Java code needed to read/render the XSL

Would using a Server Template work for you? It means you would first upload your XFD or XSL template to the server, then let Ultrascale handle the transform server-side.

Also, could you send a sample template to support? Perhaps we can troubleshoot the original issue and see why the template cannot be processed successfully with Java's internal XSL engine.

We have multiple XSLT engines. Are you sure you're using the same in both cases?

In XF Designer, go to the Options dialog, in the XSL Transformations section. Here you can view or change the XSLT engine used by the Designer.

Now in your code, you can choose to let Ultrascale perform the transformation using that engine. Use the XsltEngine rendering parameter to set it.

Use InputFormat.XML instead of XSLFO to pass the XML stream directly to Ultrascale. The idea here is to let Ultrascale manage the transformation as well.

Create a LocalDocumentTemplate from your XSL and set it as the Template parameter. The transformation will be performed client side.

Finally, pass the XML stream as the input for the Engine.Render() method.

Let me know if you encounter any issues.

If you get a stylesheet compilation error, most likely the error is in the XSL file, not in the JAVA code.Try to validate the XSL in XF Designer.

Hello

I have modified the sample Java snippet provided by Ecrion to my needs. However i get error when i start the transformation using TransformerFactory and i get the error msg as the stylesheet could not be compiled

            String xmlString;
            String xslString;

            File xmlFile = new File("C:/Srivatsa/Reports/Ecrion/DemoReport/Demo.xml");
            File xsltFile = new File("C:/Srivatsa/Reports/Ecrion/DemoReport/Demo.xsl");
           
            xmlString = FileUtils.readFileToString(xmlFile);
            xslString = FileUtils.readFileToString(xsltFile,"utf-8");
           
            InputStream xml = new StringBufferInputStream(xmlString);
            InputStream xslt = new StringBufferInputStream(xslString);
            OutputStream outputStream = new             FileOutputStream("C:\\XSLTransformation.pdf");

            // JAXP reads data using the Source interface
            Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(xml);
            Source xsltSource = new StreamSource(xslt);

            // the factory pattern supports different XSLT processors
            TransformerFactory transFact = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            Transformer trans = transFact.newTransformer(xsltSource);

            ByteArrayOutputStream xmlResult = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            trans.transform(xmlSource, new StreamResult(xmlResult));

            InputStream inputStream = new StringBufferInputStream(xmlResult.toString());
           
            Engine eng = new Engine();
            RenderingParameters rp = new RenderingParameters();

            rp.InputFormat = Engine.InputFormat.XSLFO;
            rp.OutputFormat = Engine.OutputFormat.PDF;
       
            eng.Render(inputStream, outputStream, rp);
           
            // remember to close the streams
            inputStream.close();
            outputStream.close();

            System.out.println("Document rendered successfully!");

Any idea where am i going wrong
