Yes, I saw the file through a browser, and I'm sure that it's valid. Also I
tried a completely empty XML file with only open and close tag. Either way
it parses all right when found as a local file, but the file as retrieved
over HTTP does not work. So I am quite sure that the problem lies there. I
think the HTTP headers are not stripped. If this is the case, can anybody
tell me a straightforward way of stripping the headers in Java? I'm sure I
don't have to write something common and low-level like that ;-) Maybe in
your case the header stripping was done by PHP? I sort of would expect that
from Java as well when I request an XML file over HTTP...
So far what I did was write a custom URIResolver like this, this gives
exactly the same result (same error as in original email):
transformer.setURIResolver (new URIResolver() {
public Source resolve(String href, String base) {
StreamSource source = null;
URL context = null, url = null;
try {
context = new URL(base);
url = new URL(context, href);
InputStream in = url.openStream();
source = new StreamSource(in, url.toString());
}
catch (MalformedURLException urle) {
//
}
catch (IOException ioe) {
//
}
return source;
}
});
Since my code obviously doesn't do header stripping and gives the same
result, I strongly feel like headers are still there when doing a
StreamSource("http://localhost/risc/readonly.jsp";).
Any additional thoughts/help would be appreciated.
