3.1. Using convertdoc

Usage:

convertdoc -l

or:

convertdoc [-t XSLT_stylesheet_file_or_URL]?
     [-r|-ru resource_name resource_value]*
     [-p|-pu XSLT_stylesheet_param_name XSLT_stylesheet_param_value]*
     -v? -d? [-auth credentials]*
     process_command_name doc_file_or_URL
     [-s|-u process_command_arg]*

Converts XML document doc_file_or_URL using process command called process_command_name, found in any of the XXE configuration files scanned during the startup of convertdoc (see XMLmind XML Editor - Configuration and Deployment).

Options:

-l

Print XXE configuration (XXE configuration files but also XML catalogs, plug-ins, spell-checker dictionaries, CLASSPATH) and exit.

-t XSLT_stylesheet_file_or_URL

Use this alternate XSLT style sheet instead of the one specified in the first transform child element of the process command.

If specified process command has no transform child element but has subProcess child elements, these sub-processes are searched recursively for a transform child element.

-r|-ru resource_name resource_value

Copy specified resource rather than the one specified in the <copyProcessResources name="resource_name"> child element of the process command.

-ru is useful when the resource value is a relative filename that needs to be converted to an absolute "file:" URL.

-p|-pu XSLT_stylesheet_param_name XSLT_stylesheet_param_value

Add/replace corresponding XSLT style sheet parameter in the first transform child element of the process command.

-pu is useful when the parameter value is a relative filename that needs to be converted to an absolute "file:" URL.

If specified process command has no transform child element but has subProcess child elements, these sub-processes are searched recursively for a transform child element.

-s|-u process_command_arg ... -s|-u process_command_arg

Pass these arguments to the process command as the values of process variables %0, %1, ..., %9.

If -s (String) is specified, the argument is passed as is.

If -u (URL) is specified, the argument, a file or directory name, is first converted to an URL.

-v

Turn verbosity on.

-d

Sets the debug attribute of the process command to value true (no matter what has been specified in the process element).

This prevents the process command from deleting its work directory (/tmp/xxeNNNN/) at the end of the processing.

-auth credentials

This option can be used to specify authentication credentials for a given server. This allows to connect to the specified server without interactively asking the user to enter a username and a password.

String credentials consists in 6 fields: host, port, prompt, scheme, username, password, in that order, separated by a newline character ('\n'). Fields host, port, prompt, scheme can be left empty, which means: match any. The UTF-8 bytes of the string are then encoded in base-64.

Command-line utility "java -cp xxe.jar com.xmlmind.netutil.SimpleAuthenticatorModule" allows to generate such encoded string. Example: encode string "\n\nDocument Store\n\nvictoria\nsecret":

/opt/xxe/bin$ java -cp xxe.jar com.xmlmind.netutil.SimpleAuthenticatorModule \
victoria secret - "Document Store"
