serialize XML tree to text

Your XSLT is incorrect, you need to use saxon:serialize. String converts the
value of a node to a string, it doesn't serialize XML

Subject: [ops-users] serialize XML tree to text

Dear List,

I am still trying to insert a xml snippet into my postgres 
database table. The one thing I have seen is that it is 
possible to insert say:

<blip/>

So I thought I could put an extra processor in the pipeline 
that serializes my xml tree to text . . .

To my amazement orbeon eats all of my xml after serialzation.

I do not understand this.

Here's the code:

page-flow.xml:
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
------------
<config xmlns="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/controller">
 <page path-info="/replace-test/" default-submission="init.xml" 
model="replace.xpl" view="view.xsl"/>
 <epilogue url="oxf:/config/epilogue.xpl"/> </config>


init.xml:
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
------------
<blip/>


replace.xpl:
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
------------
<p:config xmlns:p="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/pipeline"
 xmlns:oxf="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/processors" >
 <p:param type="input" name="instance"/>
 <p:param type="output" name="data"/>

 <p:processor name="oxf:xslt">
   <p:input name="config" href="replace.xsl"/>
   <p:input name="data" href="#instance" debug="input"/>
   <p:output name="data" ref="data"/>
 </p:processor>

</p:config>


replace.xsl:
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

 <xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:value-of select="string(.)"/>
 </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


view.xsl:
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
 <xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>



What the fsck is goin on here?

Am I missing something?


Cheers

Alas  .. .

saxon:serialize:

<xsl:value-of select="saxon:serialize(/*, 'text')"/>

xxforms:serialize

<xsl:value-of select="xxforms:serialize(instance('instance'), 'text')"/>

Neither work.

It would be very helpfull if you could provide a working example.

cheers,


Michiel

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"

    xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/">

 

<xsl:output name="escaped" type="xml"/>

 

<xsl:template match="/*">

    <document>

This should work, but I haven't checked it. If it doesn't work, you should probably direct you problem to the XSL mail list as they will be able to help you more.

Ryan,

Thank you very much for the example. It works fine (apart from the type="xml" attr.).

My error was that I did not have saxon installed . . . . Doh!

Now that it's monday, after having a nice relaxing weekend . . . I have seen the light!

;-)

Cheers,
