DOM Document input to XSLTInputSource

[Stanley Santiago <st...@netscape.com>]

Hi,

Can Xalan handle DOM Document input created by parsers other that Xerces
??

I am trying to interface my app to another program than builds a
Document instance which implements
org.w3c.dom.Document.  I am not sure which xml parser this program uses
but the docs say that DOM document
is DOM Level 1(Core) conformant.

Here is a snippet of my code:


                ......
              XSLTProcessor processor =
              XSLTProcessorFactory.getProcessor(new
org.apache.xalan.xpath.xdom.XercesLiaison());

                Document adoc =
OtherProgram.getDocument("/acme/foo.bar");
                XSLTInputSource xmlsrc = new XSLTInputSource(adoc);

              StringWriter transformed = new StringWriter();
              XSLTResultTarget xtgt = new XSLTResultTarget(transformed);

             XSLTInputSource xslsrc = new XSLTInputSource("abc.xsl");
             processor.process(xmlsrc, xslsrc, xtgt);
              ......

This results in this Exception being thrown :

org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLProcessorException: XercesLiaison can not
handle nodes of type class com.iplanet.dom.Document
org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTEngineImpl.error(XSLTEngineImpl.java:1630)
org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTEngineImpl.error(XSLTEngineImpl.java:1594)
org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTEngineImpl.process(XSLTEngineImpl.java:655)


Am I missing something here ?


Thanks,
Stan
