XPointer in XPL

Hi,

I want to get a filename from my url parameters and use it
directly in the identity processor. The code below does not
work, although I can get the text of the filename I want. I
suspect there is a quick method for this. Appreciate any
ideas.

Thanks,
Hank

<p:processor name="oxf:request">
<p:input name="config">
<config>
<include>/request/parameters</include>
</config>
</p:input>
<p:output name="data" id="params"/>
</p:processor>

<p:processor name="oxf:identity">
<p:input name="data" href="#params#xpointer(/request/
parameters[name='file']/value/text())"/>
<p:output name="data" id="file"/>
</p:processor>

Re: XPointer in XPL

Hank,

"...use it directly in the identity processor..." - what do you mean
by that?

What are you going to do with the value of /request/
parameters[name='file']/value ? How are you going to use it?

It looks the identity processor is not necessary.

Re: Re: XPointer in XPL

I want to "load" this file -- the file referenced in the url parameter.

Equivalent to:

<p:processor name="oxf:identity">
<p:input name="data" href="oxf:/the/path/in/my/request/parameter"/>
<p:output name="data" id="file"/>
</p:processor>

Then I will use it as input to xslt. (Well, first I wanted to look
at it by serializing it back.)

Thanks,
Hank

Re: Re: Re: XPointer in XPL

I think you will need to use the url-generator: http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/processors-generators-url

Your xpl could look something like this:

<p:processor name="oxf:request">
<p:input name="config">
<config>
<include>/request/parameters</include>
</config>
</p:input>
<p:output name="data" id="params"/>
</p:processor>



<p:processor name="oxf:xslt">
<p:input name="data" href="#params"/>
<p:input name="config">
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0">
<xsl:template match="/request/parameters[name='file']/
value">
<config>
<url>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</url>
<content-type>text/html</content-type>
<tidy-options>
<show-warnings>false</show-warnings>
<quiet>true</quiet>
</tidy-options>
</config>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
</p:input>
<p:output name="data" id="urlgencnfg"/>
</p:processor>

<p:processor name="oxf:url-generator">
<p:input name="config" href="#urlgencnfg"/>
<p:output name="data" id="theDoc"/>
</p:processor>

Yes, that is precisely it. Thanks Alex.

Re: XPointer in XPL

In reply to this post by Hank Ratzesberger

The reason it doesn't work I think is that the result of your XPath
expression is text, which will have trouble going to the processor
output without being encapsulated. Often, we solve this by writing
things like:

aggregate('root-element', #params#xpointer(/request/
parameters[name='file']/value/text()))
