Saxon

Hi,

h2. Help appreciated, please, I don't seem to achieve multi-threading in applying an XSLT transformation.

h3. I'm not sure I am doing the correct thing but read doc and trying to implement a simple multi-threaded transformation.

Essentially the XSLT reads

So after reading some doc [here:[http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensions/attributes/threads.html]]

• I am running my Java simple transformer from a command line, no debuggers that are supposed to disable multi-threading;
• Not using any explicit configuration (as the default was supposed to be multi-threaded)
• Tried redundant measures (setting Configuration explicitly to multi-threaded or including saxon:asynchronous - probably useless

So when I am connecting JConsole to it, I can see that the Thread count increases only by 1.

Java transformer below

package co.uk.dufrain.obiee.mds;

import net.sf.saxon.Configuration;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;

public class SimpleTransform implements Runnable{

    private final String sourcePath;
    private final String xsltPath;
    private final String resultDir;


    /**
     * SimpleTransform transformation method.
     * @param sourcePath - Absolute path to source xml file.
     * @param xsltPath   - Absolute path to xslt file.
     * @param resultDir  - Absolute path to the result file
     */
    public SimpleTransform(String sourcePath, String xsltPath, String resultDir) {
        this.sourcePath = sourcePath;
        this.xsltPath = xsltPath;
        this.resultDir = resultDir;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        if (args.length != 3) {
            System.err.println("Usage: java SimpleTransform xmlfile stylesheet outfile");
            System.exit(1);
        }

        try {
//            this is to enable having the option to connect JConsole before the actual execution begins  
            System.in.read();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();  //To change body of catch statement use File | Settings | File Templates.
        }
        //Set saxon as transformer.
        System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory",
                "net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl");

        new Thread(
        new SimpleTransform(args[0], args[1], args[2])).start();

    }

    /**
     * @see Thread#run()
     */
    @Override
    public void run() {
        Configuration.newConfiguration().setMultiThreading(true);
        TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        try {
            Transformer transformer =
                    tFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(new File(xsltPath)));

            transformer.transform(new StreamSource(new File(sourcePath)),
                    new StreamResult(new File(resultDir)));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

h3. Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks Paul
