Generating HTML and JSP using xsl through workflow.

I have new version of TeamSIte on Linux environment 7.4.1. I am trying to generate html file using xsl though java code.

I am able to generate html/jsp using standalone java code from my windows system but same code when I am using through my workflow it is not generating and giving error the file or directory is not available or permissions denied.

//bvasndd04.ilg.ad/default/main/ecommerce/IntervalWorld/WORKAREA/Common/ii/employment1.jsp

The below standalon ecode I am using to generate html file from my local machine

final TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();

Transformer transformer;

FileOutputStream oFs =

null;

try {

String xml=

"/Users/c_gbarala/Desktop/html/posting";

String xsl=

"/Users/c_gbarala/Desktop/html/employment.xsl";

String output=

"/Users/c_gbarala/Desktop/html/test.jsp";

oFs =

new FileOutputStream(output);

transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(

new StreamSource(xsl));

// Transforming the XML using the XSL into the output file format

transformer.transform(

new StreamSource(xml), new StreamResult(oFs));

}

catch (Exception exception) {

exception.printStackTrace();

}

When I am using this in my urlexternal task and passing xml, xsl, output from CSSDK code it is not working. It is giving error as below

2014-11-25 10:48:34,127 [http-0.0.0.0-8080-14] ERROR com.interval.cms.service.GenerateHtml () - /bvasndd04.ilg.ad/default/main/ecommerce/IntervalWorld/WORKAREA/Common/ii/employment.jsp (No such file or directory)

try

{

logger.info("Start GenerateHTML");

templatedata_path = task.getVariable("templatedata_path");

dcr_type = task.getVariable("dcr_type");

dcr_name = task.getVariable("dcr_name");

logger.info(new StringBuffer("The Template type is: ").append(templatedata_path));

logger.info(new StringBuffer("The dcr_type is: ").append(dcr_type));

logger.info(new StringBuffer("The dcr name is: ").append(dcr_name));

final String initialWorkArea = task.getArea().getVPath().toString();

logger.info(new StringBuffer("DCR Relative path is").append(initialWorkArea).toString());

final String dcrDefaultPath = new StringBuffer(initialWorkArea).toString();

final String xslFilePath = "/presentation/employment.xsl";

final String outputFilePath = new StringBuffer(initialWorkArea).toString();

String xml =

new StringBuffer(dcrDefaultPath).append("/").append(templatedata_path).append("/data/").append(dcr_name).toString();

String xsl =

new StringBuffer(dcrDefaultPath).append("/").append(templatedata_path).append(xslFilePath).toString();

String output =

new StringBuffer(dcrDefaultPath).append("/").append("/ii/employment.jsp").toString();

oFs = new FileOutputStream(output);

transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(

new StreamSource(xsl));

// Transforming the XML using the XSL into the output file format

transformer.transform(

new StreamSource(xml), new StreamResult(oFs));

task.chooseTransition(task.getTransitions()[0],

"Going to next Task");

logger.info("working fine");

Please let me know what may be the issue. Any pointers. This same code i used when I installed TeamSite on windows and replace the server name with Y drive and able to generate html but not in linux.....

Part of your code is missing so it's hard to say exactly, but it sounds like you're doing pathing all wrong.

Firstly, you should be writing to a CSSDK object and not to the Y drive. There's nothing in your code about the CSSDK.

Second, it looks like your target output path is wrong. From your error message, that's not a valid file system path (it doesn't have Y:\ in front of it and the slashes are on the wrong side; or for linux, you're missing /iwmnt; in both cases the server name shouldn't be there) and it's not a valid vpath either (you're missing a second forward slash before the server name).

Lastly, if you look at (or provide) the full stack trace once these items are resolved, it will likely be easier to identify the real cause of the problem.

final String initialWorkArea = task.getArea().getVPath().toString();

After that using this work area code i am generating xml path where dcr is there and then xsl path where xsl is present and output file name when it should generate using below code

String xml = new StringBuffer(dcrDefaultPath).append("/").append(templatedata_path).append("/data/").append(dcr_name).toString();

String xsl = new StringBuffer(dcrDefaultPath).append("/").append(templatedata_path).append(xslFilePath).toString();

String output = new StringBuffer(dcrDefaultPath).append("/").append("/ii/").append("employment.jsp").toString();

And passing the values to below code

oFs =new FileOutputStream(output);

transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(xsl));

// Transforming the XML using the XSL into the output file format

transformer.transform(new StreamSource(xml), new StreamResult(oFs));

I am using this in my linux environment. As per your repsonse do i need to generate my path according to below paths:-

final String xml1 = "/opt/iwmnt/default/main/ecommerce/IntervalWorld/WORKAREA/Common/templatedata/job/postings/data/postings";

final String xsl1 = "/opt/iwmnt/default/main/ecommerce/IntervalWorld/WORKAREA/Common/templatedata/job/postings/presentation/employment.xsl";

final String output1 = "/opt/iwmnt/default/main/ecommerce/IntervalWorld/WORKAREA/Common/ii/employment1.jsp";

Please suggest me. Thanks for the response.

This piece:

String output = new StringBuffer(dcrDefaultPath).append("/").append("/ii/").append("employment.jsp").toString();
oFs =new FileOutputStream(output);

will not work because "output" here will store a vpath including the server name, and not a file path. Therefore, the value of "oFs" is probably null at this point.

Now you could convert //server/default/main/blah to a path of the form /opt/iwmnt/default/main/blah, but that would not be the "best practice" approach. Instead, you should be using the CSSDK and doing something like this:

CSFile dcr = task.getArea().getFile(new CSAreaRelativePath(templatedata_path + "/data/" + dcr_name));
if (dcr == null || dcr.getKind() != CSSimpleFile.KIND) {
  throw new IllegalArgumentException("Target file does not exist");
}
oFs = ((CSSimpleFile)dcr).getOutputStream(true);

I am able to create output file using CSSDK code but my actual requirement is i need to pass multiple xsl files to the given DCR file and generate output corrresponding to given XSL file in templating.cfg file.

This is the working code for generating output file but i want to convert this code to take multiple xsl files generate corresponding output file and attach to the workflow task for further deployment.

Please find attached the working code. Please take a look and let me suggest how can I achieve it. Please suugest.

In the code i am passing presentation file as per below but i want to pass multiple presentation templates

String presentationTemplateEmp =new StringBuffer(initialWorkArea).append("/").append(templatedata_path).append("/presentation/employment.xsl").toString();

CSFile presentationTemplatePath = client.getFile(new CSVPath(presentationTemplateEmp));

if(presentationTemplatePath != null && presentationTemplatePath.getKind() == CSSimpleFile.KIND){

logger.info("Presentation Template: " + presentationTemplatePath.getUAI());

In the below code i am passing generate output relative path for output generation but i need to pass multiple output files to generate one by one based on given xsl files in templating.cfg.

String generatedFileRelativePath ="ii/employment.jsp";

CSWorkarea area = (CSWorkarea) dcrFile.getArea();logger.info("area" + area.getName().toString());

CSFile generatedFile = area.getFile(new CSAreaRelativePath(generatedFileRelativePath));

Can you please suggest how can I pass multiple xsl and generate multiple outputs's as per the requirement.

Any pointers.

Without looking at your attached code - the answer would seem somewhat obvious: Loop.

Is there some reason that you are unable to perform a loop around each DCR such that each time through the loop you process the DCR with a different XSL and generates a different output file?
