Problem on error in SAX 2 SAX transformation

[Suresh Babu Koya <sk...@quark.co.in>]

Hi Group,

    I am using the SAX 2 SAX sample of Xalan samples with modified versions
of the birds.xml and birds.xsl. The file has the structure:

<Customers>
	<Cust>
		<Customer id="ALFKI">
			<Name>Alfreds Futterkiste</Name>
		</Customer>
	</Cust>
	<Cust>
		<Customer id="ANATR">
			<Name>&Ana Trujillo Emparedados y helados</Name>
		</Customer>
	</Cust>
</Customers>

An error occurs when processing the second element and hence there is an
fatal error in XML. But since I am 
using a sax based approach for translation I expected the first node to be
created atleast. But no element is created at all.
What I got is an output file of 0 bytes after transforming with this XML? I
am using Xalan 2.4 and Xerces 2.1 to run this transformation.
Any help would be great.

We don't promise to write out absolutely everything possible up to the 
point where the error occurred. How close we get will depend on exactly 
what your stylesheet is doing and exactly how that interacts with the 
buffering required by some operations.

This may be a nuisance, but it is working as designed.

If you need more detail about the stylesheet's progress, you could use our 
tooling APIs... but I'm not sure they'd give you what you're looking for 
in this case.
