saving xml on relative files

Hi,
I'm trying to save a file relative to an XPL file, but the relative paths on the file-serializer are relative to the Tomcat classpath and url-serializer doesn't accept relative files. Is there a processor I'm missing?

Thanks

Ryan

Re: saving xml on relative files

Hi Ryan,
Wont the 'file:/' protocol serves your requirement? Or I presume that you can use the @path of 'oxf:directory-scanner' output to obtain the absolute path in the file:/ context from the oxf: relative context. Wont it be possible to save your file relative to the xpl file this way? In that case too you have to provide the oxf: relative path.

Thanks

Hi Ryan,

I don't see any way to save a file relative to the current XPL file.
Maybe the file serializer could be modified to take into account the
base URI of its config when the path is relative.

Re: saving xml on relative files

Alex,
This would be nice, I found a work around, by using the directory-scanner to find the relative directory and then using the file-serializer to save the file. I guess this process could be done in the processor itself when relative paths are provided?

Thanks

Hi Ryan,

Yes, I guess. More precisely, this is what I had in mind: assuming the
path for the file is relative, the File serializer could get the URI
that corresponds to the "config" input, and consider that the relative
path is relative to that URI. If the "config" in embedded in XPL, than
the URI would be a file: URI that points to the XPL file. You can the
the URI for the config using the Locator API (see below). You can give
this a shot if you think that this makes sense and feel like
implementing it.
