XmlConvFileToFile

This program converts an input file to an output file using Java API calls in XML Export, and a template file. See Explore Conversion Options with the Sample Programs for more information on templates.

It demonstrates the following functions:

  • Extracts file format information (document type, format, and version) if it is available in the source document.

  • Extracts metadata if it is available in the source document.

    NOTE: Although the program extracts all the metadata in the document, it only displays the first element of metadata.

  • Displays a list of the files that are automatically generated during the conversion.

  • Specifies the directory in which temporary files created during conversion processes are stored. To specify the temporary directory, remove the comment from the following line in the XmlConvFileToFile.java file:

    objXmlExport.setConfigOption(new ConfigOption(Export.CFG_SETTEMPDIRECTORY, 0, "C:\\tmp"));
  • Extracts elements from a source XML file based on the extraction settings in the kvxconfig.ini file. See Configure Element Extraction for XML Documents.
