I have been using fop 0.95 to generate pdf files from xml data. I have three files involved in the process: test.xml, test.xsl and attributes.xsl. Naturally I have xml data in xml file. Here test.xml is the main xsl file which imports attribute sets from attributes.xsl file. For example, I have following entries in the attributes.xsl file:
<xsl:attribute-set name="headerTable" foa:class="table">
<xsl:attribute name="table-layout">fixed</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="width">6.05in</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="text-align">left</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="white-space-collapse">false</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
Now my requirement is to place the attribute name in attribute file and store the associated values in the xml file. This way:
<MyRoot>
<tableHeader>
<tableLayout>fixed</tableLayout>
<width>6.05in</width>
<textAlign>left</textAlign>
<whiteSpaceCollapse>false</whiteSpaceCollapse>
</tableHeader>
</MyRoot>
After this I will have the attribute file as follows:
<xsl:attribute-set name="headerTable" foa:class="table">
<xsl:attribute name="table-layout">MyRoot/tableHeader/tableLayout</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="width">MyRoot/tableHeader/width</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="text-align">MyRoot/tableHeader/textAlign</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="white-space-collapse">MyRoot/tableHeader/whiteSpaceCollapse</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
As usual I use the attribute from the main xsl file as follows:
<fo:table xsl:use-attribute-sets="headerTable">
<fo:table-column column-width="3in"></fo:table-column>
<fo:table-column column-width="3.5in"></fo:table-column>
<fo:table-body>
<!--table rows and cells goes here-->
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
While executing, I get the following error:
"Ignoring property: table-layout="MyRoot/tableHeader/tableLayout" <Illegal character; property:'table-layout'>"
Has anyone any idea on how to accomplish this? Thanks.
