Put a xalan.jar next to the xsl and call:

java -Xbootclasspath/p:xalan.jar -jar xalan.jar -in in.xml -xsl book.xsl -out 
out.xml

where you can replace in.xml with book.xsl if you have no input xml at hand..

:-)

Cheers

PS: the bootclasspath parameter makes sure that you are using the xalan.jar you are providing yourself, not the one that is installed with JDK.

Hi

Thanks for this, can someone explain how to run the command line check
please as I am not sure how to manually check.

Thanks again.



In case, is it not more likely that stylesheet itself was the
source of the problem - in which case Geert's suggestion
of a command line test should help you pin down the
cause in more detail.

Hi

We commented out the "offending" xsl:include and the page rendered.

Thanks


FWIW, I also migrated to 2.1.7 (but not from 2.0.4);

I have:

<map:transformers default="xslt"/>

in the map:components section, and

<map:transform src="filename.xsl">

i.e. no "type=" as an attribute...

what leads you to think the xsl:include s are the
source of the problem?


[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005/12/19 01:59 PM >>>

Are you sure that there is no syntax error in the XSLT that was not
spotted by an earlier version of
Xalan, but is with a later one? Try applying the stylesheet to itself on
a
command-line to get a
syntax check.

Cheers,
Geert

Hi

We are currently attempting to move applications from v2.0.4 to v2.1.7
and
have noticed that stylesheets containing xsl:includes are failing where
they functioned perfectly well pre-migration.

The error we get is:

Caused by: org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Unable to get
transformer handler for
file:/usr/local/apache/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/webapps/content/content/www.brokerzone.ie/xsl/bzcontent.xsl:
org.apache.excalibur.xml.xslt.XSLTProcessorException: Exception in
creating Transform Handler

Cocoon runs under Tomcat (v5.5.9) in our case.

I have seen a number of threads that suggest that it could be
xalan/xsltc
and so have tried changing the transformer type in the sitemap pipeline
from:

<map:transform type="xslt"...
to
<map:transform type="xsltc"...
and have also tried
<map:transform type="xalan"...

however this does not solve the problem.

We have copied the latest xalan & xerces distribution jars to the
endorsed
directory of Tomcat to no avail.

Anyone know how we can get round this problem?

Thanks

Duncan
