Re: Problems with TransformerFactory.newTransformer()

[G. Todd Miller - XML Tech Ctr - Development]

Hi Paul,

What does 'String stylesheet' look like??? In the current code, 
newTransformer takes a Source stylesheet and does two things (currently):
(1) casts the Source to a StreamSource and then attempts to get an 
java.io.InputStream out of it, (2) tries to get a SystemId from Source
and it then tries to open a java.io.File from it.  My guess is that
if you are passing in a URL, then I need to handle that directly.

What does String stylesheet look like???

        >>templatefilepath = theLoader.getTemplateFilePath();
        >>Templates template = null;
        >>String output = new String();
        >>        try
        >>        {
        >>            String xslInURI = stylesheet;
        >>            String xmlInURI = templatefilepath;
        >>            TransformerFactory tFactory = 
TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        >>            Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(new
        >>StreamSource(xslInURI));  //THROWS EXCEPTION HERE
        >>            transformer.transform(new StreamSource(xmlInURI),new
        >>StreamResult(output));
