I had the same problem with the same error: The primary document entity could 
not be opened. Id={null}
I could not solved it yet.
I was constructing a DOM from a string, I was taking some elements from it and 
after that I was trying to make a XSL transformation. I could get rid of that 
runtime error.

I would appreciate if someone can give us a solution.

Thanks
Mihnea

Subject: Transforming a Xerces DOM with Xalan


Apologies if this is a FAQ - but I couldn't find anything that exactly
addressed my problem in the archives or docs.

I want to take a DOM document from DOMParser and transform it with Xalan.
The Xalan basic usage patterns describe how to do this - but I couldn't get
that code to compile.  With some minor changes, I ended up with this:

1               XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();
2
3               XalanTransformer::initialize();
4
5               DOMParser  theParser;
6               theParser.setToCreateXMLDeclTypeNode(false);
7               theParser.parse(argv[1]);
8               DOM_Document theDOM = theParser.getDocument();
9
10              XercesDOMSupport theDOMSupport;
11              XercesParserLiaison     theParserLiaison(theDOMSupport);
12              XalanDocument* theDoc =
theParserLiaison.createDocument(theDOM);
13
14              XSLTInputSource theInputSource(theDoc);
15
16              XalanTransformer theXalanTransformer;
17
18              theResult = theXalanTransformer.transform(theInputSource,
"stylesheet.xsl", cout); 

But I get the error:

error C2664: '__thiscall XSLTInputSource::XSLTInputSource(const unsigned
short *)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class XalanDocument *' to
'const unsigned short *'
        Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires
reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

Looking in the apidocs I don't see 'const unsigned short *' as a possible
constructor, so I don't know what's going on.  I tried casting like this:

14              XSLTInputSource theInputSource((XalanNode*)theDoc);

which compiled, but it fails at runtime with 

Fatal Error at (file , line 0, column 0): An exception occured!
Type:RuntimeExce
ption, Message:The primary document entity could not be opened. Id={null}
Error:
An exception occured! Type:RuntimeException, Message:The primary document
entity
 could not be opened. Id={null}

Can anyone spot my error, or point me to the right place in the
documentation/faq?

Thanks,
David.
