I am having an issue with output of data when I perform a
transformation.
I am attempting to do a DOMSource to DOMResult transformation. My
stylesheet has the xml:output property set to "xml".
Currently when that runs I get a DOMException:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.w3c.dom.DOMException:
HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: An attempt was made to insert a node where it is
not permitted.
This led me to think there was something wrong with the output which I
discovered by changing to a StreamSource and dumping to System.out:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>fieldValue fieldValue2 ...
I would think I had something wrong with my stylesheet but I have two
reasons that make me think I have a xalan configuration error some
obscure defect.
1) The output of fieldValue fieldValue2 comes from my stylesheet which
should be wrapped in XML elements.
2) When I run the same code using SAXON 6.5.5 I get the output I am
expecting, eg:
<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?<root><firstElement>fieldValue</firstElement></secondEl
ement>fieldValue2</secondElement>...
My transformer code is completely standard:
public Document transform(Document document) {
Source requestSource = new DOMSource(document);
URL url = this.getClass()getResource("stylesheet.xsl");
Source stylesheet = new StreamSource(url.toString());
Transformer transformer =
TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(stylesheet);
Document resultDocument =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().newDocument();
transformer.transform(requestSource, new DOMResult(resultDocument));
Return resultDocument;
}
I have done exhaustive digging into this and am at a complete loss. It
seems like Xalan is using the text output method but I have explicitly
named the xml method type. Does anyone have any idea what would cause
Xalan to behave in this way?
Thank you in advance for your help.
