Unable to find transformer in java to replace values dynamically for existing XSLT file and vice versa

Can someone provide me the source code for replacing values dynamically for existing XSLT file using java object
XSLT File:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="CheckDomainCmd"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="CheckDomainCmd">
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0 epp-1.0.xsd">
<command>
<check>
<domain:check xmlns:domain="http://www.nic.cz/xml/epp/domain-1.4" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.nic.cz/xml/epp/domain-1.4 domain-1.4.xsd">
<domain:name><xsl:value-of select="DomainName"/>.<xsl:value-of select="TLD" /></domain:name>
</domain:check>
</check>
<clTRID>
<xsl:value-of select="RIMTransactionID"/>
</clTRID>
</command>
</epp>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Java Object:
public class checkDomain {
private String DomainName;
private String TLD;
private String RIMTransactionID;
// getters and setters
}
I need a source code in java/spring to put values to the XSLT select attribute dynamically.
For Example, in java object we have the following values, how to transform java object values to XSLT attributes:
public class XSLTConversion {
public static void main(String[] args) {
CheckDomain checkDomain = new CheckDomain():
checkDomain.setDomainName("test");
checkDomain.setTLD("com");
checkDomain.setRIMTransactionID("qwertyco123456");
replaceValuesToXSLTFile(checkDomain, "checkdomain.xslt");
}
public static void replaceValuesToXSLTFile(CheckDomain checkDomain, String fileName) {
}
}
After transformation, I need the file content like below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="CheckDomainCmd"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="CheckDomainCmd">
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0 epp-1.0.xsd">
<command>
<check>
<domain:check xmlns:domain="http://www.nic.cz/xml/epp/domain-1.4" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.nic.cz/xml/epp/domain-1.4 domain-1.4.xsd">
<domain:name><xsl:value-of select="test"/>.<xsl:value-of select="com" /></domain:name>
</domain:check>
</check>
<clTRID>
<xsl:value-of select="qwertyco123456"/>
</clTRID>
</command>
</epp>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Your XSLT code needs to declare global parameters and reference them:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:param name="DomainName"/>
<xsl:param name="TLD"/>
<xsl:param name="RIMTransactionID"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="CheckDomainCmd"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="CheckDomainCmd">
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0 epp-1.0.xsd">
<command>
<check>
<domain:check xmlns:domain="http://www.nic.cz/xml/epp/domain-1.4" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.nic.cz/xml/epp/domain-1.4 domain-1.4.xsd">
<domain:name><xsl:value-of select="$DomainName"/>.<xsl:value-of select="$TLD" /></domain:name>
</domain:check>
</check>
<clTRID>
<xsl:value-of select="$RIMTransactionID"/>
</clTRID>
</command>
</epp>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
then your Java code can create a Transformer from the XSLT and use e.g. transformer.setParameter("TLD", checkDomain.getTLD()) (see https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/xml/transform/Transformer.html#setParameter-java.lang.String-java.lang.Object-) and so on for the other parameters before calling the transform method.

Remove custom xml namespaces with xslt

I am trying to remove namespaces in an xml document and getting the following error:
ERROR: 'The prefix "car" for element "car:name" is not bound.'
ERROR: 'com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: The prefix "car" for element "car:name" is not bound.'
Here's my xml file:
<car:name>Toyota Corolla</car:name>
<car:year>2000</car:year>
Here's my removeNs.xslt
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:variable name="vLowercase" select="'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'" />
<xsl:variable name="vUppercase" select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'" />
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element
name="{concat(translate(substring(local-name(), 1, 1),
$vUppercase, $vLowercase),
substring(local-name(), 2))}">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="#*">
<xsl:attribute name="{local-name(.)}">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
and my java method:
private static String stripNameSpaces(String inXml) {
String outputXml = "";
try {
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Source xslt = new StreamSource(new File("./src/main/resources/removeNs.xslt"));
Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(xslt);
Source text = new StreamSource(new StringReader(inXml));
transformer.transform(text, new StreamResult(writer));
outputXml = writer.toString();
} catch (TransformerConfigurationException tcEx) {
tcEx.printStackTrace();
return tcEx.getMessage();
} catch (TransformerException tEx) {
tEx.printStackTrace();
return tEx.getMessage();
}
return outputXml;
}
My guess is that I have to add something to removeNs.xslt but have not been able to figure out what. If someone could help me with this, I'd really appreciate it

Need to parse XML with html elements

I have an xml file like the following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Book>
<Title>Ulysses</Title>
<Author>James <b>Joyce</b></Author>
</Book>
I need to parse this using Java into a pojo like
title="Ulysses"
author="James <b>Joyce</b>"
In other words, I need the html or possible custom xml tags to remain as plain text rather than xml elements, when parsing.
I can't edit the XML at all but it would be ok for me to create a custom xslt file to transform the xml.
I've got the following Java code for using xslt to assist with the reading of the xml,
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Source stylesheetSource = new StreamSource(new File(stylesheetPathname).getAbsoluteFile());
Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(stylesheetSource);
Source inputSource = new StreamSource(new File(inputPathname).getAbsoluteFile());
Result outputResult = new StreamResult(new File(outputPathname).getAbsoluteFile());
transformer.transform(inputSource, outputResult);
This does apply my xslt to the file which is written out but I can't come up with the correct xslt to do it. I had a look at Add CDATA to an xml file but this does not work for me.
Essentially, I believe I want the file to look like
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Book>
<Title>Ulysses</Title>
<Author><![CDATA[James <b>Joyce</b>]]></Author>
</Book>
Then I can extract
"James <b>Joyce</b>". I tried the approach suggested here: Add CDATA to an xml file
But it did not work for me.
I used the following xslt:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="no"/>
<xsl:template match="Author">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[</xsl:text>
<xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">]]></xsl:text>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
and this produced:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Ulysses
<Author><![CDATA[
<b>Joyce</b>]]></Author>
Can you please help with this? I want the original document to be written out in it's entirety but with the CDATA surrounding everything within the author element.
Thanks

Isn't using a simple html/xml parser like Jsoup a better way of solving this?
Using Jsoup you can try something like this:
import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Element;
import org.jsoup.parser.Parser;
import org.jsoup.select.Elements;
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String xml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n"
+ "<Book>\n"
+ " <Title>Ulysses</Title>\n"
+ " <Author>James <b>Joyce</b></Author>\n"
+ "</Book>";
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(xml, "", Parser.xmlParser());
doc.outputSettings().prettyPrint(false);
Elements books = doc.select("Book");
for(Element e: books){
Book b = new Book(e.select("Title").html(),e.select("Author").html());
System.out.println(b.title);
System.out.println(b.author);
}
}
public static class Book{
String title;
String author;
public Book(String title, String author) {
this.title = title;
this.author = author;
}
}
}

With XSLT 3.0 as supported by Saxon 9.8 HE (available on Maven and Sourceforge) you can use XSLT as follows:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:math="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/math"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs math"
version="3.0">
<xsl:output cdata-section-elements="Author"/>
<xsl:mode on-no-match="shallow-copy"/>
<xsl:template match="Author">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*"/>
<xsl:value-of select="serialize(node())"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
As for your attempt, you basically need to "implement" the identity transformation template concisely written in XSLT 3.0 as <xsl:mode on-no-match="shallow-copy"/> as a template
<xsl:template match="#* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
in XSLT 1.0 so that those nodes not handled by more specialized template (like the one for Author elements) are recursively copied through.
Then, with the copy-of selecting all child nodes node() and not only the element nodes * you get
<xsl:template match="Author">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*"/>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[</xsl:text>
<xsl:copy-of select="node()"/>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">]]></xsl:text>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Values empty on CSV file

I am able to generate CSV file from XML file using XSLT, but the only header of XML file header is only showing on CSV file. The Values are not showing up.
Here is my java code:-
import java.io.File;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.Result;
import javax.xml.transform.Source;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
public class xml2csv {
public static void main() throws Exception {
File stylesheet = new File("C:/Users/Admin/Desktop/out.xslt");
File xmlSource = new File("C:/Users/Admin/Desktop/out.xml");
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = builder.parse(xmlSource);
StreamSource stylesource = new StreamSource(stylesheet);
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(stylesource);
Source source = new DOMSource(document);
Result outputTarget = new StreamResult(new File("C:/Users/Admin/Desktop/out.csv"));
transformer.transform(source, outputTarget);
}
}
the XML file:-
<root>
<header>Symbol</header>
<row>NIFTY 50</row>
<row>LUPIN</row>
<header>Open</header>
<row>9,670.35</row>
<row>1,082.90</row>
<header>High</header>
<row>9,684.25</row>
<row>1,137.00</row>
</root>
XSLT file:-
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" >
<xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="no"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
Symbol,Open,High
<xsl:for-each select="//header">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(Symbol, ',', Open, ',', High)"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
So, I am getting only header of XML using this XSLT, where am I going wrong?

If I am guessing correctly at what you're trying to accomplish here, you will need to do something like:
XSLT 1.0
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/root">
<!-- header -->
<xsl:text>Symbol,Open,High
</xsl:text>
<!-- data -->
<xsl:variable name="n" select="count(row) div 3" />
<xsl:for-each select="row[position() <= $n]">
<xsl:variable name="i" select="position()" />
<xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:text>","</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="../row[$n + $i]"/>
<xsl:text>","</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="../row[2 * $n + $i]"/>
<xsl:text>"
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Applied to your input example, the result will be:
Symbol,Open,High
"NIFTY 50","9,670.35","9,684.25"
"LUPIN","1,082.90","1,137.00"
I have added quotes around the values because some of them contain commas - but I did not handle the possibility of some them containing a quote.
As I mentioned in a comment to your question, this could be a lot easier if your XML were structured in a more friendly way.

XSLT: how can I filter out all elements with a specific namespace

========= UPDATE =========
Many thanks to Tomalak for the correct XSL syntax, and to Ian Roberts for pointing out that in order to use namespaces in my XSLT, I need to call "setNamespaceAware(true)" at the very beginning, in my DocumentBuilderFactory.
========= END UPDATE =========
Q: How can I write an XSLT stylesheet that filters out all elements and/or all node trees in the "http://foo.com/abc" namespace?
I have an XML file that looks like this:
SOURCE XML:
<zoo xmlns="http://myurl.com/wsdl/myservice">
<animal>elephant</animal>
<exhibit>
<animal>walrus</animal>
<animal>sea otter</animal>
<trainer xmlns="http://foo.com/abc">Jack</trainer>
</exhibit>
<exhibit xmlns="http://foo.com/abc">
<animal>lion</animal>
<animal>tiger</animal>
</exhibit>
</zoo>
DESIRED RESULT XML:
<zoo xmlns="http://myurl.com/wsdl/myservice">
<animal>elephant</animal>
<exhibit>
<animal>walrus</animal>
<animal>sea otter</animal>
</exhibit>
</zoo>
XSLT (thanks to Tomalak):
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:a="http://foo.com/abc"
exclude-result-prefixes="a"
>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="#* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#* | node()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="a:* | #a:*" />
</xsl:stylesheet>
Thank you in advance!

Empty templates match nodes but do not output anything, effectively removing what they match.
