public class XsltView extends AbstractUrlBasedView
XSLT-driven View that allows for response context to be rendered as the result of an XSLT transformation.

The XSLT Source object is supplied as a parameter in the model and then detected during response rendering. Users can either specify a specific entry in the model via the sourceKey property or have Spring locate the Source object. This class also provides basic conversion of objects into Source implementations. See here for more details.

All model parameters are passed to the XSLT Transformer as parameters. In addition the user can configure output properties to be passed to the Transformer.

      public XsltView()

  • Method Details

    • setTransformerFactoryClass

      public void setTransformerFactoryClass(Class<? extends TransformerFactory> transformerFactoryClass)
      Specify the XSLT TransformerFactory class to use.

      The default constructor of the specified class will be called to build the TransformerFactory for this view.

    • setSourceKey

      public void setSourceKey(String sourceKey)
      Set the name of the model attribute that represents the XSLT Source. If not specified, the model map will be searched for a matching value type.

      The following source types are supported out of the box: Source, Document, Node, Reader, InputStream and Resource.

      See Also:

    • setUriResolver

      public void setUriResolver(URIResolver uriResolver)
      Set the URIResolver used in the transform.

      The URIResolver handles calls to the XSLT document() function.

    • setErrorListener

      public void setErrorListener(@Nullable ErrorListener errorListener)
      Set an implementation of the ErrorListener interface for custom handling of transformation errors and warnings.

      If not set, a default SimpleTransformErrorListener is used that simply logs warnings using the logger instance of the view class, and rethrows errors to discontinue the XML transformation.

      See Also:

    • setIndent

      public void setIndent(boolean indent)
      Set whether the XSLT transformer may add additional whitespace when outputting the result tree.

      Default is true (on); set this to false (off) to not specify an "indent" key, leaving the choice up to the stylesheet.

      See Also:

    • setOutputProperties

      public void setOutputProperties(Properties outputProperties)
      Set arbitrary transformer output properties to be applied to the stylesheet.

      Any values specified here will override defaults that this view sets programmatically.

      See Also:

    • setCacheTemplates

      public void setCacheTemplates(boolean cacheTemplates)
      Turn on/off the caching of the XSLT Templates instance.

      The default value is "true". Only set this to "false" in development, where caching does not seriously impact performance.

    • initApplicationContext

      protected void initApplicationContext() throws BeansException
      Initialize this XsltView's TransformerFactory.
      Overrides:
      initApplicationContext in class ApplicationObjectSupport
      Throws:
      BeansException - if thrown by ApplicationContext methods
      See Also:

    • newTransformerFactory

      protected TransformerFactory newTransformerFactory(@Nullable Class<? extends TransformerFactory> transformerFactoryClass)
      Instantiate a new TransformerFactory for this view.

      The default implementation simply calls TransformerFactory.newInstance(). If a "transformerFactoryClass" has been specified explicitly, the default constructor of the specified class will be called instead.

      Can be overridden in subclasses.

      Parameters:
      transformerFactoryClass - the specified factory class (if any)
      Returns:
      the new TransactionFactory instance
      See Also:

    • getTransformerFactory

      protected final TransformerFactory getTransformerFactory()
      Return the TransformerFactory that this XsltView uses.
      Returns:
      the TransformerFactory (never null)

    • renderMergedOutputModel

      protected void renderMergedOutputModel(Map<String,Object> model, jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request, jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception
      Description copied from class: AbstractView
      Subclasses must implement this method to actually render the view.

      The first step will be preparing the request: In the JSP case, this would mean setting model objects as request attributes. The second step will be the actual rendering of the view, for example including the JSP via a RequestDispatcher.

      Specified by:
      renderMergedOutputModel in class AbstractView
      Parameters:
      model - combined output Map (never null), with dynamic values taking precedence over static attributes
      request - current HTTP request
      response - current HTTP response
      Throws:
      Exception - if rendering failed

    • createResult

      protected Result createResult(jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception
      Create the XSLT Result used to render the result of the transformation.

      The default implementation creates a StreamResult wrapping the supplied HttpServletResponse's OutputStream.

      Parameters:
      response - current HTTP response
      Returns:
      the XSLT Result to use
      Throws:
      Exception - if the Result cannot be built

    • locateSource

      protected @Nullable Source locateSource(Map<String,Object> model) throws Exception

      Locate the Source object in the supplied model, converting objects as required. The default implementation first attempts to look under the configured source key, if any, before attempting to locate an object of supported type.

      Parameters:
      model - the merged model Map
      Returns:
      the XSLT Source object (or null if none found)
      Throws:
      Exception - if an error occurred during locating the source
      See Also:

    • getSourceTypes

      protected Class<?>[] getSourceTypes()
      Return the array of Classes that are supported when converting to an XSLT Source.

      Currently supports Source, Document, Node, Reader, InputStream and Resource.

      Returns:
      the supported source types

    • convertSource

      protected Source convertSource(@Nullable Object sourceObject) throws Exception
      Convert the supplied Object into an XSLT Source if the Object type is supported.
      Parameters:
      sourceObject - the original source object
      Returns:
      the adapted XSLT Source
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the given Object is not of a supported type
      Exception

    • configureTransformer

      protected void configureTransformer(Map<String,Object> model, jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response, Transformer transformer)
      Configure the supplied Transformer instance.

      The default implementation copies parameters from the model into the Transformer's parameter set. This implementation also copies the output properties into the Transformer output properties. Indentation properties are set as well.

      Parameters:
      model - merged output Map (never null)
      response - current HTTP response
      transformer - the target transformer
      See Also:

    • configureIndentation

      protected final void configureIndentation(Transformer transformer)
      Configure the indentation settings for the supplied Transformer.
      Parameters:
      transformer - the target transformer
      See Also:

    • copyOutputProperties

      protected final void copyOutputProperties(Transformer transformer)
      Copy the configured output Properties, if any, into the output property set of the supplied Transformer.
      Parameters:
      transformer - the target transformer

    • copyModelParameters

      protected final void copyModelParameters(Map<String,Object> model, Transformer transformer)
      Copy all entries from the supplied Map into the parameter set of the supplied Transformer.

      protected void configureResponse(Map<String,Object> model, jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response, Transformer transformer)
      Configure the supplied HttpServletResponse.

      The default implementation of this method sets the content type and encoding from the "media-type" and "encoding" output properties specified in the Transformer.

      Parameters:
      model - merged output Map (never null)
      response - current HTTP response
      transformer - the target transformer

    • createTransformer

      protected Transformer createTransformer(Templates templates) throws TransformerConfigurationException
      Create the Transformer instance used to prefer the XSLT transformation.

      The default implementation simply calls Templates.newTransformer(), and configures the Transformer with the custom URIResolver if specified.

      Parameters:
      templates - the XSLT Templates instance to create a Transformer for
      Returns:
      the Transformer object
      Throws:
      TransformerConfigurationException - in case of creation failure
