public class XsltTransformer
extends AbstractXmlTransformer
implements MuleContextAware

XsltTransformer performs an XSLT transform on a DOM (or other XML-ish) object.

This transformer maintains a pool of Transformer objects to speed up processing of concurrent requests. The pool can be configured using setMaxIdleTransformers(int).

Parameter can also be set as part of the transformation context and these can be mapped to conent in the current message using property extractors or can be fixed values.

For example, the current event's message has a property named "myproperty", also you want to generate a uuid as a parameter. To do this you can define context properties that can provide an expression to be evaluated on the current message.

Example Configuration:

  <mxml:xslt-transformer name="MyXsltTransformer" xslFile="myXslFile.xsl"&gt
      <context-property name="myParameter" value="#[head:myproperty]"/&gt
      <context-property name="myParameter2" value="#[function:uuid]"/&gt
  </mxml:xslt-transformer&gt
 

The 'header' expression pulls a header from the current message and 'function' can execute a set of arbitrary functions. You can also pass in static values by ommitting the expression prefix '#['.

In addition to being able to pass in an XSLT file you can also define templates inline. For example -

  <mxml:xslt-transformer name="MyXsltTransformer"&gt
      <mxml:xslt-text&gt
          
 

                
 

               
                   
                       
                   
               
           
  </mxml:xslt-text&gt

Any attribute of the current MuleEvent can be accessed using Property Extractors such as JXpath, bean path or header retrieval.

Parameters:

name - the name of the parameter. The name isn't used for this implementation but is exposed as a param for classes that may need it.

value - the value of the paramter

Returns:

the object to be set as the parameter value

Throws:

TransformerException
