XInclude and XML rendering

[MarinBernard]

Hi,

I'm new to FMPP and I'm trying to have it render a single XML document to a very basic one-liner text file. Templating does work as expected, except regarding the XInclude feature: I can't make FMPP apply the transclusion. In the called template, browsing the DOM with pp.doc returns an xi:include element instead of the target one.

XInclude does work when used with static XML data sources (defined in the main config file), but not with dynamic XML rendering. I use the latest version. What did I forget ?

Config file

recommendedDefaults: 0.9.16
sourceRoot: /home/marin/fmpp/in
outputRoot: /home/marin/fmpp/out
dataRoot:   /home/marin/fmpp/data

modes : [
    ignore(/templates/)
]

data: {
    # Works fine: <xi:include> elements are processed.
    works: xml(music/works/bach/bwv622.xml, {'xincludeAware': true})
}

xmlRenderings: [
    {
        # Does NOT work: <xi:include> elements are returned as-is.
        ifDocumentElementIs: release
        template: templates/release.tags
        xincludeAware: true
        xmlns: {D: http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml, xi: http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude}
    }
]

Source XML file

<release xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
         xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">
    <title>My release</title>
    <performances>
        <performance>
            <work>
                <xi:include href="/home/marin/fmpp/data/music/works/bach/bwv622.xml" parse="xml"/>
            </work>
        </performance>
    </performances>
</release>

Template

<#ftl ns_prefixes={"D":"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"}>
<@pp.renameOutputFile extension="txt" />
<#assign release = pp.doc.release>
<#list release.performances.performance.work.* as c>
- ${c?node_name}
</#list>

Output

- include

Instead of the the root element from "/home/marin/fmpp/data/music/works/bach/bwv622.xml".

Indeed, xincludeAware had no effect inside xmlRenderings. I have fixed this in commit https://github.com/freemarker/fmpp/commit/adfe51f7916dbebb5b2bc15ee478d2f407580743.

Hi,

Many thanks for adding this feature. For your information I noticed that xincludeAware was also ineffective when passed as a parameter of pp.loadData. XML data are loaded but XInclude elements are left unprocessed.

Many thanks. I'll try to build 9.1.17 and see what happens.

Are you sure about pp.loadData? Looking at the source code, I don't think it ignores the { 'xincludeAware': true } argument you pass to it.
