Enhancement to enable .ktr or .kjb files to be opened with kettle-report.xsl in browser #54

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
.ktr and .kjb files are normal xml files and have the first line as
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

If the .ktr and .kjb files have the following 2 lines (2nd line links to xsl) 
then it can directly be opened in web browser.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="kettle-report.xsl"?>

In kettle code, there is a section that generates error when this second line 
is entered in .ktr or .kjb.
If the code can be tweaked to 'ignore' line #2 if it exists, then that will be 
great.

If anything, this would be an issue in kettle, not in kettle-cookbook. (On 
another topic, I personally feel that associating xsl-stylesheets with xml 
documents in this way, is a mistake, even though it is mandated by a w3c 
standard).

If you really want to do this, you could fairly easily create a browser plugin 
that applies xsl based on file extension. I'm fairly sure this would be easy to 
do in both mozilla and chrome.
