Using <XSL:Result-Document> to post to a URL over HTTP

ITEpicurean · December 15th, 2009, 05:47 PM

I was hoping I could use Saxon to post output documents directly to a content engine running on Jetty.

I am trying to skip the 'generate content to disk' step and directly upload from XSLT using <XSL:Result-Document> having noticed that Michael Kay said folks had been successfully used it with ftp and mailTo.

For reference, the following is the simple command I would give using a utility like Curl to achieve an HTTP based upload:

C:\curl http://localhost:8983/solr/update/ -F stream.file=C:\FormattedContentFromXSLT\MyUploadCo ntent.xml

My sample XSLT reads as follows:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" exclude-result-prefixes="xs" version="2.0">

    <xsl:output name="outputDefinition" method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8"/>

    <xsl:template match="/" name="main">

        <xsl:variable name="Url" select="'http://localhost:8983/solr/update'"/>

        <xsl:for-each select="/document/content/section">
            <xsl:result-document href="{$Url}" format="outputDefinition">
                <add>
                    <doc>
                        <field name="id"
                            >[Document]2008-1stCentennialBancorp-CIK0001097081.html</field>
                        <field name="contextNumberPages">92</field>
                        <field name="contextTOCCount">20</field>
                        <field name="contextNumberSections">20</field>
                        <field name="contextNumberSubSections">1259</field>
                        <field name="contextHasPageBreaks">true</field>
                    </doc>
                </add>
            </xsl:result-document>
        </xsl:for-each>

    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I am running this from Oxygen 11.0 and get the following error:

Engine name: Saxon-HE 9.2.0.2
Severity: fatal
Description: Failed while closing output file - 400 Bad Request for: http://localhost:8983/solr/update
Start location: 27:0

HTTP ERROR: 400 âmissing content streamâ

Most grateful for any suggestions,

This question is very product-specific and would be best asked on the saxon-help mailing list at SourceForge.net - there are several people active on that list who might be able to provide more useful input than I can.
