Re: [xsl] Dynamic DTD declaration in output

["Mukul Gandhi gandhi.mukul@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Following is one approach that I can come up with (tested with Xalan-J),

Assuming there's following XSLT stylesheet (main.xsl),

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";

                         version="1.0">

    <xsl:output doctype-system="/path/to/docs.dtd" method="xml"
encoding="UTF-8" />

    <xsl:template match="test">
         <!-- stylesheet logic -->
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Following is a pre-process stylesheet (preprocess.xsl. uses an identity
transform, and modifying the value of attribute xsl:output/@doctype-system
via a stylesheet parameter),

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";

                         version="1.0">

    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

    <xsl:param name="DTDPath"/>

    <xsl:template match="node() | @*">
      <xsl:copy>
         <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
      </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="@doctype-system">
       <xsl:attribute name="doctype-system">
          <xsl:value-of select="$DTDPath"/>
       </xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

We can then run the transformation as follows,

java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in main.xsl -xsl preprocess.xsl -param
DTDPath mypath.dtd

The output produced by above transformation is following,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">

    <xsl:output doctype-system="mypath.dtd" method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"/>

    <xsl:template match="test">
       <!-- stylesheet logic -->
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

The above output, can then be used to transform your actual XML document.

The above preprocess transformation could be followed by your actual
transformation (the two transformations could be joined via a batch file or
a shell script), to produce the desired output.
