Can't get <?TEMPLATE-SPLIT-PI?> to work with Freemarker

[Gil Perry]

Hi,

I am using version 2.0.0-M3 of Smooks and am attempting to transform Json to XML using  Freemarker with the <?TEMPLATE-SPLIT-PI?> processing instruction. However, I receive the error message:

org.smooks.api.SmooksException: Failed to filter source

I have attached a simple project with the test testJsonToXml. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

The example input message is

{

  "orderId": 34567,

  "customerId": "A56787",

  "orderTotal": 13.56,

  "lineItems": [

    {

      "sku": "56789",

      "price": 1.57

    },

    {

      "sku": "4433",

      "price": 11.57

    }

  ]

}

The output should roughly be as follows:

<customer_order id="34567">

<customer_id>A56787</customer_id>

<total>13.56</total>

<line_item sku="56789">

<price>1.57</price>

</line_item>

<line_item sku="4433">

<price>11.57</price>

</line_item>

</customer_order>

Hi Gil! You've uncovered a regression in the <?TEMPLATE-SPLIT-PI?> instruction. Must have happened in the latest milestone release. It would be great if an issue about this is opened in the Templating cartridge repo. I'm unsure whether the TEMPLATE-SPLIT-PI instruction has become redundant with the introduction of pipelines however, in your particular case, you can rewrite the config to:

    <core:smooks filterSourceOn="customer_order" maxNodeDepth="0" >
        <core:action>
            <core:inline>
                <core:replace/>
            </core:inline>
        </core:action>
        <core:config>
            <smooks-resource-list>
                <ftl:freemarker applyOnElement="customer_order">
                    <ftl:template><!-- <customer_order id="${customer_order.orderId}">
<customer_id>${customer_order.customerId}</customer_id>
<total>${customer_order.orderTotal}</total>
<#list customer_order.lineItems.lineItem as lineItem>
      <line_item sku="${lineItem.sku}">
        <price>${lineItem.price}</price>
    </line_item>
</#list>
</customer_order>
-->
                    </ftl:template>
                </ftl:freemarker>
            </smooks-resource-list>
        </core:config>
    </core:smooks>

I noticed that your project's POM is declaring each Smooks dependency's version. It's easier to manage Smooks dependencies by importing Smook's BOM and omitting the dependency versions. At the moment, the cartridge versions match the core's version but there's no guarantee that it will be always like this.
