Error running Xalan sample: servlet.SimpleXSLTServlet

[Francois Bourgault <f_...@hotmail.com>]

Hi all,

I'm new to xalan-j_2_2_0 and when I try to run the above Xalan sample, I get 
the following error:

org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpljava.lang.ClassCastException: 
org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl at

below is part of the servlet:
try
{
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
// Get the XML input document and the stylesheet.
Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(new URL("file:todo.xml").openStream());
Source xslSource = new StreamSource(new URL("file:todo.xsl").openStream());

// Generate the transformer.
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xslSource);

// Perform the transformation, sending the output to the response.
transformer.transform(xmlSource, new StreamResult(out));

}
catch (Exception e)
{
out.write(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace(out);
}
out.close();

It's bombing on:
transformer.transform(xmlSource, new StreamResult(out));


I'm using jdk1.4

I did setup xalanservlet.jar and others in the classpath, but it doesn't 
work. The very 1st error is a "ClassCastException", Not sure what else I 
need to setup. Has someone else got the same problem?
Any help would be appreciated.

Francois.
