Hi,
I have a little problem transforming XML documents into HTML. I'm running
into
trouble as soon as my stylesheet contains HTML entities.
One simple example:
<!-- Stylesheet start -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>
<xsl:template match='top'>
<html>
<body>
Hello World!
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
<!-- Stylesheet end -->
My Java code that does the transformation:
<!-- start code -->
TransformerFactory f = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer t = f.newTransformer(new StreamSource(/* source XSL */)));
StreamSource source = new StreamSource(/* XML source */);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(/* output stream */);
t.transform(source, result);
<!-- end code -->
I'm using Xalan 2.5. Whenever I run my application, Xalan tries to load the
DTD
given in the DOCTYPE. Since I am on a slow network, this takes several
seconds. When I
am trying this without being connected to the Internet, transformation
fails, because
Xalan cannot contact www.w3.org.
Xalan obviously tries to resolve " ", and therefore it needs to check
the DTD to
find out what " " means. Is there a way to disable this feature? I
really don't need
Xalan to resolve anything, since all entities will be interpreted by the
target Web browser.
I guess that this is quite a basic question, but I just can't find a
solution.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me,
Volker
