Re: What is wrong with this transformation ... more info

I think I identified the core of the problem:

DOM2SAX.parse is failing on

<field name="VENDOR_NBR" table="TBL_FINAL_LOCATION_LIST"/>

The problem is exposed in this snippet:

      case Node.TEXT_NODE:
          final String data = node.getNodeValue();
          _sax.characters(data.toCharArray(), 0, data.length());
          break;


getNodeValue() returns null for the empty element.
since data is null, data.toCharArray() fails with a NullPointerException.

Is this a bug in the DOM2SAX implementation, or a design constraint of
XSLT?
