You should be able to compile this code with the ant build.xml file available at the Wrox Press web site along with all source code (see Appendix A). Some of this code we've already seen.

import org.apache.xalan.xsltc.*;
import org.apache.xalan.xsltc.dom.DOMImpl;

public class TroubleTicketViewer  {

  public TroubleTicketViewer(String inputfile)

    throws Exception { //load and create the translet
    Class cls = Class.forName("TroubleTicket");
    Translet xlet = (Translet)cls.newInstance();
    DOMImpl dom = new DOMImpl(); //will contain the
      parsed source XML

    //create SAX 2.0 parser & get the XMLReader
 
    uses object it
    SAXParserFactory factory =
      SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
    SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();
    XMLReader reader = parser.getXMLReader();

    //Set the DOM's builder as the XMLReader's SAX 2.0
 
    content handler reader.setContentHandler(dom.getBuilder());
    //parse
    reader.parse(new InputSource(new
      FileReader(inputfile)));
      

As XSLTC begins to benefit from the open source development cycle at Apache, expect new initiatives for transformation in the information appliance arena. Translets are ideally placed to foster a viable peer-to-peer environment on small devices, bringing with them the power of universal transformation to the growing support for XML on these appliances. Keep an eye on the xalan-dev@xml.apache.org mailing list!
