Saxon XSLT Java example

I was looking for simple Saxon XSLT transformation example using Java and I could not find one that is simple and descriptive enough, so I made one and I hope it will helpful for someone. So here it is :

import java.io.File;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;

public class Main {

    /**
     * Simple transformation method.
     * @param sourcePath - Absolute path to source xml file.
     * @param xsltPath - Absolute path to xslt file.
     * @param resultDir - Directory where you want to put resulting files.
     */
    public static void simpleTransform(String sourcePath, String xsltPath,
                                       String resultDir) {
        TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        try {
            Transformer transformer =
                tFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(new File(xsltPath)));

            transformer.transform(new StreamSource(new File(sourcePath)),
                                  new StreamResult(new File(resultDir)));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Set saxon as transformer.
        System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory",
                           "net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl");

        simpleTransform("d:/project/hob/AppModule.xml",
                        "d:/project/hob/create-fragment.xslt", "C:/");

    }
}

You just need to put Saxon library into project CLASSPATH. This example create resulting file(s) on the root of C: drive.

Have fun!
