I keep on finding myself writing Plain Old Bash (POB) recipes for this kind of stuff (automate the installation of tools)
Here is a recipe to get xalan installed and ready to be used just calling a command and passing the XML and XSL from the command line:
#!/bin/bash # # xalan-install.sh # # 1. Copy this recipe to a directory where you wish to install xalan. # 2. Run it and it will install XALAN_JAVA executable inside INSTAL_DIR # # # @author: Nestor Urquiza # @date: 20110211 # # echo "--- Install Xalan XSLT Standalone processor ---" set -e XALAN_JAVA=xalan INSTAL_DIR=xalan-processor mkdir -p $INSTAL_DIR cd $INSTAL_DIR curl -O http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/xalan/xalan/2.7.1/xalan-2.7.1.jar curl -O http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/xalan/serializer/2.7.1/serializer-2.7.1.jar curl -O http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/xerces/xercesImpl/2.9.0/xercesImpl-2.9.0.jar echo "#!/bin/bash" > $XALAN_JAVA echo "set -e" >> $XALAN_JAVA echo "USAGE=\"Usage: $XALAN_JAVA <path to xml> <path to xsl>\"" >> $XALAN_JAVA echo "if [ \$# -ne \"2\" ]; then echo \$USAGE; exit 1; fi" >> $XALAN_JAVA echo "CP=\"`find \".\" -name '*.jar' | xargs echo | tr ' ' ':'`\"" >> $XALAN_JAVA echo "CLASSPATH=\$CP:\$CLASSPATH" >> $XALAN_JAVA echo "export CLASSPATH" >> $XALAN_JAVA echo "java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN \$1 -XSL \$2" >> $XALAN_JAVA chmod +x $XALAN_JAVA echo "$XALAN_JAVA was installed in $INSTAL_DIR directory. Run this to start using xalan: cd $INSTAL_DIR; ./$XALAN_JAVA"It should be straightforward all you need to do to start using xalan is to navigate to the installation folder and run your transformation for example:
$ cd xalan-processor $ ./xalan ~/Downloads/portfolio-struct.xml ~/Downloads/portfolio-struct.xsl
Not sure if I will need to change this script down the road but most likely latest version should be available from my svn repo.
