I want to do a transform with a DOMSource input. If I do this from a file
(i.e. StreamSource), it works fine, but changing only the argument to
transform() to be a DOMSource, then the transformation fails with a
HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR. I boiled down a test for this to its simplest form,
containing 80 lines of code below. This code performs one of three
transforms (differing in type of argument) by invoking with "-A", "-B", or
"-C". It uses supplementary files test.xml and test.xsl following.
Question 1: Why does transform() fail if I use a DOMSource argument??
I believe I am using Xalan 2.4.0 and Xerces 2.3.0.
Question 2: How does one query Xalan/Xerces to find the version number?
