I had a similar problem. When I used the XInclude transformer, I got a NullPointerException when I tried to refer to the results with the "cocoon:/" protocol. Here was my solution (bad hack, but it worked):
I made a stylesheet "copy-of.xsl" that simply copied what it was passed without changing it. Then I used this stylesheet after the XInclude transformer to get rid of the errors: <map:match pattern="somefile.xml"> <map:generate src="somefile.xml"/> <map:transform type="xinclude"/> <map:transform src="copy-of.xsl"/> <!-- maybe SLQTransformer will work here now :) --> <map:serialize/> </map:match> <map:match pattern="otherfile.xml"> <map:generate src="cocoon:/somefile"/> <map:serialize/> </map:match> Hope this helps, Tim >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/16/02 09:27AM >>> I experience the following problem: I am including fragments of another xml file using xinclude and the xpointer() syntax. Works fine. If I then want to use the SQLTransformer within the same pipeline, I get a org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Failed to execute pipeline.: java.lang.NullPointerException Original exception : java.lang.Original exception : java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.xml.utils.AttList.getValue(AttList.java:247) at org.apache.cocoon.transformation.SQLTransformer.startQueryElement(SQLTransformer.java:403) at org.apache.cocoon.transformation.SQLTransformer.startTransformingElement(SQLTransformer.java:742) ... If I take the result of the xinclude step, save it as a file and just process it using the same SQLTransformer step, everything works fine... Using 2.03 / Tomcat 4.04, but a recent CVS shows the same behaviour. I personally didn't find anything in bugzilla, but is it a known bug, or could I have done something wrong? Any ideas?
