URI/Entity Resolver Not Called?

Added by Michael Livingston almost 12 years ago

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get my URI or Entity resolver to be called for a file included as an external entity file. Here is a fragment of the stylesheet:


  %dynamic;
]>

My goal is to resolve dynamic.ent at runtime, setting various entities as needed. I have set the URI resolver on the transformer factory and tried a number of other angles, but when I try to get the transformer my resolver is not hit and the call fails trying to find the "file" dynamic.ent.

What must I do to get the XML parser to hit my resolver?

Thanks in advance,

Michael

The URIResolver is used by the XSLT/XQuery engine to resolve URIs found at that level of the system; entity references within a document are handled by the XML parser, and use an EntityResolver.

So you need an EntityResolver here. Create an XMLReader, set the EntityResolver, wrap it in a SAXSource, and supply this as the input to the transformation (in this case, when creating the Templates object, assuming you are using JAXP).

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the quick reply! It took me a little while to implement your suggestion but it work great and I am on my way. I did get quite a bit of insight in to how the documents are managed: I have quite a few imports and includes and see how they are handled individually.

Again, thanks for you help...

Michael
