RE: Can't parse - base URL/URI

This should be in a FAQ for Xalan (we have plans someday to work on one...)

Just setSystemId(URLString) your inputs; only really needed when dealing
with streams/readers/etc.  Remeber that systemId's need to be legal URL's,
like file:///path/file.txt, not just plain local paths to files.  See the
RFC's for help on this.

Compare StreamSources that are constructed with Strings (being URL's):
            Source xslSource1 = new StreamSource(filenameToURL( xslName));

            Source xmlSource1 = new StreamSource(filenameToURL( xmlName));

            Result result1 = new StreamResult("outfile.txt");

            Templates templates1 = factory.newTemplates(xslSource1);
            Transformer transformer1 = templates1.newTransformer();
            transformer1.transform(xmlSource1, result1);

With any sources that are constructed otherwise, which need systemId set:
            InputStream xslStream1 = new FileInputStream( xslName);
            Source xslSource1 = new StreamSource(xslStream1);
            xslSource1.setSystemId(filenameToURL( xslName));

            InputStream xmlStream1 = new FileInputStream( xmlName);
            Source xmlSource1 = new StreamSource(xmlStream1);
            xmlSource1.setSystemId(filenameToURL( xmlName));

            FileOutputStream fos1 = new
FileOutputStream(outNames.currentName());
            Result result1 = new StreamResult(fos1);

            Templates templates1 = factory.newTemplates(xslSource1);
            Transformer transformer1 = templates1.newTransformer();
            transformer1.transform(xmlSource1, result1);

RE: Can't parse - base URL/URI

Posted by chris markiewicz <cm...@commnav.com>.
great.  works for me.  one final question - is it legit to set the system id
to a directory and not a file...in my case,
"http://cmarkiewicz.mars.dev.commnav.com", or should it point to an actual
file?

thanks for your help!
chris
