Re: The root element is required in a well-formed document.

Joseph,

I finally found out that appareantly the 'The root element is required in a
well-formed document.' is caused when I try to detect if a xmlstream has a
xslfile defined via the href= attribute:

      try { // Check if xml has link to stylesheet
         System.err.println("Looking for XSL file...");

         // Look for stylesheet in xmlfile/stream/reader
         if (xmlfile != null) {
           System.err.println("Looking in xmlfile");
           xslsource = tfactory.getAssociatedStylesheet(new
StreamSource(xmlfile),media, title, charset);
           if (xslsystemid == (null))
             xslsystemid = xmlfile.toString();
         } else {
            if (xmlstream != null) {  // IT GOES WRONg HERE !
              xslsource = tfactory.getAssociatedStylesheet(new
StreamSource(xmlstream),media, title, charset);
              System.err.println("Looking in xmlstream");
            } else {
              if (xmlreader != null) {
                xslsource = tfactory.getAssociatedStylesheet(new
StreamSource(xmlreader),media, title, charset);
                System.err.println("Looking in xmlreader");
              }
            }
          }

As long as it is a xmlFILE then there is no problem, but when it is a
xmlstream the problem arises (didn't check with a xmlreader).

I use XalanD22R14.

Is this a bug, do I something wrong or is this maybe solved in 2.3.1 ?

Regards,

Stefan
