Passing XML as input parameter to XSLT Transformer

[Gaurav Suri]

Hi, 

I am trying to pass XML as an input parameter the JAVA trannsformer but am
getting the following error : 

Exception stack is: 
1. Invalid conversion from 'org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredElementImpl' to
'node- 
set'. (java.lang.RuntimeException) 
  com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.runtime.BasisLibrary:-1
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/RuntimeException.html) 


Root Exception stack trace:

Input XML : 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<order> 
  <clientId>CLT001</clientId> 
  <orderId>ORD001</orderId> 
  <bill>12.5</bill> 
  <deliveryDate>2006-01-11</deliveryDate> 
  <location>001</location> 
  </order> 


Input Parameter to the stylesheet (also an XML) : 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<locations> 
 <location> 
          <name>001</name> 
          <value>Bangalore</value> 
        </location> 
<location> 
          <name>002</name> 
          <value>Dellhi</value> 
        </location> 
  </locations> 


Stylesheet: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<?altova_samplexml C:\Documents and Settings\gaurav_suri\Desktop\Input.xml?> 
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> 
        <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="ISO-8859-1"
standalone="yes"/> 
        <xsl:template match="*"> 
                <client> 
                        <xsl:value-of select="clientId"/> 
                </client> 
                <ordernumber> 
                        <xsl:value-of select="orderId"/> 
                </ordernumber> 
                <deliverydate> 
                        <xsl:value-of select="deliveryDate"/> 
                </deliverydate> 
                <bill> 
                        <xsl:value-of select="bill"/> 
                </bill> 
                <area> 
                        <xsl:value-of
select="$ORM/locations/location[name=001]/value"/> 
                </area> 
        </xsl:template> 
</xsl:stylesheet> 


Code Snippet : 

Source sourceDoc = getXmlSource(src);
            if (sourceDoc == null) return null;

            ResultHolder holder = getResultHolder(returnClass);
            if (holder == null) holder = getResultHolder(src.getClass());

            DefaultErrorListener errorListener = new
DefaultErrorListener(this);
            Transformer transformer = null;
            Object result;
            try
            {
                transformer = (Transformer)transformerPool.borrowObject();

                transformer.setErrorListener(errorListener);
                transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING,
encoding);
                
                //set transformation parameters
                if (transformParameters != null){
                        for(Entry<String,Object> parameter :
transformParameters.entrySet()){
                                transformer.setParameter(parameter.getKey(),
evaluateTransformParameter(parameter.getKey(),parameter.getValue()));
                        }
                }
                
                transformer.transform(sourceDoc, holder.getResult());
                result = holder.getResultObject();

//where evaluateTransformParameter method returns a document built as
follows : 


DocumentBuilderFactory documentbuilderfactory =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); 
InputSource inputsource = new InputSource(new StringReader(s)); 
org.w3c.dom.Document document =
documentbuilderfactory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(inputsource);       
return document; 

//s being the input XML parameter as string. 


Any pointers for correction.. 

Regards 
Gaurav
