transform() fails for DOMSource but succeeds for StreamSource 2003-08-18 - By Dave Flanagan
Had originally sent the response shown below detailing the problem he was
having - but it did not make it to the userlist when I sent the response -
here it is again if any one was interested in what what happening
Dave Flanagan
Michael - making one of two changes should correct the problem you are
experiencing:
Solution #1:
Instead of dealing with the Document Element of the source which you are
obtaining with the following line:
Element docRoot = db.parse(inName).getDocumentElement();
change it to
Document docRoot = db.parse(inName);
-------
Solution #2:
If no change to your java code is desired then
in the stylesheet change
<xsl:template match="/files">
to
<xsl:template match="files">
