public class XmlFile
extends java.lang.Object

Handle common aspects of XML files.

JMRI needs to be able to operate offline, so it needs to store resources locally. At the same time, we want XML files to be transportable, and to have their schema and stylesheets accessible via the web (for browser rendering). Further, our code assumes that default values for attributes will be provided, and it's necessary to read the schema for that to work.

We implement this using our own EntityResolver, the JmriLocalEntityResolver class.

When reading a file, validation is controlled heirarchically:

• There's a global default
• Which can be overridden on a particular XmlFile object
• Finally, the static call to create a builder can be invoked with a validation specification.

Field Detail

xsltLocation

public static final java.lang.String xsltLocation

Define root part of URL for XSLT style page processing instructions.

See the XSLT versioning discussion.

Things that have been tried here:

/xml/XSLT/

(Note leading slash) Works if there's a copy of the xml directory at the root of whatever served the XML file, e.g. the JMRI web site or a local computer running a server. Doesn't work for e.g. yahoo groups files.

http://jmri.org/xml/XSLT/

Works well for files on the JMRI.org web server, but only that.
