Re: Feeding DOMs to XSLT Processors

Mark,

This is derived from my current, working code:

StylesheetRoot styRoot = null;
XSLTEngineImpl xsltEI = null;
//...
XercesLiaison xercesLiaison = new XercesLiaison();
this.xsltEI = new XSLTEngineImpl(xercesLiaison);
try
{
     this.styRoot = this.xsltEI.processStylesheet("foo.xsl");
}
catch(SAXException ex){ }

ByteArrayOutputStream byteout = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
XSLTResultTarget xsltResultTarget = new XSLTResultTarget(byteout);

//Create your DOM Document
//Document document = ...

try
{
     this.styRoot.process(this.xsltEI, document, xsltResultTarget);
}
catch(SAXException ex){ }

System.out.println(byteout.toString());

If anyone has been successful with this approach, I'd appreciate seeing
the
code that does this.
I can't get this to work. I get the following error.

"DTMLiaison can not handle nodes of typeclass
org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl"
