[kepler-users] XSLT Actor xml input

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Chris,

I'm assuming that the XSLTActor to which you refer is 
kepler/util/src/org/sdm/spa/XSLTActor.java

Ptolemy has some XSLT actors, see
ptII/ptolemy/actor/lib/xslt/XSLTransformer.java
That directory also has XMLInclusion.java and some demos.

The Ptolemy II devel tree has ptolemy.actor.lib.convert.StringToXML

If you have an XMLToken input, then to convert it to a String, create an 
Expression actor with an input port and an expression:
   input.toString()

There could be a XMLToString actor, but the above should work.

The spa XSLTActor should probably be rewritten to use XMLToken.
For backward compatibility, we would probably need two versions,
one that used String and one that used XMLToken.
