* i.e. InputXSLT now requires a C++14 supporting compiler / standard library implementation
* this was done while enabling the StreamInputSource to handle all kinds of streams
** this in turn is required to enable e.g. stdin as transformation source while preserving the correct filesystem context
|
|
* if the target parameter is not provided FunctionGenerate now performs exactly the same functionality as FunctionTransform
* added "boost::optional<boost::filesystem::path>" specialization to the XObjectValue class
* modified test cases accordingly
* modified README.md accordingly
|
|
* renamed FunctionExternalTextFormatter into FunctionExternalCommand
** the goal is to provide a general interface to a variety of external commands
*** e.g. not just text formatters but system utilities for file management and so on
** this requires the stdin parameter to be optional as not all external commands require stdin input
* implemented "filter_derived" helper template to determine amount of optional parameters
** optional parameters are defined as "boost::optional" specializations
*** they in turn can be detected by checking if "boost::optional_detail::optional_tag" is a base class
* "callConstructDocument" member method of "FunctionBase" performs additional bounds checking of parameter vector
* "boost::optional<std::string>" specific member overload was added to "XObjectValue" helper class
** we will have to provide full specializations for all optional types as C++ prohibits partial member function template specialization
* renamed the external function in "PlattformGuard"
* changed README.md and test cases accordingly
|
|
* its called a "platform" and not a "plattform" as in German...
|
|
* this function essentially provides the same functionality as FunctionTransform with the addition of directly committing the result to the filesystem
** this is needed if one wants to generate doctype-containing transformations from inside a transformation as "write-file" is not able to infer the doctype of a given xalan::XalanNode pointer
** this is a integral limitation of (at least) XSLT 1.0 as implemented in Apache Xalan
*** a document can of course only have a single document type
*** e.g. we can not include a doctype node in the result tree of FunctionTransform
* implemented test case for FunctionGenerate
* transformation "test.xsl" is shared between the FunctionTransform and FunctionGenerate test cases
* modified README.md accordingly

* FunctionTransform now accepts xalan::XalanNode base xalan::XSLTInputSource instances as input parameter
** such xalan::XSLTInputSource instances were already supported for the stylesheet parameter but not for the input parameter
** e.g. it is now possible to generate a DOM inside a transformation, pass the DOM into a embedded transformation as input, modifiy the output of that transformation, pass this modified DOM into another transformation and so on... you get the point
* this required a revamp of TransformationFacade
** it is now a transformation independent wrapper for xalan::XalanTransformer
*** as such is was renamed to TransformerFacade
** removed error catching template factory method "try_create" as it is not needed anymore
** "std::basic_ostream<char>&" taking "generate" member method overloads were removed
** the set of "generate" member overloads was reduced to two methods accepting xalan::XSLTInputSource and xalan::FormatterListener as parameters
* the core problem first documented in 299d0f6 was solved by transforming the input parameter into a xerces DOM and wrapping this DOM inside a xalan::XercesDOMWrapperParsedSource instance
* serialization of the transformation result for file / std::cout output is now performed directly by the ixslt frontend
* removed 'stylesheet parameter' parameter from FunctionTransform
** the functionality provided by this is easily replicated using the now possible DOM input parameter
** this was done to simplify the interface and reduce unnecessary feature duplication
* updated FunctionTransform test case accordingly
* added "generate" template function to ixslt frontend
** wraps TransformerFacade and manages ist input arguments
** handles serialization to stream
* this commit marks a important milestone towards the goals defined in 741a70f
|
|
* accepts a path parameter and the content to be written
* removed target parameter form FunctionTransform
** transformation result is now returned as a string
*** nodeset return value is planned
** e.g. writing the result to the fs is optional and has to be achieved using FunctionWriteFile
* changed "transform" test case accordingly
* this marks a paradigm shift and is the continuation of the changes described in 741a70f
** InputXSLT now also implements a output function
* added basic io error handling to FunctionReadFile
|
|
* FunctionReadFile is now able to distinguish between XML files and plain text files
** it selects the appropriate course of action automatically
** reading the file as XML into the DOM or reading it as a string
* the current selection criteria is the file extension
** I am thinking about trying to import every file into the DOM and using the result state of that action as selection criteria
* Updated README.md and test cases accordingly
|
|
* replaced std::tuple constructing Mapper template methods with direct XObjectArgVectorType unpacking
** XObjectValue::get template method is applied directly using parameter pack unpacking
* implemented custom IndexSequence / Sequence type to provide vector indexes
* modified all external functions to provide matching constructDocument overloads
|
|
* in difference to ErrorCapacitor this class doesn't throw an exception on "discharge" but returns the gathered warnings
* adapted FunctionTransform and frontend error handling to include warnings
* added static "try_create" method to TransformationFacade
** wraps construction error handling
** custom logic may be embedded using the std::function argument
*** this was implemented to prevent unneccessary code duplication for handling both construction and generation errors
* adapted FunctionTransform to return warning as "warning" nodes in the result tree
** added functional lambda expression factory method "handleErrors"
*** returns a error handling lambda expression for a given ResultNodeFacade
* implemented WarningGuard class in frontend executable
** guarantees warnings to be printed to std::cerr independent of any exceptions
|
|
* ErrorMultiplexer is derived from both xercesc::ErrorHandler and xalan::ProblemListener
* registers itself as XalanTransformer's ErrorHandler and ProblemListener
* distributes captured errors and warnings to all registered ErrorMultiplexer::Receiver instances
** ErrorCapacitor implements the ErrorMultiplexer::Receiver interface and as such registers itself in a given ErrorMultiplexer instance
** ErrorMultiplexer reduces the different xalan and xercesc internal error classifications into either warnings or errors
* this was implemented to make it possible to easily differentiate between warnings and errors
** previously warnings were treated as errors
** ErrorCapacitor ignores warnings and only captures errors
** WarningCapacitor will be implemented to handle warnings during XSLT processing
|
|
* improved "ixslt" frontend code structure
** extracted input, process and output logic into separate methods
** removed manual "--transformation" parameter check as it is defined as required
|
|
* ErrorHandler is replaced by ErrorCapacitor
** temporarily registers itself as both the ProblemListener and ErrorHandler of a given XalanTransformer instance
** deregisters itself on destruction
** collects all problems and errors during its lifetime inside a internal std::vector<std::string> instance
** if this instance is not empty it is thrown contained within a ErrorCapacitor::exception by the member method ErrorCapacitor::discharge
* this enables using the same code for handling transformation compilation and generation errors and problems
* updated test frontend accordingly
|
|
* InputXSLT::ErrorHandler is derived from xercesc::ErrorHandler and enables contextual printing of transformation errors
** currently this means that the error messages passed to std::cerr contain the full path of the offending transformation
* added input trimming to the external transform function
** calls to this function from inside a transformation may contain unnecessary whitespace characters which disrupt further processing
|
|
* importing XML output of a called executable into the result document required special logic which clashed with a general execute function
* general execute function may be implemented in the future
** support for external text formatters with XML output has a higher priority
* current implementation enables calling a markdown parser and including the XHTML output into the document
|
|
* enables execution of external programs
** second parameter is passed to stdin
** stdout is captured and returned
** based on booost::process
* this was implemented to enable access to external content preprocessors such as markdown
|
|
* wraps result node construction and appends it to root node on destruction
* offers a simpler interface for common node construction patterns
* simplifies result node construction in all external function implementations
** most noticeable in FunctionReadDirectory
* expanded FunctionReadDirectory result nodes by name, extension, and full-path nodes
|
|
* test case base template contains the basic test case markup
** it was mostly created to include include-path resolution into the test cases
* improved transformer helper template by separating the external function call into its own variable
|
|
* xalan / xerces offers the possibility of implementing custom entity resolvers which are called upon by "<xsl:include..."
** such a custom resolver was implemented to resolve include path entities
* this is a much better way to support include paths than offering a custom external "resolve-include" function
* as entity paths are expanded before they are passed to the entity resolver, a special "[path]" syntax simmilar to "#include <path>" had to be implemented
|
|
* resolves paths provided as strings against include paths provided through the newly created "--include" argument of the test executable
* this was implemented to enable central collections of XSLT libraries simmilar to how there are C headers in "/usr/include"
|
|
* FunctionBase::argument_tuple is a std::tuple specialization type specialized on the argument types passed inside the variadic template argument of FunctionBase
* added tuple Mapper and XObjectValue helper namespaces containing recursive tuple construction and XObjectPtr value extraction logic
* changed all external function implementations accordingly
* this change was implemented to uniformly support different external function argument types than std::string
|
|
* external functions may expect arguments with a type different from boost::filesystem::path so they are only provided raw string values
* moved xalan string conversion logic into separate compilation unit
|
|
* "InputXSLT:transform" expects two input arguments and executes the given transformation into the given target file
** this function respresents a important step in the direction of making it possible to write an actual static site generator on top of InputXSLT using XSLT
* added basic "transform" test case
* updated README.md to include this new function
|
|
* fixed compiler flag variable (previous content was deleted)
|
|
* removes responsibility for clearing parameters from the generate member methods
* abstracts parameter escaping and setting and handles map conversion
* marked actual generate member method as private and added StylesheetParameterGuard reference argument
** "frontend" generate member methods instantiate a StylesheetParameterGuard instance and pass it to the actual generate method
** this enables central default parameter definition while offering the possibility for custom parameters
|
|
* the directories below "./test" contain test cases
** "transformation.xsl" and the expected result as "reference.xml"
** tests are performed by "check.sh"
*** returns diff on error
* this system enables simple verification of external function results
** way simpler than C++ unit tests would be in this scenario
* expanded cmake instructions to automatically execute the test cases
* old example transformation was removed
|
|
* selectively testing document construction in plain C++ code has turned out to be more work than worth it
** i.e. removed test cases and GTest dependency
* added boost::program_options based frontent to InputXSLT
** example command: "./test --transformation ../dummy/transform.xsl --target out.xml"
** the plan is to use a simple shell script that generated test transformations and compares the output to reference files
|
|
* this was needed to share object files between the newly separated test-case and example target executables
* allows for easy development of multiple "frontends" to the same core functionality
|
|
* ... as a test of how well we are able to test DOM structures
* required change of constructDocument visibility
|
|
* DomDocumentCache::item class now is _finalized_ by default and doesn't perform document instantiation, just lifetime management
** xercesc::DOMDocument is instantiated inside the external function implementations and committed to the document cache for conversion to a xalan document
* added mutex with scoped lock to prevent concurrent write access to the std::unordered_map contained withing DomDocumentCache
* functionality of the _get_ member method was split into _get_ and _create_
** added typedef for std::pair specialization type "optional_item" that functions as the return value of _create_ and _get_
* "locator->getSystemId()" was leaking memory as xerces doesn't manage the lifetime of the returned heap-allocated char array
** analog to XMLCh* strings
** transformed XercesStringGuard into template class to be instantiated on either XMLCh or char
|
|
* up until now all external functions were locally installed to a specific XalanTransformer instance contained within a TransformationGuard instance
** this had to change as I planned to add a "execute-transformation" function based on TransformationGuard which would have led to recursive self-instantiation
** global external functions have to be thread-safe
* as global external function can not be provided with a reference to a transformation-specific FilesystemFacade instance, the working path is now determined using xalan::Locator
** currently using pointer arithmetics on XMLCh* to remove the "file://" prefix of the URI returned by locator->getSystemId(), may be unsafe
* added compilation unit for PlattformGuard as it now contains function installation in addition to plattform lifetime management
|
|
* the plan to return XML-nodes from each external function requires a better way to manage the lifetime of many xerces DOM document instances and their support class instances
** this is why DomDocumentCache and DomDocumentCache::item were implemented
** based on std::map so we can easily access the result of old function calls
* changed external read-directory function to return the children of the document node instead of the document node itself
** removes unnecessary cruft in function calls
** will make returning status codes alongside the function result more pleasing to the eye
* updated test transformation to reflect new features
|
|
* xercesc requires XMLCh* strings to be hand-allocated and released using the XMLString class
* XercesStringGuard works as a scope-guard for XMLCh* string lifetime and greatly simplifies xerces DOM construction
|
|
* contains a single, compiled transformation as specified by its construction argument
* uses the transformation's location as the FilesystemContext
* allows generation of output documents using _generate_ member method
|
|
* Wrapped xerces DOM and support class instances in now DomDocumentGuard scope-guard class
* FunctionReadDirectory class contains interal std::stack instance to store DomDocumentGuard instances
** wrapped in std::shared_ptr as FunctionReadDirectory is internally cloned by xalan...
** this is needed as the DOM has to preserved longer than the external function execution scope
* Sadly XMLCh xerces strings have to be manually released
** added appropriate xercesc::XMLString::release calls
* xalan::XercesDOMWrapperParsedSource does not mirror a given xerces DOM but convert it on instantiation
** this is why there is a dedicated finalize member method in InputXSLT::DomDocumentGuard
* In short: I do not like the amount of trickery needed to simply prevent memory leaks in this context
** there sadly doesn't seem to be a substantially easier way to return arbitrary DOM trees from a external function
|
|
* _read-directory_ lists all files in a given directory
** currently text-only output, xml planned
* improved FilesystemContext path resolution (relative path is fully resolved by boost::filesystem)
|
|
* this class provides methods for resolving paths relative to the contained base path
* other filesystem interaction methods will also be implemented in this class
** for instance directory traversal
|
|
* while plain read access on files is doesn't require boost::filesystem it will greatly simplify the implementation of external directory traversal functions
* it also improves the portability of relative path construction
|
|
* there is no reason for performing system-calls instead of using the features offered by the standard library in this situation
|
|
* one expects a read-file function to work relative to the directory the transformation is located and not to the executable's location
** from the perspective of the user the transformation is the application, not the actual executable
* removed PlattformGuard struct from TransformerGuard (now TransformerFacade)
* TransformerFacade is instatiated with the appropriate relative working path
** i.e. it will have to be instantiated for every directory containing one or more transformations
|
|
* InputXSLT::PlattformGuard handles xerces and xalan construction and lifetime
* InputXSLT::TransformerGuard instantiates PlattformGuard, configurates external functions
** offers execute method for "executing" a XSL tranformation with empty input
|
|
* .. in the face of the planned development of usable external functions using the current proof-of-concept coding
* replaced usage of std::shared_ptr in FunctionReadXmlFile class with explicit implementation of default and copy constructor
* separated implementation and interfaces
|
|
* command "read-xml-file" reads a XML file and allows it to be transformed by the calling XSLT
* this will allow workflows like the following:
** a tranformation reads all the markdown files in a directory
** these markdown files are converted to a xml representation by a external function calling a appropriate C++ markdown parser
** the XML representation of each markdown file is converted to XHTML inside the XSL transformation
** ... and embedded into the output XHTML document
** => all inside a single XSL tranformation
*** i.e. it is provided with only a empty dummy XML input file and fetches the actual input by itself
* as all current code contained within this repository this is just a quick and dirty proof-of-concept and not in any way good code
|
|
* changed relative paths of input files to accomodate builds inside a separate directory
