Xalan: The org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process Class

Extends: java.lang.Object

Members

Overview

Command line interface to transform an XML document according to the instructions found in an XSL stylesheet.

The Process class provides basic functionality for performing transformations from the command line. To see a list of arguments supported, call with zero arguments.

To set stylesheet parameters from the command line, use -PARAM name expression. If you want to set the parameter to a string value, simply pass the string value as-is, and it will be interpreted as a string. (Note: if the value has spaces in it, you may need to quote it depending on your shell environment).

Example of Usage

Generally it is used to as below:

java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process –IN input.xml –XSL input.xsl –OUT output.html

The above commandline option will transform input.xml by applying input.xsl and will produce output.html.

You can give different options as below.

Xalan-J command line Process class options:
