[Bodington-developers] Addition to HEAD: Custom transformations of IMS CP manifests using XSLT

[Peter C. <Pet...@me...>]

Just added: the ability to transform IMS content package manifests on
import.  This uses Xalan-J 2.6.0, which has been added to the lib
directory as xalan.jar.  Note that this is the Apache jar, *not* the Sun
JWSDP one which has many of the classes in odd packages.  Testing has
been on 1.4.2_08 SDK, Tomcat 5.0.28 only.

Details on file format are in
tomcatadd/webapps/bodington/WEB-INF/xslt/readme.txt.

The new version *should* be backwardly-compatible with older
installations that don't have Xalan, can't load Xalan due to some
incompatibility with their preferred XML parser, don't have a transforms
directory, or have malformed transformations; in all these cases,
Bodington logs an error and falls back to loading the provided manifest
without transformation.
