Hi Giles, your DOM document is pretty simple and it looks like you could extract its creation and your identity transform into a simple stand alone Java program.
Please do that and mail it to this mailing list, then I can have a look at it and run it and let you know if it is a programming error or something environmental. I also know some Xerces folks who are in the same building as myself ... just in case this is a XML issue with the document. - Brian - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Brian Minchau, Ph.D. XSLT Development, IBM Toronto e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] gilesP <[EMAIL PROTECTED] .co.uk> To xalan-j-users@xml.apache.org 05/09/2007 11:12 cc AM Subject Re: Cannot find the declaration... Hi Brian I get... trans class: org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerIdentityImpl docuemnt class: org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl I was not calling setNamespaceAware(true) but have added this to the code, sadly the same result. I have to admit that I am finding all this rather confusing!
