Hi there, I'd appreciate your input/help on the following:
I am having issues with the example in the Cookbook which refers to transforming XML via an XSL stylesheet. The code breaks on this line of code: Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(new File("H:\\XML\\Stylesheet.xsl"))); At gnu.xml.aelfred2.SAXDriver.getLineNumber(SAXDriver.java:1165) The follwing is the code as well as the stacktrace which shows a NullPointerException. I am also including the stylesheet as well as the source XML document for your information. import java.io.File; import javax.xml.transform.Transformer; import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory; import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource; import org.dom4j.Document; import org.dom4j.io.DocumentResult; import org.dom4j.io.DocumentSource; /** * TODO To change the template for this generated type comment go to * Window - Preferences - Java - Code Style - Code Templates */ public class XMLDocumentTransformer { public static Document styleDocument( Document document ) throws Exception { // load the transformer using JAXP TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(new File("H:\\XML\\Stylesheet.xsl"))); // now lets style the given document DocumentSource source = new DocumentSource( document ); DocumentResult result = new DocumentResult(); transformer.transform( source, result ); // return the transformed document Document transformedDoc = result.getDocument(); return transformedDoc; } } Stack Trace java.lang.NullPointerException at gnu.xml.aelfred2.SAXDriver.getLineNumber(SAXDriver.java:1165) at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.Parser.parseTopLevel(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.Parser.parsePattern(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.Template.parseContents(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.Stylesheet.parseOwnChildren(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.Stylesheet.parseContents(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.Parser.createAST(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.XSLTC.compile(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.XSLTC.compile(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl.newTemplates(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl.newTransformer(Unknown Source) at org.arp.xml.XMLDocumentTransformer.styleDocument(XMLDocumentTransformer.java:35) at org.arp.xml.FileExporter.writeFile(FileExporter.java:25) at org.arp.xml.XMLParsingInvoker.invokeParser(XMLParsingInvoker.java:43) at org.arp.xml.XMLParsingInvoker.main(XMLParsingInvoker.java:25) Stylesheet <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- Edited with XML Spy v4.2 --> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> <h2>My CD Collection</h2> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Source XML Document <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <catalog> <cd> <title>Empire Burlesque</title> <artist>Bob Dylan</artist> <country>USA</country> <company>Columbia</company> <price>10.90</price> <year>1985</year> </cd> </catalog> ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
