* a single file may be passed to the XSLT processor as input
** the file is read once and stored within a xalan::XalanParsedSource to be reused by all calls to "TransformationFacade::generate"
* added appropriate TranformationFacade constructor overload
** this new constructor overload which is taking a path to both the transformation and the input file is the main constructor
*** the old constructor is now only a alias for this new constructor
* adapted static "try_create" TransformationFacade factory method into variadic template factory method
* added optional "--input" argument to ixslt
** expanded option handling accordingly
|
|
* extracted system id handling into separate "resolve" method overload of "IncludeEntityResolver" class
* paths to be resolved against the include path vector are enclosed by square brackets
** FilesystemContext for external functions was instantiated using the unmodified systemId provided by xalan::Locator
** this commit adds include path resolution to that step
*** exceptions were thrown as the program tried to instantiate a FilesystemContext instance without resolving the square bracket syntax
* changed FunctionTransform "target" attribute content to the target path filename instead of the full path
|
|
* external DOM may cause xercesc::DOMException's to be thrown instead of passing all errors to the custom error handlers
** these exceptions are handled by this commit by setting the "result" attribute to "error" and adding "error" value nodes with further information
|
|
* 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
|
|
* removes xalan and boost::filesystem::fstream dependencies from FunctionReadXmlFile
* xercesc provides a solution for loading files into it's XercesDOMParser class
** this should be used instead of building a custom replacement using boost's fstream and xalan::XSLTInputSource
|
|
* the root node of the result tree of each function is a domain element
** i.e. the root node of "read-xml-file" is "file", the root node of "read-directory" is "directory"
* the root node contains the result state of the function call encoded in a "result" attribute
** possible values are "success" and "error"
** the root node may contain additional attributes such as the target path of a called transformation
* the actual function result is contained within the child nodes of the function root node
** i.e. the XML file tree returned by "read-xml-file" is a child of the function root node
** if specific errors occured they are also returned as child nodes of the function root node
*** this is currently only the case for "transform" where transformation errors are returned as "error" value node childs of the function root node
* updated test cases accordingly
|
|
* 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
|
|
* ErrorHandler class created in 5859cb6 now caches all errors instead of pushing them to std::cerr
** cached errors are retrieved by TransformationFacade's "generate" member method
* test frontend pushes all errors to std::cerr
* FunctionTransform returns errors to the calling template as XML
** FunctionTransform test case demonstrates how one may test for successful transformation
* "generate" member method returns std::string vector wrapped in a std::unique_ptr
** this is used as a kind of optional pointer, as the std::unique_ptr instance only wraps a vector if errors where actually generated
|
|
* std::string specialization of "get" template method
* replaces FunctionTransform local input trimming implemented in 5859cb6
|
|
* 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
|
|
* there are situations where one may pass absolute paths to external functions which should not be resolved against the context path
** for example when reading files found by "read-directory" through its "full" value node
* this could be checked by the external functions themself
** but as this check is required by all of them it is better implemented in the FilesystemContext
|
|
* 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
|
|
* InputXSLT is dependent on boost anyway, so there is no argument to be made to emulate boost::optional using std::pair
|
|
* if a given file can not be located relative to the transformation's location both "read-file" and "read-xml-file" will now try to resolve the path using the IncludeEntityResolver
* all external functions based on the FunctionBase template are now provided with a pointer to a IncludeEntityResolver instance
* it is determined by the external function implementation whether include path resolution will be used
|
|
* 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"
|
|
* names matter, from now on parameters to external functions will be called parameters uniformly instead of mixing arguments and parameters
|
|
* the given XObject is passed to the called transformation
** this was done to enable templates to pass information to each other
** this should support any type usable in a XPath context to be passed as an argument
* expanded FunctionTransform test case accordingly
|
|
* 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
|
|
* constructDocument member method is provided with a FunctionBase::argument_array instance
* improved argument validation in FunctionBase
* this parameter was added to support FunctionBase as a base class for FunctionTransform
|
|
* "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
|
|
* using std::unordered_map for named cache lookups was a nice idea but is not useful when one keeps in mind that:
** we don't want cached external function responses in a situation where we are able to execute transformations inside transformations
** cached responses mean that we can not read a xml file, overwrite it using another transformation and then read it again
* the currently available InputXSLT frontend only processes a single transformation anyway, so increased memory requirements should not pose a problem
** if a future frontend should offer batch processing of transformation tasks, one could implement a cache reset method to free memory after a transformation has been processed
|
|
* as the xerces document is not instantiated by DomDocumentCache::item and the class only exports a pointer to the converted xalan document, it makes no sense to expose the class to the outside in the first place
|
|
* 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
|
|
* ... as a test of how well we are able to test DOM structures
* required change of constructDocument visibility
|
|
* common parts were moved into CRTP template base class _FunctionBase_
* all external functions are derived from that class
** only have to implement _constructDocument_ member method
** currently only supports a single string input parameter which is enough for now
* this change condenses external funtion implementations to the essential and should increase readability as well as maintainability
|
|
* this change makes the underlying similarity between all currently implemented external functions obvious
* they more or less only differ in their document construction logic
** i.e. there is a possibility for a second layer of abstraction between the classes derived from xalan::Function and the actual functionality
* added boost::filesystem::path taking overload of the _iterate_ member method to FilesystemGuard
** this overload functions as the _master_ overload that is called by all other overloads which merely perform type conversion and path resolution
** this overload doesn't perform path resolution
|
|
* all instantiations of a FilesystemContext are currently based on information provided by a xalan::Locator instance provided to the external function execute member method
* this change hides the stylesheet path extraction from the actual function implementation
|
|
* 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
|
|
* it was moved into functions local to the respective compilation unit to improve readability
** splits DOM tree construction logic from the actual purpose of the external function
|
|
* all functions return a single "error" node in the case that something went wrong
* otherwise they return one or more "result" nodes that contain the function results and may be distinguished by one or more attributes
* this makes handling the return values easier and more pleasing to the eye as not everything has to be prefixed by "self::*"
* updated test transformation accordingly
|
|
* throwing std::out_of_range exception from DomDocumentCache::get instead of returning nullptr in case of a problem
* moved xalanToString method back into FilesystemContext compilation unit as is only needed there
|
|
* XML tree is contained below the _content_ node if read was successful
** status is set to error otherwise
* updated test transformation accordingly
|
|
* updated test transformation accordingly
|
|
* A call to _read-file_ now returns a _content_ and _status_ node
** this enables XSL transformations to easily react to io related errors
* fixed bug in path resolution
** boost::filesystem _canonical_ method is throwing and exception when the given path does not exist, this pulled down the whole stack
** replaced call to _canonical_ with call to _absolute_ which does not have this requirement
|
|
* A global DomDocumentCache instance would require key prefixing
* switched internal data structure to std::unordered_map for average constant time access
|
|
* 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
|
|
* execute member method internal argument count checks are not needed when using between one and two arguments
** xalan automatically generates the appropriate message containing the getError message when only offered fixed argument execute member overloads
* improved FunctionReadDirectory attribute element generation
* added additional validations to FunctionReadFile and FunctionReadXMLFile
* I plan to return errors inside a DOM tree alongside the function return values in the future
|
|
* 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
|
|
* they are marked appropriately by a _type_ attribute
|
|
* 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
|
|
* replacement for manual XML construction
* currently leaks memory as the objects have to exist out of scope and I have not yet thought of how to best manage their lifetime
|
|
* output is generated from XML hand-generated in a std::stringstream
** while this works reasonably well it is not how it should by done, i.e. this will have to be reimplemented using xerces / xalan constructs
** => this is intended to try out how a read-directory could work in a XSLT context
