Il'' see it in a while when I've resolved every other issue.. .. see below..

Thanx! That was it!!!!!!!!!!.. now i can have the output without errors.
(erll.. sometimes).. It is still not parseed correctly by the XSL but I'll
manage.. it seem to be a problem with namespace only.. But I have another
nasty problem:
every other invokation of the servlet I get an exception because th
super.contentHandler of my generator is NULL. If i relaod it is not null,
if I reload again it is null (i've checked it by logging..) ..
Any idea?? I've found a vague refernce to this, stating that
"The content handler is NULL when trying to process
the SAX Events through the AbstractDOMTransformer."
but I can't see why it works every other invokation. THe generator is
recreated each time, I gather?
Thanks
