Xsl:import href

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have a lotusscript agent which uses the NotesXSLTransformer class to transform XML with an XSL stylesheet. The stylesheet is a page in the database.

The stylesheet uses xsl:import to reference a second stylsheet which is also a page in the database.

An error occurs because xsl:import in the stylesheet looks for a path relative to the C:\Lotus\Domino directory. Is there a way to use xsl:import and reference a stylesheet in a Notes database?

(I am currently limited to doing the XML transformation on the server because of time constraints and limited knowledge of cross-browser workarounds.)

Please ignore. I worked around it by merging the two stylesheets in the lotusscript agent.

Snippets of code (I found the getPageText function elsewhere on here):

Dim SecondStylsheet as String

SecondStylesheet = getPageText(db, “GP Web Page Stylesheet.xsl”)

SecondStylesheet = SecondStylesheet & Chr(10) & getPageText(db, SecondXSLName)

Function getPageText(db As NotesDatabase, pageName As String) As String

'Gets a notes page design element and returns the text of the page. Designed for apps where XSLT info is stored in a page.

On Error Goto errhand

Dim nCol As NotesNoteCollection

Dim doc As NotesDocument

Dim title As NotesItem, body As NotesItem

Dim noteID As String

'Build a NotesNoteCollection of all page design elements in the database

Set nCol=db.CreateNoteCollection(False)

nCol.SelectPages=True

Call nCol.BuildCollection

'Find page that corresponds to pagename

noteID=nCol.getFirstNoteID

Do Until noteID=""

	Set doc=db.GetDocumentByID(noteID)

	Set title=doc.GetFirstItem("$TITLE")

	Set body=doc.GetFirstItem("$Body")

	

	If title.Text=pageName Then

		getPageText=body.Text

		Exit Function

	End If 

	noteID=nCol.GetNextNoteId(noteID)

Loop 



getPageText=""

Exit Function

errhand:

Print "<b>error at line " & Erl & ": " & Error & "</b>"

Exit Function

End Function

I’m using it in my Domino Web Tools project on OpenNTF and haven’t had a problem with it.

Here’s a good article about it:
