1.27. Checking the Smooks Execution Process

  1. To obtain an execution report from Smooks you must configure the ExecutionContext class to produce one. (Smooks will publish events as it processes messages.) The following sample code shows you how to configure Smooks to generate a HTML report: 
    Smooks smooks = new Smooks("/smooks/smooks-transform-x.xml");
ExecutionContext execContext = smooks.createExecutionContext();

execContext.setEventListener(new HtmlReportGenerator("/tmp/smooks-report.html"));
smooks.filterSource(execContext, new StreamSource(inputStream), new StreamResult(outputStream));
  2. Use the HtmlReportGenerator feature to assist you when debugging.
    Note
    You can see a sample report on this web page: http://www.milyn.org/docs/smooks-report/report.html
    Note
    Alternatively, you can create a custom ExecutionEventListener implementation.
