-This directory contains the xsl stylesheets used to generate the code from the
-OpenAMQ protocol specification. They require an XSLT2.0 processor, currently
-Saxon 8 is used.
-
-The generation process is controlled by the framing.xsl stylesheet. This performs
-several phases of transformation, using the other stylesheets. The transformation
-in each phase is defined in a separate file, and these are designed to also allow
-then to be run individually.
-
-The generation takes the amq.asl as input, it also requires that the path to the
-directory where the base asl definitions reside (those definitions that the main
-amq.asl defintion inherits from) be passed in via a paramter called asl_base.
-
-The files involved are as follows:
-
- framing.xsl The control file for the entire generation process
-
- prepare1.xsl Resolves the separate files that make up the protocol
- definition, building a single tree containing all the
- information as a set of 'frame' elements, each of which
- has attributes for its name, and ids for the class and
- method it refers to and contains zero or more field
- elements.
-
- A method id is generated based on the order of the
- method elements within the class elements in the original
- specification. The class id is taken from the enclosing
- class element.
-
- prepare2.xsl Resolves domains into their corresponding types. (This is
- much easier when all the information is in a single tree,
- hence the separate frame).
-
- prepare3.xsl Converts names into valid java names and augments the
- tree to include information that makes the subsequent
- generation phase simpler e.g. the index of boolean
- fields as several boolean flags are combined into a
- single byte. (This is easier once the domains have been
- resolved, hence the separate phase).
-
- java.xsl Generates java classes for each frame, and a registry of
- all the frames to a 'magic' number generated from their
- class and method id.
-
- utils.xsl Contains some utility methods for e.g. producing valid
- java names.
-
-For debugging the framing.xsl can output the intermediary files. This can be
-enabled by uncommenting the relevant lines (a comment explaining this is
-provided inline).
