <dp:file> CONTENT FROM BASE64 TEXT FILE </dp:file>
                </dp:request>
            </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

How can I write XSLT?

Thanks.
