I trying to transform an xml document generated from a database call to
a text output file. This works fine when System.out is specified in the
StreamResult, but when a File is defined I get a

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.io.FileNotFoundException:
home/username/Java/final.xml (No such file or directory)
    at
org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.createResultContentHandler(Unknown
Source)
    at
org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.createResultContentHandler(Unknown
Source)
    at
org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.transform(Unknown Source)

Is there something about StreamResult or JDOMSource that the Transformer
doesn't like?

Tx, Rich

Here is a code snippet:
public class xmlquerydb_xsl
{
public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException
{
 File outfile = null;
 
System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory","org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl");
 
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory","org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl");
// File output fails
  //File outfile = new File("final.xml");
  //StreamResult out = new StreamResult(outfile);
// System.out works
  StreamResult out = new StreamResult(System.out);
  ""
// Connect to database generate xml document
    OracleXMLQuery qry = new OracleXMLQuery(conn, query);
    Document domDoc = (Document) qry.getXMLDOM();
     org.jdom.input.DOMBuilder builder = new
org.jdom.input.DOMBuilder();
     org.jdom.Document jdomDoc = builder.build(domDoc);
     JDOMSource src = new JDOMSource(jdomDoc);

    TransformerFactory transformerfactory =
TransformerFactory.newInstance();
    Transformer xf = transformerfactory.newTransformer(new
StreamSource("space-delimited.xsl"));
    xf.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING,"US-ASCII");
    xf.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT,"yes");
    xf.transform(src,out);
"
}
}
