Hi,

I have a XML document which resembles,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<CONTENT TYPE="PR">
	<HEADER>Header</HEADER>
	<TITLE>Title</TITLE>
	<SDATE>09-Feb-2000</SDATE>
	<SUMMARY>
		<STEXT>Description</STEXT>
		<IMGSRC SIZE="1">images/dwc_m.gif</IMGSRC>
	</SUMMARY>
	<SUBTITLES>
		<SUBTITLE ID="1">
			<KEYWORDS>Keyword</KEYWORDS>
			<HEADING>The Event</HEADING>
			<LINKTXT TXTMAXLEN="">The Event</LINKTXT>
			<BODY><![CDATA[SomeData]]></BODY>
			<IMGSRC SIZE="">images/dwc_m.gif</IMGSRC>
			<IMGCAPT>Image caption</IMGCAPT>
		</SUBTITLE>
	</SUBTITLES>
	<RELATEDLINKS>
		<RLINK ID="1" TARGET="POPUP">
			<LTEXT MAXLEN="">Some heading</LTEXT>
			<URL>http://www.something.com</URL>
		</RLINK>
	</RELATEDLINKS>
	<FOOTER>footer</FOOTER>
</CONTENT>

I need to tranform this XML into encoding type "ISO-8859-6" (Arabic). I'm
using the Oracle-XML Parser via Java to perform the transformation.
So I used this XSLT,

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0" >
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="ISO-8859-6" cdata-section-elements="BODY"
/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="/" />
<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:copy-of select="/" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

This does the job fine. Now I want to make my XSLT more generic so I don't
have to specifically say that the "<BODY>" is a CDATA section. Basically I
want an exact copy of the original document whatever the original document
may be.

I tried,

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0" >
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="ISO-8859-6" cdata-section-elements="BODY"
/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="/" />
<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:copy-of select="document()" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

but this doesn't work. 

Much appreciated if you could give me a hint on how to do this. And also any
pointers on whether I'm doing something completely wrong.

Thanks and regards,
Mayura
