serializer problem in xalan 1.1 ?

[Peter Kharchenko <pe...@interactivebusiness.com>]

Hi,
 I am having a problem directing XML output through a serializer in a new version of Xalan. The same code works fine in the old version!
(1.0.1)
 The new setup uses straight-out-of-tar.gz jar files of xalan 1.1 distribution. (xalan.jar and xerces.jar)
 Am I doing something wrong or is there a major bug/incompatibility there ?

 Here's the trivial test proggie : transform and output through a serializer:

-------------test.java----------
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.apache.xalan.xslt.*;
import org.apache.xml.serialize.*;
import java.io.*;

public class test
{
 public static void main(String[] args)
    throws java.io.IOException,
           java.net.MalformedURLException,
           org.xml.sax.SAXException
 {

    XSLTProcessor processor = XSLTProcessorFactory.getProcessor();

    HTMLSerializer serializer= new HTMLSerializer(new OutputStreamWriter(System.out),new OutputFormat("HTML","UTF-8",true));

   processor.process(new XSLTInputSource("foo.xml"),
                      new XSLTInputSource("foo.xsl"),
                      new XSLTResultTarget(serializer));
 }
}
------------------------end of test.java-------------

and here's the exception that it generates instead of the output :

sorry if I am troubling you with an old question/problem. I couldn't seem to any info on that problem in release notes/faq/etc.

thanks,
