I have tried several ways to get the processing instructions in my XML
document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="c:\abc.xslt">
<root>
</root>
with no success.
Method 1:
Document doc = new DocumentImpl();
ProcessingInstruction pi = doc.createProcessingInstruction
("xml-stylesheet", "type=text/xsl href=c:\\abc.xslt">
doc.appendChild(pi);
Element root = doc.createElement("root");
doc.appendChild(root);
Results:
The processing instruction does not appear in XML document.
Method 2:
Document doc = new DocumentImpl();
ProcessingInstruction pi = doc.createProcessingInstruction
("xml-stylesheet", "type=text/xsl href=c:\\abc.xslt">
Element root = doc.createElement("root");
Node node = doc.appendChild(root);
doc.insertBefore(pi, node);
Results:
The processing instruction does not appear in XML document.
Method 3:
Document doc = new DocumentImpl();
ProcessingInstruction pi = doc.createProcessingInstruction
("xml-stylesheet", "type=text/xsl href=c:\\abc.xslt">
Element root = doc.createElement("root");
Node node = doc.appendChild(root);
node.appendChild(pi);
Results:
The processing instruction appears after the root node.
Thanks.

The first is not a processing instruction, even though it
looks like one. It is the XML Declaration as defined by
the XML specification. Therefore, you should not try to
create a processing instruction with the target name of
"xml".

Please explain the error you are getting and include a
stack-trace if possible. Also, you need to escape the
backslash in your code (e.g. "c:\\abs.xslt").
