Differences in output after execute the same groovy script inside and outside soapUI.
Hello,
I want to transform XML into HTML using groovy and XSL file. I use javax.xml.transform library for this. But when I try run groovy script inside and outside soapUI it it gives me diffrent responses.
Here are my test files:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<apis>
<api min="" max="2.0">
<resource name="A">
<description>A from beggining to 2.0</description>
</resource>
</api>
<api min="2.0" max="2.0.1">
<resource name="A">
<description>A from 2.0 to 2.0.1</description>
</resource>
</api>
<api min="2.0.1" max="">
<resource name="A">
<description>A from 2.0.1 to now</description>
</resource>
</api>
</apis><xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:param name="api-version" select="2.0"/>
<xsl:template match="/apis">
<html>
<head/>
<body>
<table border="1">
<th colspan="2">
<xsl:text>Doc for API: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$api-version"/>
</th>
<xsl:apply-templates select="api[(@min='' or @min <= $api-version) and (@max='' or @max > $api-version)]/resource">
<xsl:sort select="@name"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="resource">
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="description"/>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource
def workspacePath
def xslPath
def xslFileName
def xmlPath
def xmlFileName
def outputPath
def outputFileName
def xslt
def transformer
def xml
def html
def apiVersions
//define workspace
workspacePath = "C:/test/"
//define xls location
xslPath = "transformations/"
//define xsl file name
xslFileName = "test4.xsl"
//define source xml location
xmlPath = "pendingFeature/"
//define xml file name
xmlFileName = "test4.xml"
//define output path
outputPath = "outputs/"
//define api version
apiVersions = ['1.0','2.0','2.0.1']
// load xslt
xslt = new File(workspacePath + xslPath + xslFileName).getText()
// create transformer
transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(new StreamSource(new StringReader(xslt)))
// load xml
xml = new File(workspacePath + xmlPath + xmlFileName).getText()
apiVersions.each { apiVersion ->
//define output file name
outputFileName = "doc for " + apiVersion + " api version.html"
// set output file
html = new FileOutputStream(workspacePath + outputPath + outputFileName)
// set api version
transformer.setParameter("api-version", apiVersion)
// perform transformation
transformer.transform(new StreamSource(new StringReader(xml)), new StreamResult(html))
//close stream
html.close()
}For API version 1.0 it is ok, but for 2.0 and higher there is a problem while running script outside soapUI with finding matching api node with expresion
(@min='' or @min <= $api-version) and (@max='' or @max > $api-version)
I think it is because in XPath 1.0 the < and > operators always do numeric comparison and 2.0 doesn't. But I declare in XSL files xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" so is should use XPath 2.0 in both places and work. W3schools says:
"XSLT 2.0, XPath 2.0, and XQuery 1.0, share the same functions library. There are over 100 built-in functions. There are functions for string values, numeric values, date and time comparison, node and QName manipulation, sequence manipulation, Boolean values, and more."
Why in soapUI it works?
Its because of diffrent XML processor used. SoapUI uses Saxon which supports XPath 2.0 and running script outside groovy use Xalan which doesn't support XPath 2.0.
