XSL transformation on archive fails

[WalterSchalter]

Hi,

I try to apply a xsl-file to a web.xml-file in a war-archive.
Action: Perform XSL Transform - In Archive: test.war
Installed Archive: $INSTALL_TEMP_DIR$$/$test.war
Archive Path: WEB-INF$/$web.xml
Target in installer: $INSTALL_TEMP_DIR$$/$web.xsl
New file: test.xml

The result:

XMLScriptWriter: No Installation Objects were skipped
PerformXSLT: FAILED java.io.IOException: Archive doesn't contain entry: WEB-INF\web.xml
java.io.IOException: Archive doesn't contain entry: WEB-INF\web.xml

I haven't tried the XSL transform, but I have used the modify text in archive. For your Archive Path:. Just use WEB-INF/web.xml

this command is case sensitive so make sure that the case for your archive path matches what is really in your archive. (Don't necessarily trust what Winzip may say).

Dear purcellk24,

yes, I'm aware of this text-modification action on archives and I use it for web.xml too. It works perfect. Unfortunately, I must use the XSL-transformation and finally always receive this error.

Applying the action 'Perform XSL Transform' xsl-file to the extracted web.xml-file, every works fine.

Has so tried this?

Thank you for any help,
Walter

ok. thanks. What I meant to say, is use WEB-INF/web.xml instead of WEB-INF$/$web.xml.

And again, make sure of the case in your archive for WEB-INF or web-inf.

Thank you purcellk24, indeed the backslash was the problem. Cool, it works now.

Last thing; is it possible to write the modified web.xml-file back to the archive (like Modify Text File - In Archive) ?

Thank you,
Walter

I'm not exactly sure. I actually created and call an ant build.xml file that basically just calls the jar/war command with update=true. I think it is a little slow sometimes, but it works for me.
