Stylesheet in Cocoon

Mon, 23 Dec 2002 02:17:43 -0800

Hi all. I am trying to create a stylesheet using cocoon and then apply this stylesheet to some input. I need to declare a root element with different namespace declarations.
When I was using batch file instead of Cocoon, I just wrote it as a string, e.g.:
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
    &lt;xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    &gt;
</xsl:text>
Since I was writing it to a file, it was written out as an root element.
 
But when I try to use the same method from Cocoon, it doesn't work, because Cocoon writes this out as a string, and in this case the output document will not have a root element.
I tried to declare the root inside an element, like this:
 
<xsl:element name="xsl:stylesheet">
    <xsl:attribute name="version">1.0</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="xmlns:xsl">http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="xmlns:saxon">http://icl.com/saxon</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="xmlns:rdf">http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="extension-element-prefixes">saxon</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
 
But what I get in the output is this:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" extension-element-prefixes="saxon">
 
i.e. xmlns:saxon and xmlns:rdf weren't written out.
And then, when I try to run the generated stylesheet on the html input, I get an error:
type fatal
message org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Could not read resource file:/C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Tomcat 4.1/webapps/cocoon/ub/violations.html: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Invalid processing instruction name (saxon:warning)
 
sender org.apache.cocoon.servlet.CocoonServlet
source Cocoon servlet
 
I guess this is because the above namespace declarations are missing, because if I apply the xsl that was generated outside the Cocoon (using batch file) - it works fine, and the only difference that I can see between these two files is that namespace declarations thing.
Maybe it's because something else, I don't know, I am not good in Cocoon yet.
So if somebody have some idea, what is wrong with my code, and what should I do, please tell me.
P.S. I searched the archives for the issue of "invalid processing instruction (saxon:warning)" and found one topic, but I didn't understood it and I even don't know if this relates to my problem.
 
Thank you very much for help.
