public ProductPool process(FeedProduct feedProduct) throws Exception { File stylesheet = new File("src/main/resources/XMLToCSVStyle.xsl"); File xmlSource = new File(feedFileName); File csvTarget = new File(feedFileName.replace(".xml", ".csv")); TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); // TransformerFactoryImpl tFactoryImpl = (TransformerFactoryImpl) tFactory; // net.sf.saxon.Configuration saxonConfig = tFactoryImpl.getConfiguration(); try { Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(stylesheet)); StreamSource inputTarget = new StreamSource(xmlSource); StreamResult outputTarget = new StreamResult(csvTarget); transformer.transform(inputTarget, outputTarget); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return null; } \]\]>
