Stylesheet Location information

[Paul Winder <pw...@arbortext.com>]

Hi all,

I am trying to get location information when I get a stylesheet compilation 
failure.

With Xalan 2.0.1 I am using [TransformerFactory].newTemplates(StreamSource) 
to compile the stylesheet.
The StreamSource is constructed from the stylesheet file name.

I have an ErrorListener assigned.  It receives a fatalError() call when the 
stylesheet compile fails, with a reference to a TransformerException.
[TransformerException].getLocationAsString() returns null, as does 
[TransformerException].getLocator().

Is there something special I need to do to set up for receiving location 
information?

The error message itself is "White space is required between the entity 
name "commonI-aural-properties"
and the definition in the entity declaration."

This is particularly confusing in that the words "commonI", "aural", and 
"properties" are nowhere to be found in the stylesheet file or in any file 
in its directory or in any directories that contain files included in the 
stylesheet.

Does anyone have any thoughts about any of this?

Thanks,
Paul Winder

Locator stack in Xalan C 1.1

[Brian Quinlan <Br...@ActiveState.com>]

Hi,

This is a Xalan C 1.1. question:

Why is a stack necessary to hold the Locator object in
StylesheetConstructionContext/StylesheetHandler? And, assuming that this is
due to some sort of import/include problem, why doesn't StylesheetHandler
just keep track of the Locator itself?

Never mind...

I figured out that the TransformerException is wrapping a SAXParseException 
which has the location information.

And I found out that there's more included in the stylesheet than I ever 
suspected...
