I have some files that contain such structures:
--- before.xml ---
| ...
| <xlink:locator xlink:href="foobar.xml" xlink:type="locator"
xlink:label="foobar"/>
| ...
--- end of before.xml ---
I wish I could XInclude the foobar.xml at that precise location.
So I use a sed script that search/replace each xlink and replace it
with its xinclude counterpart.
Here is the kind of result:
--- after.xml ---
| ...
| <xinclude:include href="foobar.xml"/>
| ...
--- end of after.xml ---
And then, I use such a code to magically manages the XInclude of files:
--- myCode.java ---
| SAXParserFactory factory = (SAXParserFactory)
|
SAXParserFactory.newInstance("com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl",
this.getClass().getClassLoader());
| factory.setXIncludeAware(true);
| factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
| SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();
| XMLReader xmlReader = parser.getXMLReader();
| sr = new org.dom4j.io.SAXReader(xmlReader);
| ...
--- end of myCode.java ---
It works perfectly fine.
But now I want to get rid of the sed script, and add some kind of
magic to manage the Xlink->XInclude in Java.
Obviously, this preprocessing must occur before the XInclude
processing of Xerces.
So I cannot use the usual XMLFilter technique (as I understand it, any
XMLFilter would occur *after* the XInclude resolving).
What is the most elegant manner to achieve my preprocessing and then
benefit from the built-in XInclude engine?
My idea was a kind of SAX pipelining, but I cannot see how to do that.
Any help is welcome.
