Re: Can input xml and stylesheet be passed as strings to

Sorry, I haven't been keeping up with this thread.  It really belongs on
the xalan-dev list.

This all seems very strange. For one thing, are you sure you want to hand
in the xslbuf for both readers?  And why do you want to create DOMs??  I
would think you would want to do:

      java.io.StringReader carInput = new java.io.StringReader(inputXML);
      java.io.StringReader carStyle = new java.io.StringReader(styleSheet);

      org.apache.xalan.xslt.StylesheetRoot stylesheet
        = m_processor.processStylesheet(new XSLTInputSource(carStyle));
      stylesheet.process(m_processor, new XSLTInputSource(carStyle), new
XSLTResultTarget(pw));
      pw.flush();
      return osw.toString();

(I assume you know that the Processor object is not meant to be used
concurrently over multiple threads).

The DOM that was handed in didn't have a root element.  I don't think the
parse (getSourceTreeFromInput) succeded.  Not sure why without being in a
debugger.

It looks like you were copying code out of the client applet?
