RE: A colon is not allowed in the name

Hi Michael,
This thread's discussion heads in another direction. Just want to
clarify it finally.

My xml does not have any namespace declaration, only the xsl file has
it.

So when I try to generate PDF out of it with
"javax.xml.transform.Transformer", Transformer parses the xsl file and
not the xml file. But error causing line is in xml (<?QM: GENERATOR
[Ref] 10055: ParaHeading: NEW?> ) not in xsl. So why am I getting the
error.

Thanks,
Navpreet.

I think some XML parsers probably still allow you to parse
non-namespace-aware XML, if you set the right switches. But
javax.xml.transform.Transformer is not an interface to XML parsers, it
is an
interface to XSLT processors, and XSLT requires namespace-well-formed
input.
