http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14325 Transformer fails when Templates constructed with "new StreamSource(new FileReader(<filepath>))" Summary: Transformer fails when Templates constructed with "new StreamSource(new FileReader(<filepath>))" Product: XalanJ2 Version: 2.4 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: org.apache.xalan.transformer AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note the difference in the way that the Templates instance is created in the following code snippet ("xslFile" is a String containing a file path): TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); //THIS ONE WORKS Templates t = tf.newTemplates(new StreamSource(xslFile)); //THIS ONE THROWS AN ERROR: "Unknown error in XPath" //Templates t = tf.newTemplates(new StreamSource(new FileReader(xslFile))); Transformer transformer = t.newTransformer(); //Starts a server object whose methods are called from the xsl stylesheet LocalTermServer tm = initLocalTermServer(); transformer.setParameter("te",tm); transformer.transform(new StreamSource(inputFile), new StreamResult(outputFile)); When the bad version is used, the Unknown XPath error is thrown at the time transform() is called (all preceding statements succeed without apparent error, and this code compiles without error). This problem occurs only when a stylesheet is used that contains extension functions and the "document()" function (simpler stylesheets work without problem). Is this a known bug? Note that similar problems occur when an InputStream instance is used to construct the StreamSource also (i.e. -> //Templates t = tf.newTemplates(new StreamSource(anInputStream)); Obviously, TransformerFactory.getTemplates() should work the same regardless of how the StreamSource that is its argument was created. That doesn't seem to be the case, at least with certain kinds of stylesheets.
