Problems while converting Node to Document

[Elisa Bruschi <e....@cpr.it>]

Hello.
I have a little problem with Xalan and hope you can help me in solving it.
I wrote this piece of (working) code

Document in = ...;
String xslPath = .....................;// stylesheet path
String htmlPath = ...................; // in this case a html file path, 
the result of the application
// of the stylesheet to the xml document, but
// usually a HTTP stream (to send the result directly to the browser)
XSLTInputSource xmlID = new XSLTInputSource(in);
XSLTProcessor processor = XSLTProcessorFactory.getProcessor(new 
org.apache.xalan.xpath.xdom.XercesLiaison());
XSLTInputSource xslID = new XSLTInputSource(xslPath);
XSLTResultTarget htmlID = new XSLTResultTarget(htmlPath);
try {
processor.process(xmlID, xslID, htmlID);
         ...........

Now I'm trying to use the same piece of code with an instance of class 
Node (instead of Document) and it does not work.
I even tried with a brutal cast but unsuccessfully.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
   Elisa

I'm not sure if anyone answered you on this already but you'll need to
provide a little more information.  XSLT is designed to convert an
incoming Document (http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#data-model) to a result
Document.  Is your Node actually a Document?  What errors are you
getting which lead you to believe "it does not work".
