Hi, I am having major problems transforming XML to HTML with XSLT. We are doing this from a Servlet - this works fine when the XML does not contain any SYSTEM Entities, but when we put in an entity referring to another XML file it ceases to work. We are using Xalan 2.0.1 and Xerces 1.3.1
Below is the example XML files and XSL file and the Servlet code snippet. The code falls over at the tFactory.newTransformer(xslSource) with the following exception: javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: File "null" not found We have tried a variety of methods of creating the transformer object going through the TransformerFactory and through the Templates object and none of them seem to work properly. XSL FILE: <?xml version="1.0" ?> - <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> <xsl:variable name="this" select="/" /> <xsl:output method="html" /> - <xsl:template match="/"> - <html> - <head> <title>Test Page</title> </head> - <body> - <p> This is a test: <br /> - <b> - <i> - <u> <xsl:value-of select="article" /> </u> </i> </b> </p> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> XML FILE - with entity reference: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="/xsl/test.xsl"?> <!DOCTYPE test [ <!ENTITY news SYSTEM "/xml/test.xml"> ]> <article>&news;</article> XML FILE - that the entity refers to: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> This is a test SERVLET CODE: System.out.println("xsl: "+xslSource); TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xslSource); transformer.transform(xmlSource, new StreamResult(response.getOutputStream())); The code doesn't get past the creation of the Transformer object. Any help will be greatfully received!!!
