Xerces-Xalan interoperability problem.

[Zoltan Glozik <zo...@sse.ie>]

Hi,

I tried to execute an XSLT transformation on a DOM tree which was parsed by
Xerces and I got a -2 result code from XalanTransformer::transform. If I
don't parse the source file first, but rather provide the file name for
XSLTInputSource, everything works fine.

Here is the code that doesn't work:
-----------------------
 DOMParser  theParser;
 theParser.setToCreateXMLDeclTypeNode(false);
 theParser.parse("Data/trans_input1.xml");
 const DOM_Document theDOM = theParser.getDocument();
 XercesDOMSupport theDOMSupport;
 XercesParserLiaison theParserLiaison(theDOMSupport);
 XalanDocument* loXMLDocBridge =
   theParserLiaison.createDocument(theDOM);
 XSLTInputSource loXMLIn(loXMLDocBridge);

 XSLTInputSource loInStyle("Data/trans_input1.xsl");
 XSLTResultTarget loOut("Data/trans_output1.xml");

 XalanTransformer loXalanTransformer;
 int liResult = loXalanTransformer.transform(loXMLIn, loInStyle, loOut);
 // liResult == -2 here.
-----------------------

And here is the code that works:
-----------------------
 XSLTInputSource loXMLIn("Data/trans_input1.xml");
 XSLTInputSource loInStyle("Data/trans_input1.xsl");
 XSLTResultTarget loOut("Data/trans_output1.xml");

 XalanTransformer loXalanTransformer;
 int liResult = loXalanTransformer.transform(loXMLIn, loInStyle, loOut);
 // liResult == 0 here.
-----------------------

What am I doing wrong? What are my options for using a Xerces DOM tree as an
input source for XSLT transformation?

I am using Xalan 1.2 on Win32 platform with Xerces 1.5.1 (I compiled both).

Thanks,
Zoltan
