| </p> |
| <h4>For Windows</h4> |
| <p>To use the Windows binary distribution, you must place the Xalan executables and the Xalan and Xerces libraries on the path:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Put Xalan-C_1_11_0-<my_Windows_distribution>\bin and xerces-c-3.1.1-<my_Windows_distribution>\bin on the path.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>The Visual C++ Xalan project included with the Windows release knows the relative paths to the Xalan headers and libraries, |
| but it does not know where you have unzipped the Xerces distribution. If you plan to use Visual C++ to build Xalan applications |
| or <a href="readme.html#jar">rebuild Xalan</a>, you must also provide Visual C++ with access to the Xerces headers |
| and libraries.</p> |
| <p>Use the Visual C++ Tools menu to open the Options dialog box, go to the Directories tab, and do the following:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Add the path to xerces-c-3.1.1-<my_Windows_distribution>\include to the list of directories of Include files.</li> |
| <li>Add the path to xerces-c-3.1.1-<my_Windows_distribution>\lib to the list of directories of Library files.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| |
| <a name="unixpath"></a> |
| <p align="right" size="2"> |
| <a href="#content">(top)</a> |
| </p> |
| <h4>For UNIX</h4> |
| <p>To use one of the UNIX binary distributions, you must place the Xalan-C++ executable on the path, and the Xalan-C++ and Xerces-C++ |
| libraries on the library path.</p> |
| <p>For the Xalan-C++ AIX distributions:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Put Xalan-C_1_11_0-<my_AIX_distribution>/bin on the path (PATH).</li> |
| <li>Put Xalan-C_1_11_0-<my_AIX_distribution>/lib and xerces-c-3.1.1-<my_AIX_distribution>/lib |
| on the library path (LIBPATH), or copy the shared libraries to /usr/lib.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>For the Xalan-C++ HP-UX 11 distributions:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Put Xalan-C_1_11_0-<my_HPUX_distribution>/bin on the path (PATH).<br /> |
| <br /> |
| </li> |
| <li>Put Xalan-C_1_11_0-<my_HPUX_distribution>/lib and xerces-c-3.1.1-<my_HPUX_distribution>/lib on the library path |
| SHLIB_PATH), or copy the shared libraries to /usr/lib.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>For the Xalan-C++ Solaris distributions:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Put Xalan-C_1_11_0-<my_Solaris_distribution>/bin on the path (PATH).<br /> |
| <br /> |
| </li> |
| <li>Put Xalan-C_1_11_0-<my_Solaris_distribution>/lib and xerces-c-3.1.1-<my_Solaris_distribution>/lib on the library path |
| (LD_LIBRARY_PATH), or copy the shared libraries to /usr/lib.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>For the Xalan-C++ RedHat and SuSE Linux distributions:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Put Xalan-C_1_11_0-<my_Linux_distribution>/bin on the path (PATH).</li> |
| <li>Put Xalan-C_1_11_0-<my_Linux_distribution>/lib and xerces-c-3.1.1-<my_Linux_distribution>/lib on the library path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH), |
| or copy the shared libraries to /usr/lib.</li> |

| |
| <a name="samples"></a> |
| <p align="right" size="2"> |
| <a href="#content">(top)</a> |
| </p> |
| <h3>Trying out the samples</h3> |
| <p>The Xalan-C++ distribution includes a number of basic sample applications. We have precompiled these samples for you so they are ready to run, and you can review the source files to see just how they work. </p> |
| <p>To run the samples, do the following:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Set up your path (see above). In the Windows32 distribution, the sample executables are in |
| Xalan-C_1_11_0-<my_Windows_distribution>\bin. In the UNIX distributions, the executables are in Xalan-C_1_11_0-<my_UNIX_distribution>/bin.</li> |
| <li>Go to the samples subdirectory containing the sample.</li> |
| <li>Run the sample from the command line (in Windows, use the DOS shell).</li> |
| <li>Examine the application source files.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>For example, go to the SimpleTransform subdirectory and issue the following command:</p> |
| <p> |
| <code>SimpleTransform</code> |
| </p> |
| <p>SimpleTransform uses the foo.xsl stylesheet to transform foo.xml, and writes the transformation result to foo.out. To see how the example works, examine the source files: foo.xml, foo.xsl, foo.out, and SimpleTransform.cpp.</p> |
| <p>For more information about the samples, see <a href="samples.html">Xalan-C++ Samples</a>.</p> |
| <a name="commandline"></a> |
| <p align="right" size="2"> |
| <a href="#content">(top)</a> |
| </p> |
| <h3>Performing your own transformations from the command line</h3> |
| <p>The Xalan executable lets you perform transformations from the command line. The command line for |
| most standard transformations is as follows:</p> |
| <p> |
| <code>Xalan -o <b> |
| <i>outputfile</i> |
| </b> <b> |
| <i>xmlSource</i> |
| </b> <b> |
| <i>stylesheet</i> |
| </b> |
| </code> |
| </p> |
| <p>where <b> |
| <i>xmlSource</i> |
| </b> is the XML source file name, <b> |
| <i>stylesheet</i> |
| </b> is the XSL stylesheet file name, and <b> |
| <i>outputfile</i> |
| </b> is the output file name.</p> |
| <p>If you want the output to be displayed on the screen, simply omit the -o flag and <b> |
| <i>outputfile</i> |
| </b>.</p> |
| <p>You can use this utility to try out XSL stylesheets you have written, to make sure they do what you expect with the XML source files they are designed to transform. The utility provides useful messages if the source file or stylesheet is not well formed. If you include a DOCTYPE statement or Schema hint in your XML source files and include the -v flag on the command line, the utility will also let you know whether the XML document is valid (conforms to that DOCTYPE or Schema). For more information, see <a href="commandline.html">Command-Line Utility</a>.</p> |
| <a name="apps"></a> |
| <p align="right" size="2"> |
| <a href="#content">(top)</a> |
| </p> |
| <h3>Setting up your own XSLT applications</h3> |
| <p>You can start by using your own XML source files and XSL stylesheets with the sample applications, which illustrate a number of usage patterns. For more information on setting up applications, see <a href="usagepatterns.html">Basic Usage Patterns</a>.</p> |
