We've recently acquired Beta 10 release
of JDOM and are interested in the new transformation classes. Do
they support transforming an XML doc using an XSL file that I provide?
I have the following code but I get the exception "java.lang.IllegalStateException:
Root element not set " when I attempt to do anything with the
transformed document:
XSLTransformer
transformer = new XSLTransformer(xslFileName);
Document
targetDoc = transformer.transform(sourceDoc);
System.out.println(targetDoc);
// This line throws the exception indicating that the transformation
did not occur correctly
The XML doc is transformed fine using
the XMLTransformer class provided by IBM WebSphere. Unfortunately,
the WebSphere class only deals with files-- something that we don't want
due to I/O processing. We want to transform XML strings instead of
files. Am I not understanding something about the JDOM transformation
classes or are there future plans to support what we want?
A reply to this note would be greatly
appreciated.
