Hi,

I'm trying to do simple transform from a simple XML document to plain text. I'm using the current Xalan 2.2D14 and the supplied Xerces and JDOM 1.0b7 for my XML generation.

I have the following XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<document>
	<title>The Title</title>
</document>

When I try and process it through this stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="text" />

  <xsl:template match="document">
    <xsl:apply-templates />
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="title">
    <xsl:value-of select="." />
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I get the following stack trace which unfortunately doesn't give me enough information to figure out the problem.

java.util.EmptyStackException javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.util.EmptyStackException at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.transformNode (TransformerImpl.java:1230) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.transform(TransformerImpl.java: 642) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.transform(TransformerImpl.java: 1092) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.transform(TransformerImpl.java: 1070) at com.katahdinsoftware.MainStub.<init>(MainStub.java:46) at com.katahdinsoftware.MainStub.main(MainStub.java:58) --------- java.util.EmptyStackException at java.util.Stack.peek(Stack.java:82) at org.jdom.input.SAXHandler.characters(SAXHandler.java:483) at org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLFilterImpl.characters(XMLFilterImpl.java:614) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.ResultTreeHandler.characters (ResultTreeHandler.java:479) at org.apache.xml.utils.FastStringBuffer.sendSAXcharacters(FastStringBuffer.java: 975) at org.apache.xml.dtm.ref.sax2dtm.SAX2DTM.dispatchCharactersEvents(SAX2DTM.java: 493) at org.apache.xpath.objects.XNodeSet.dispatchCharactersEvents(XNodeSet.java:262) at org.apache.xpath.Expression.executeCharsToContentHandler(Expression.java:303) at org.apache.xalan.templates.ElemValueOf.execute(ElemValueOf.java:319) at org.apache.xalan.templates.ElemApplyTemplates.transformSelectedNodes (ElemApplyTemplates.java:420) at org.apache.xalan.templates.ElemApplyTemplates.execute(ElemApplyTemplates.java: 226) at org.apache.xalan.templates.ElemApplyTemplates.transformSelectedNodes (ElemApplyTemplates.java:420) at org.apache.xalan.templates.ElemApplyTemplates.execute(ElemApplyTemplates.java: 226) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.executeChildTemplates (TransformerImpl.java:2186) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.applyTemplateToNode (TransformerImpl.java:2012) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.transformNode (TransformerImpl.java:1175) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.transform(TransformerImpl.java: 642) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.transform(TransformerImpl.java: 1092) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.transform(TransformerImpl.java: 1070) at com.katahdinsoftware.MainStub.<init>(MainStub.java:46) at com.katahdinsoftware.MainStub.main(MainStub.java:58)

also on a related note, I can't seem to get the "omit-xml-declaration" attribute of <xsl:output> to work either.

Thanks for any help

Best Regards
