Question

I am trying to pass the XSL file which is located in the classpath to Mule XSL-T transformer in my flow. Bit it is giving me error.

<mule-xml:xslt-transformer
maxIdleTransformers="2" maxActiveTransformers="5"
xsl-file="classpath:xslt/Person_Extractor.xsl">
</mule-xml:xslt-transformer>

Given below is the error shown in Eclipse console when I tried to run this application.

********************************************************************************

* The error is fatal, the system will shutdown                                 *
********************************************************************************

I tried all the different combinations like

classpath:/xslt/Person_Extractor.xsl
classpath:\xslt\Person_Extractor.xsl                                    

But no luck.

When I give the full physical path of the file it works fine.

<mule-xml:xslt-transformer
maxIdleTransformers="2" maxActiveTransformers="5"
xsl-file="c:\EWS\MyMuleProj\src\main\resources\xslt\Person_Extractor.xsl">
</mule-xml:xslt-transformer>

Please guide me.

The docs say xsl-file “can be a path on the local file system or on the classpath”, so have you tried without the classpath:, i.e. xsl-file="xslt/Person_Extractor.xsl"?
