Description svante.schubert 2004-04-01 17:21:11 UTC 
By importing / exporting a XSLT filter via the Office GUI (i.e. Tools -> XML
Filter Settings)
only one stylesheet is being packed / unpacked (most probably even one DTD file).

This should work for multiple stylesheets and the exported JAR should work with
the pkgchk as well.

SUS->LO: As discussed with MIB, we change the milestone and add the issue to
specification (http://ui.openoffice.org/proposals/XMLFilterSpec.sxw)
Comment 2 thorsten.martens 2004-05-03 12:29:04 UTC 
"According to the OpenOffice.org roadmap
(http://development.openoffice.org/releases/) this issue was retargeted to OOo
Later."

TM->SUS: retargeted as requested by MBA.
Comment 3 svante.schubert 2004-05-03 16:05:14 UTC 
I made up my mind about this issue, it is definetly not an enhancement, but a
bug as basic functionality of the XSLT 1.0 is not supported.

This issue is quite severe and anoying for the user, therefore I suggest to
overthink the target.

xmlfilter for you
Comment 5 ibshields 2007-05-24 15:52:25 UTC 
Even if the GUI can't export a package containing multiple stylesheets, there
needs to be a mechanism to (a) create such a package and (b) import it. I tried
adding additional XSL files to a jar but couldn't find any way for the Open
dialog to actually import more than the single top level stylesheet for my
export filter.
Comment 6 svante.schubert 2007-05-24 16:10:29 UTC 
I agree, the solution to this would be to make the imported/exported JAR
packages obsolete and use UNO components (zip) as a filter, zipping a folder to
a package instead importing one XSLT file.

Multiple XSLT files could be zipped to the package without the need to
distinguish remotely linked stylesheets.

Even images and default XML fragments could be part of this zip.

Additional features from the UNO packages would be versioning and possibly updating.

I would like to have this in OOo 3.0, but if nobody helps, I am not sure if this
can be solved in this timeframe as there might come other tasks with a higher
priority.
Comment 7 pagalmes.lists 2007-05-24 16:15:09 UTC 
When you talk about UNO Package, I suppose you mean an oxt file ?
Comment 8 ibshields 2007-05-24 16:25:05 UTC 
I think UNO poackaging beudl eb fine. Better documentation and examples for the
TypeDetection mechanism would also help. How much effort do you think would be
involved?
Comment 9 svante.schubert 2007-05-24 16:25:59 UTC 
You are right, they have been renamed to oxt, but they are still a ZIP file.

Using OXT files for XML based (e.g. XSLT) filter would allow to deploy similar
to all OXT / UNO components.
Comment 10 pagalmes.lists 2007-05-24 16:31:22 UTC 
Yes, using the extension mecanism would be really nice.
Comment 11 svante.schubert 2007-05-24 16:36:34 UTC 
SUS->ibshields: Sorry, have not made a time assumption so far, but in relation
to it's benefit it can not be that high.
