TCK: Error transforming no argument DOMSource

           Summary: TCK: Error transforming no argument DOMSource
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: CurrentCVS
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: org.apache.xalan
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mkwan@ca.ibm.com


>From the Javadoc for the no argument DOMSource() constructor:

Zero-argument default constructor. If this is used, and no DOM source is set, 
then the Transformer will create an empty source Document using 
DocumentBuilder.newDocument().

The current implementation throws an exception instead of creating an empty 
Document. There is a similar problem with the no argument SAXSource and 
StreamSource.

Code:

import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;

public class DOMSourceTest
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
        try {
            Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance
().newTransformer();
            StreamResult result = new StreamResult(System.out);
            DOMSource source = new DOMSource();
            transformer.transform(source, result);
    
            System.out.println("Passed");
        } 
        catch (TransformerException e) {
            System.out.println("Failed: TransformerException is thrown");
        }
    }
}

Expected output:
Passed

Current output:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The input node ca
n not be null for a DOMSource for newTemplates!
