I’ve converted a xerces dom document to a XercesDOMWrapperParsedSource and call XalanTransformer to transform the xml.

The XalanTransformer succeeds in creating the output, however the transformation behaves as if it could not locate any of the input xml’s attributes.

Code to make this happen looks like the following:

DOMDocument pDomDocument = NULL;

populateDomDocument( pDomDocument ); // a method I have to populate the dom document with elements/attributes.
Please make sure you're creating a namespace-aware DOM. You must use DOMDocument::createElementNS(), DOMElement::setAttributeNS() and DOMDocument::createAttributeNS(). Also, if you expect xsl:copy and xsl:copy-of to work correctly with namespace nodes, you will need to make sure you add the appropriate attributes in the proper namespace for each namespace declaration.

This can be pretty tricky, so you might want to take a look at the Namespaces recommendation for more details about the proper namespaces for the attributes that declare the namespaces.


XercesParserLiaison theParserLiaison;

XercesDOMSupport theDOMSupport( theParserLiaison );

XercesDOMWrapperParsedSource inputData( pDomDocument, theParserLiaison, theDOMSupport );

XSLTInputSource stylesheet( “c:/test/test.xsl” );

XSLTResultTarget result( “c:/test/output.out” );

XalanTransformer* xtran = new XalanTransformer();

xtran->transform( inputdata, stylesheet, result );

Additional details:

I have dumped the pDomDocument to the c:/test directory and added a processing statement:
<?xml-stylesheet type=”text/xsl” href=”test.xsl”>

When I double click on this pDomDocument dump file, it opens in Internet Explorer, and IE displays the file as having been transformed correctly (attributes were selected).
And if you let Xalan-C build its own source tree from the markup, I'm sure it would work as well. You can test this by using the Xalan executable:

Xalan -a dump.xml


The root tag/element of pDomDocument has a namespace.
There is a big difference between markup and the resulting DOM tree, particularly with regard to namespaces.
