Hi Peter,
I suspect your output XML is not actually valid.
This is not a valid xml document
<foo/>
<foo/>
because there is more than one element at the "top level".
Neither is this (text nodes must be nested within an element).
<foo/>
some text
However when using a StreamResult, this requirement isn't enforced
as the output doesn't have to be XML.
When using a DOMResult, the result *must* be well-formed XML (which the
above example is not).
However all this DOMResult stuff is not really addressing your problem;
I believe you want to really specify "no destination" for your
transform, because the output isn't actually relevant as you are using
the <redirect> extension to specify that from within the stylesheet.
I'm not familiar with the <redirect> extension, but one possible
solution is to simply use the StreamResult constructor that takes a
ByteArrayOutputStram as the target, rather than a file. Or (more
efficiently), you could write your own trivial Result class which just
discards everything passed to it.
Regards,
Simon
PS: this "Can't have more than one root on a DOM" appears to be a
replacement for the old "DOM_HIERARCHY" error message. A vast
improvement :-)
