xslt to generate xml and also store the image in the folder

manu1905

Hi All,

My requirement is to create XSLT presentation template where the DCR having:

1.UID

2.Image

3.Link field

using this DCR, I should generate the o/p file which generate xml and also store the image which we browse in DCR (#2) in the folder we define in teamsite as:

UID+image extension of image in #2

example Smiley Very Happy CR

1.abc-123-345-uild-143

2./test/abc.jpg

3.http://google.com

then the xslt should generate the xml and also store the image some xyz folder in teamsite like:

abc-123-345-uild-143.jpg

image we can browse from:test folder like wwe did: abc.jpg

thanks

And that is what you were hired to do. So what is the problem?

If you must use XSL then you will need to write some Java. You could also do this with a TPL and a bit of Perl

Hi Andy,

I was able to do this with TPL + Perl, I just wanted to know if you have any java example to do with

xsl + java to copy the image in the folder as well.

thanks

store the image which we browse in DCR (#2) in the folder we define in teamsite as: UID+image extension of image in #2

-- This can be achieved at the DCR level itself, when you try to save a DCR, you can initiate a CallServer, and have its value stored as a hidden item in the form, this way you can access the value if needed in your XSLT through XPath.

Hi Pauliw,

thanks

Since you already have the ID/name of the image which you want to use in your xslt, you can have them captured as a hidden field.

For example,

if the image i refered through browse option is /test/abc.jpg, but i want this image to be copied as /xyx/abc-123-345-uild-143.jpg and refered in DCR. This is what i will do.

1) Create a empty hidden field.

2) use the logic of generating the new value(/xyx/abc-123-345-uild-143.jpg) and store it in this hidden filed.

3) Use call server to copy the file to the new path and rename them to abc-123-345-uild-143.jpg, can be done in perl or java.

Hi pauliw,

thanks for the response, I was able to do this using Perl earlier, I just want to know , how with Java we can get this done, any directions on that.

thanks

I guess you are looking for 3rd point, on how to implement in java,

If yes then you can call a servlet and pass the required parameters, and register the servlet in Datascource, like how we do as in for datascource.

Below is the call server, how u can use.

var url ="XXXXXXXX";
IWDatacapture.callServer(url, parameters, true);

Thanks
