Problems with XSLTInputSource

[christopher . j . downey]

Hi

I am quite new to Xalan and XSLT and Im having a few problems trying to transform an XML message using a simple XSLT file.

I have a char* inputMessage that contains the xml to be transformed.  I am using an isstrstream to populate the XSLTInputSource.  I am also using the compileStylesheet method, which is returning without error.  I get the following error when I try the transformation:

Fatal Error.Occurred at unknown file , line 1 , column 2. Expected an element name

Ive tried stripping down the input msg to just a couple of tags, but still get the same error msg.

Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Chris
