When I try to use the XML serializer in Xerces 1.1.2, I get the following exception:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: SER002 No writer supplied for serializer at java.lang.Throwable.<init>(Throwable.java:74) at java.lang.Exception.<init>(Exception.java:38) at java.lang.RuntimeException.<init>(RuntimeException.java:43) at java.lang.IllegalStateException.<init>(IllegalStateException.java:41) at org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer.startDocument (XMLSerializer.java:352) This problem didn't occur in Xerces 1.0.3. Here is a simple program to illustrate the problem: import java.io.*; import org.apache.xml.serialize.*; import org.xml.sax.*; import org.xml.sax.helpers.*; public class Serialize { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { if (args.length < 1) { System.out.println("Syntax: Serialize <filename>"); return; } OutputFormat of = new OutputFormat(); of.setEncoding("iso-8859-1"); of.setDoctype("null","foo.dtd"); XMLSerializer serial = new XMLSerializer(new FileOutputStream(args[0]), of); serial.startDocument(); serial.processingInstruction("acme", "hej på dig!"); AttributeListImpl attrs = new AttributeListImpl(); attrs.addAttribute("hej","CDATA","banan"); attrs.addAttribute("id","ID","A123"); serial.startElement("foo", attrs); serial.characters("foo bar".toCharArray(),0,7); serial.endElement("foo"); serial.endDocument(); } } P.S: I'm not subscribed to this mailing list, please answer by mail to me (see the sig below). -- /****************************************************************\ * You have just read a message from Mikael Ståldal. * * * * Remove "-ingen-reklam" from the address before mail replying. * \****************************************************************/
