I have the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"
xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>BundleResourceDeploy</groupId>
<artifactId>Project3</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>sbar</packaging>
<description></description>
</project>
Also I have the following XSLT stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:ns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" exclude-result-prefixes="ns">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="ns:project">
<xsl:element name="ns:groupId">
<xsl:value-of select="ns:groupId"/>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="ns:artifactId">
<xsl:value-of select="ns:artifactId"/>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="ns:version">
<xsl:value-of select="ns:version"/>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="ns:packaging">
<xsl:value-of select="ns:packaging"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Executing the command: xsltproc "stylesheet" "xml_file" > output.xml
The output (content of output.xml file) is:
<ns:groupId xmlns:ns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0">BundleResourceDeploy</ns:groupId><ns:artifactId xmlns:ns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0">Project2</ns:artifactId><ns:version xmlns:ns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0">1.0-SNAPSHOT</ns:version><ns:packaging xmlns:ns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0">sbar</ns:packaging>
What I want to achieve is: In a shell script I want to obtain the value of the element "groupId", which would be "BundleResourceDeploy", and assign it to a variable.
Could you help me out with a way on how to achieve this?
Personally, I'd use XMLStarlet:
#!/bin/bash
# ^^^^-- NOT /bin/sh; process substitution is an extension in ksh and bash
# $'' literal syntax is an extension as well, likewise read -d
IFS=$'\n' read -r -d '' groupId artifactId version packaging < <(
xmlstarlet sel \
-N ns='http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0' \
-t -m /ns:project \
-v ns:groupId -n \
-v ns:artifactId -n \
-v ns:version -n \
-v ns:packaging -n \
<pom.xml && printf '\0'
)
echo "pom.xml is for $groupId/$artifactId, version $version, with packaging $packaging"
However, what the xmlstarlet
command in that script actually does is entirely equivalent to a slightly different XSLT template, which you can ask XMLStarlet to generate for you by passing the -C
argument:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:ns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:exslt="http://exslt.org/common" version="1.0" extension-element-prefixes="exslt">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="no"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="/ns:project">
<xsl:call-template name="value-of-template">
<xsl:with-param name="select" select="ns:groupId"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:value-of select="' '"/>
<xsl:call-template name="value-of-template">
<xsl:with-param name="select" select="ns:artifactId"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:value-of select="' '"/>
<xsl:call-template name="value-of-template">
<xsl:with-param name="select" select="ns:version"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:value-of select="' '"/>
<xsl:call-template name="value-of-template">
<xsl:with-param name="select" select="ns:packaging"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:value-of select="' '"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="value-of-template">
<xsl:param name="select"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$select"/>
<xsl:for-each select="exslt:node-set($select)[position()>1]">
<xsl:value-of select="' '"/>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Note that we're not creating elements in our output here at all, but rather generating a textual stream delimited by newlines. (We'd need to adjust our approach if newlines could appear in our values, but that's not the case in a Maven POM).
If you were using the stylesheet I gave above, the exact script would be:
#!/bin/bash
IFS=$'\n' read -r -d '' groupId artifactId version packaging \
< <(xsltproc stylesheet.xslt pom.xml) && printf '\0')
echo "pom.xml is for $groupId/$artifactId, version $version, with packaging $packaging"
Below a better option using xmllint
. The example is a shell script which returns the value of the <version/>
element:
#!/bin/bash
echo 'setns ns=http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
cat /ns:project/ns:version/text()' | \
xmllint --shell pom.xml | egrep -v '^(/ >| -----)'
I managed to achieve it by working directly on the source XML file instead of working with xsltproc. In my shell script I created the following variable:
GROUPID="$(grep -Po '(?<=)\\w+(?=)' name_of_xml_file_here"
