Hi again, Anyone got any ideas on this ... I still haven't received any feedback and am hoping that someone has gone through the same experiences - any feedback would be very welcome indeed.

All the examples have been targetted toward reading XML from a file ( url and StreamSource approaches). However, in our application we need to receive data from the business layer as an XML org.w3c.dom.Document object - I don't want to transform the Document object into a String object before trying the transformation. Here's the test code I've been using with what does and what doesn't seem to work: <%@page language="java" session="true"%> <html> <body> <%@ taglib uri="examples-taglib" prefix="eg" %> <%@ taglib uri="jakarta-import-taglib" prefix="c" %> <%@ taglib uri="xtags-taglib" prefix="xtags" %> <%@ taglib uri="x-transform-taglib" prefix="x" %> <b><u>Resource description: </u></b> <!-- Trial XSLT --> <!-- FORM tags always needed otherwise input will not show in Netscape 4.75 --> <form> <%! javax.xml.transform.Source source; %> <%! java.lang.String uriXSL; %> <% String uriXML = "file:///D:/development/tools/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1" + "/webapps/proto/jsp/test.xml"; uriXSL = "file:///D:development/tools/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1" + "/webapps/proto/jsp/test.xsl"; source = new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource(uriXML); %> <!-- this works Fine--> <xtags:style xsl="<%= uriXSL %>" xmlSource="<%= source %>"/> <!-- now test as DOM object --> <%! javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource domSource; %> <!-- this bean simply creates a full textual xml presentation of the DOM tree --> <!-- it works fine --> <jsp:useBean id="testDomProcessor" class="com.tietoenator.domutils.TestDomProcessor"/> <% // // Create a DOM tree for this test (in practice this would be an object in the session) // // Instantiate DocumentBuilderFactory. javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory dfactory = javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); // Use DocumentBuilderFactory to access a DocumentBuilder. javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dfactory.newDocumentBuilder(); // Use DocumentBuilder to parse XML input. org.w3c.dom.Document doc = dBuilder.parse(uriXML); //Now create a textual representation of the DOM tree StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(); org.w3c.dom.Element root = doc.getDocumentElement(); testDomProcessor.stepThroughAll(buf, root); %> <!-- this works fine also --> <xtags:style xsl="<%= uriXSL %>"> <%= buf.toString() %> </xtags:style> <!-- this DOESN'T work - DOMSource content is empty --> <% domSource = new javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource(doc); %> <xtags:style xsl="<%= uriXSL %>" xmlSource="<%= domSource %>"/> <!-- x taglibs used - this works for static resources and doesn't handle DOM tree --> <c:import url="test.xml" var="xml"/> <c:import url="test.xsl" var="xslt"/> <x:transform source="$xml" xslt="$xslt"/> </form> </body> </html> Anyone got any ideas how to get xtags:style and x:transform to work with a org.w3c.dom.Document object?
